RISVariability of Potential Energy, Dynamic Height and Salinity in the Main Pycnocline of the Western North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrographic data in the upper 2 km from the period 1914?73 have been analyzed in the western North Atlantic (22?36°N, 66?74°W). Expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data were also analyzed and compared with the hydrographic ...
Small Water-Property Transporting Eddies: Statistical Outliers in the Hydrographic Data of the POLYMODE Local Dynamics Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hydrographic measurements from the POLYMODE Local Dynamics Experiment (LDE; 31°N, 69.5°W; May?July 1978) are examined for highly anomalous, outlying observations of salinity, oxygen and vortex stretching on isopycnal ...
Dynamic Heights and Zonal Geostrophic Transports in the Central Tropical Pacific during 1979–84
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dynamic height is calculated from XBT and surface salinity data in the central Pacific using a mean temperature?salinity (T?S) relation in the usual way below the thermocline but assuming isohaline water in the upper layer ...
Dynamics of Seasonal and Intraseasonal Variability in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Time series measurements from surface moored buoys in the eastern equatorial Pacific are analyzed for the period 1983?86. The data, collected as part of the EPOCS and TROPIC HEAT programs, consist of currents, temperatures, ...
Absolute Geostrophic Velocity Determination from Historical Hydrographic Data in the Western North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Beta-spiral calculations are presented using averaged western North Atlantic hydrographic data from the period 1914?73. Profiles of long-term mean geostrophic flow relative to ISM db along 70°W from 26 to 32°N are shown. ...
Water Mass Structure during the POLYMODE Local Dynamics Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The seven intensive hydrographic surveys of temperature, salinity and oxygen of the POLYMODE local Dynamics Experiment (LDE) (15 May?15 July 1978) were carded out in a 200 km-wide octagonal region centered at 31°05?N, ...
The Mesoscale Spatial Structure and Evolution of Dynamical and Scalar Properties Observed in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean during the POLYMODE Local Dynamics Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dynamical properties examined in this paper are the dynamic height and the pressure on an isopycnal. Scalars are the salinity and the oxygen concentration on an isopycnal. The sea surface temperature and salinity are also ...
Detection, Structure, and Origin of Extreme Anomalies in a Western Atlantic Oceanographic Section
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ten anomalous water parcels were detected in the water column of a western Atlantic oceanographic section (0?5550 m; 70°W; 23?33°N). The parcels had extreme properties lying either two standard deviations from historical ...
