Abstract: Data obtained on two cruises to the Antarctic Polar Front are used to investigate the nature of thermohaline intrusions in the front. These data, obtained in the Drake Passage and south of New Zealand, include CTD time ...

Abstract: Finestructure observations gathered in the equatorial Pacific are discussed. The measurements consist of a 48 h CTD time series within the salinity front at the northern edge of the Equatorial Undercurrent at 110°W. The ...

Abstract: Current-meter data from a two-year mooring within a fracture zone on the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the South Atlantic Ocean are reported. The mooring, deployed in conjunction with the Brazil Basin Tracer ...

Abstract: Fine- and microstructure profiles collected over Fieberling Seamount at 32°26?N in the eastern North Pacific reveal a variety of intensified baroclinic motions driven by astronomical diurnal tides. The forced response ...

Abstract: Seasonal variability of near-inertial horizontal kinetic energy is examined using observations from a series of McLane Moored Profiler moorings located at 39°N, 69°W in the western North Atlantic Ocean in combination with ...

Abstract: An analysis of finescale horizontal-velocity shear and density data collected along 110°W longitude in the equatorial Pacific is presented. The measurements were made with the free-fall velocity?density profiler, TOPS. ...

Abstract: Pacific near-equatorial absolute-velocity data and CTD?O2 observations collected from the R.V. Conrad in the northern fall of 1982 are presented. Quite by chance, the cruise took place during the early stages of the 1982/83 ...

Abstract: alinity and temperature profiles from drifting ice-tethered profilers in the Beaufort gyre region of the Canada Basin are used to characterize and quantify the regional near-inertial internal wave field over one year. ...

Abstract: he equatorial deep jets (EDJs) are a ubiquitous feature of the equatorial oceans; in the Atlantic Ocean, they are the dominant mode of interannual variability of the zonal flow at intermediate depth. On the basis of more ...

Abstract: Fine- and microstructure data from a free fall profiler are analysed to test models that relate the turbulent dissipation rate (?) to characteristics of the internal wave field. The data were obtained from several distinct ...
