Abstract: Sea surface flow derived from displacements of surface patterns in sequential NOAA-6 AVHRR (11 micron band) satellite images yield coherent nonuniform distributions of velocity vectors, An analytic representation of flow ...

Abstract: The acoustic properties of a cyclonic Gulf Stream ring have been studied with field data and ray computations. Cyclonic rings represent relatively low sound velocity regions with large horizontal gradients of sound velocity ...

Abstract: An entrainment and diffusion model has been applied to successive observations of a decaying Gulf Stream cyclonic ring to investigate changes in the streamline pattern as the ring moved from deep water onto Blake Plateau. ...

Abstract: The North American Slope and Gulf Stream components that constitute the initial water masses within a cyclonic ring can combine with Sargasso Sea water to generate Western North Atlantic Water (WNAW) common to the main ...

Abstract: The parametric model used by Schmitz and Vastano (1975) to investigate a Gulf Stream cyclonic ring has been applied to successive observations of a Gulf of Mexico anticyclonic ring. Coefficients for a polynomial representation ...

Abstract: The mixing and entrainment processes present in a cyclonic ring are investigated by means of a parametric model which is fitted to serial temperature data for a North Atlantic ring. The physical model assumes an axially ...

Abstract: Sequential Nimbus-7 CZCS infrared and visible images obtained on orbits 3157 and 3171 during 9?10 June 1979 have been used to derive sea surface flow from advective sea surface pattern displacements and elapsed time. ...

Abstract: Eight cruises over a 10-month period in the North Atlantic have provided the Cyclonic Ring Experiment with observations of two rings. Life histories, structure and structural changes have been studied with emphasis on the ...

Abstract: A finite-difference numerical model based on the classical linear long-wave equations has been developed to study the tsunami response of multiple-island systems. The first application of this model was to the Hawaiian ...

Abstract: Field observations provide a data base that supports a comparison of ring structures in terms of the background Sargasso Sea environment. Five ring surveys, three from the 1967 sequence, a big baby ring and ring AL, were ...
