Abstract: The coherence of sea level is examined between a number of widely distributed stations chosen from those with the longest datasets, such as at San Francisco, where the data has been recorded since 1855. The sea-level signals ...

Abstract: Results of land leveling do not agree with oceanographers? expectations concerning coastal slopes of sea level. Recent studies have shown that along the west coast of the United State this discrepancy can be explained by ...

Abstract: The most energetic events in the circulation of the Gulf of Mexico are the separation of large anticyclonic rings from the Loop Current. Building on previous work, the authors examine all the apparent rings since July 1973. ...

Abstract: In the course of archiving positions of the edge of the Loop Current from satellite infrared (IR) data, we have found a substantial amount of energy at periods in the ?wind-driven band.? Using a technique patterned after ...

Abstract: The Bermuda tide gauge record extends back to the early 1930s. That sea level fluctuations there are highly coherent with dynamic height from hydrographic data has two interesting implications. First, it should contain ...

Abstract: Variability of sea level on the offshore side of the Gulf Stream has been estimated with a wind-forced numerical model. The difference in sea level between the model and coastal tide gauges therefore provides an estimate ...

Abstract: Three weeks of current-meter, wind and sea-level data off Cedar Key, Florida are analyzed. Currents and sea level are found to be coherent with alongshore wind stress in the ?synoptic? band (?0.05?0.25 cycle per day) and ...

Abstract: Tidal and meteorological records at stations in the eastern Gulf of Mexico have been studied. The sea-level response is a maximum for winds along the coast and varies symmetrically with angle. The coherence is maximum at ...

Abstract: The separation of anticyclonic rings is studied using a 12-level primitive equation numerical model of the western North Atlantic. The ?Gulf Stream Formation Region? model is based on the Bryan-Cox-Semtner code, and uses ...

Abstract: One of the puzzling features of sea level on the east coast of the United States is the decedal-scale variability;the fluctuations are 10?15 cm, peak to peak, at periods longer than a few years. The authors find that this ...
