Abstract: Deep density-depth curves often show faint curvature reversals, stability maxima etc. Relationships between these features and the field of motion are explored here, in reference to the South Pacific, for interior regions ...

Abstract: Some (not all) of the oceanographic literature slightly miscalculates the vertical velocity (w) and diffusive salt flux induced by evaporation (E) and precipitation (P) at the sea surface. Short, simple, physical derivations ...

Abstract: A model for the structure of deep western boundary currents, based on linear momentum equations and lateral mixing of density, is applied to data from a recent section across the Ninetyeast Ridge current in the eastern ...

Abstract: Sections of closely spaced CTD stations along Longs. 165°W, 175°W and 175°E, in combination with 14-month current records from the central longitude, define two deep, nearly zonal currants, with speed increasing upward, ...

Abstract: The authors point out that, since the ?form-drag? force balance commonly advanced for the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is really just a statement that northward Ekman transport in the circumpolar Drake Passage zone is ...

Abstract: During April?June 1972 three ships conducted a survey of the region between the Grand Banks and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, including a grid of hydrographic stations, and two long lines of near-bottom current-meter moorings ...
