Labrador Sea Water Tracked by Profiling Floats—From the Boundary Current into the Open North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Fifteen profiling floats were injected into the deep boundary current off Labrador. They were ballasted to drift in the core depth of Labrador Sea Water (LSW) at 1500-m depth and were deployed in two groups during March ...
Hydrographic Structure of the Convection Regime in the Gulf of Lions: Winter 1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Deep winter convection in the northwestern Mediterranean (Gulf of Lions) and the subsequent formation of Mediterranean Deep Water were observed using advanced oceanographic instrumentation during a six-week long experiment ...
Boundary Circulation at the Exit of the Labrador Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The deep circulation and related transports of the southern Labrador Sea are determined from direct current observations from ship surveys and a moored current-meter array. The measurements covered a time span from summer ...
Mean Circulation and Variability of the Tropical Atlantic during 1952–2001 in the GECCO Assimilation Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The shallow subtropical?tropical cells (STC) of the Atlantic Ocean have been studied from the output fields of a 50-yr run of the German partner of the Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (GECCO) consortium ...
Transports and Pathways of the Upper-Layer Circulation in the Western Tropical Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The mean warm water transfer toward the equator along the western boundary of the South Atlantic is investigated, based on a number of ship surveys carried out during 1990?96 with CTD water mass observations and current ...
Variability of Structure and Transport of the Florida Current in the Period Range of Days to Seasonal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current measurements with five repeated moored arrays were carried out from April 1982 to June 1984 across the Florida Current between West Palm Beach and Grand Bahama Island; a reduced sixth array was continued until June ...
The Mean Circulation East of the Bahamas as Determined from a Recent Measurement Program and Historical XBT Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observational evidence from a two-ship synoptic survey, from one-year-long current measurements at four sites, and from two independent long-term expendable-baththermograph (XBT) data sets is combined to describe the ...
Structure and Mechanisms of South Indian Ocean Climate Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A unique open-ocean upwelling exists in the tropical South Indian Ocean (SIO), a result of the negative wind curl between the southeasterly trades and equatorial westerlies, raising the thermocline in the west. Analysis ...
Circulation and Deep-Water Export at the Western Exit of the Subpolar North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current system east of the Grand Banks was intensely observed by World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) array ACM-6 during 1993?95 with eight moorings, reaching about 500 km out from the shelf edge and covering the ...
The Shallow and Deep Western Boundary Circulation of the South Atlantic at 5°–11°S
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Repeated shipboard observation sections across the boundary flow off northeastern Brazil as well as acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and current-meter records from a moored boundary array deployed during 2000?04 ...
