Low-Frequency Current Regimes over the Bering Sea Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using direct current measurements made during the period 1975?81, we describe the general circulation over the southeastern Bering Sea and differentiate it by regimes related to depth and forcing mechanisms. Three regimes ...
Observation of a Baroclinic Eddy: An Example of Mesoscale Variability in the Bering Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Drift buoys with shallow (17 m) drogues, released during May 1977 and tracked by satellite, delineated an eddy in the southeastern Bering Sea. Located above complex topography having a depth range of 200 to 3000 m, the ...
Low-Frequency Variations in Currents near the Shelf Break: Northeast Gulf of Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We present current observations from depths of 20, 50, 100 and 175 m obtained over a 3-year period near the northeast Gulf of Alaska shelf break, and emphasize a 2-year continuous segment from 50 m depth. These records ...
