Bottom Temperatures in Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ong time series of bottom temperatures in the Southern Ocean are rare. The cDrake array with over 40 current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders, moored across Drake Passage to monitor the Antarctic Circumpolar ...
Mapping Abyssal Current and Pressure Fields under the Meandering Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Using bottom pressure measurements and current meter measurements at 3500-m depth at 12 sites under the Gulf Stream near 68°W daily optimally interpolated (OI) maps have been constructed for June 1988 to August 1990. Prior ...
IES Calibration and Mapping Procedures
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The procedures used in the Synoptic Ocean Prediction experiment for calibration of inverted echo sounder (IES) travel time τ data have led to substantially improved accuracy. In previous work, τ was converted to main ...
A Multi-Index GEM Technique and Its Application to the Southwestern Japan/East Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper demonstrates a new gravest empirical mode (GEM) technique that constructs multi-index lookup tables of temperature (T) and specific volume anomalies (δ) using historical hydrocasts as a function of three indices: ...
Propagation of Kuroshio Extension Meanders between 143° and 149°E
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: two-dimensional array of current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders provided synoptic measurements of the upper and deep fluctuations in the Kuroshio Extension between 143° and 149°E with mesoscale resolution. ...
Estimates of Eddy Heat Flux Crossing the Antarctic Circumpolar Current from Observations in Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he 4-yr measurements by current- and pressure-recording inverted echo sounders in Drake Passage produced statistically stable eddy heat flux estimates. Horizontal currents in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) turn ...
Baroclinic Transport Time Series of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current Measured in Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he first multiyear continuous time series of Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) baroclinic transport through Drake Passage measured by moored observations is presented. From 2007 to 2011, 19 current- and pressure-recording ...
An Acoustic Telemetry System Implemented for Real-Time Monitoring of the Gulf Stream with Inverted Echo Sounders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From August 1989 until August 1990, a simple acoustic telemetry system was used for obtaining real-time data from four inverted echo sounders (IESs) deployed in the Synoptic Ocean Prediction Experiment (SYNOP) inlet array ...
Mapping Circulation in the Kuroshio Extension with an Array of Current and Pressure Recording Inverted Echo Sounders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS) aimed to quantify processes governing the variability of and the interaction between the Kuroshio Extension and the recirculation gyre. To meet this goal, a suite of instrumentation, ...
Combining Inverted Echo Sounder and Horizontal Electric Field Recorder Measurements to Obtain Absolute Velocity Profiles
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Profiles of absolute velocity are difficult to obtain in the ocean, especially over long periods of time at the same location. This paper presents a method of estimating full water column absolute horizontal velocity ...
