Equatorial Atlantic Velocity and Temperature Observations: February–November 1981
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Upper ocean velocity and temperature measurements were obtained in the central equatorial Atlantic using surface moored current meters from February to November 1981. Distinct seasonal variations were observed in the zonal ...
The Zonal Momentum Balance of the Equatorial Undercurrent in the Central Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current velocity data from an array of subsurface moorings deployed during the Tropical Instability Wave Experiment from May 1990 to June 1991 are used to diagnose the upper-ocean zonal momentum balance at 0°, 140°W. The ...
Slow Variability in the Equatorial West-Central Pacific in Relation to ENSO
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Six years of upper-ocean velocity, temperature, and surface wind data collected in the west-central Pacific at 0°, 170°W reveal a slow ocean dynamical mode associated with the El Niño?Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Latent ...
Tropical Instability Wave Energetics: Observations from the Tropical Instability Wave Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean velocity data from an array of subsurface moorings deployed from May 1990 to June 1991 during the Tropical Instability Wave Experiment are used to study the energetics of planetary waves in the vicinity of the equator ...
Relative Humidity over the West Florida Continental Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observed relative humidity variations on the coastal ocean of the West Florida Continental Shelf (WFS) are examined over the 5-yr period 1998?2003. Despite considerable daily variability within seasons, the monthly mean ...
A Systematic Search for Trapped Equatorial Waves in the GATE Velocity Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Moored current meter data taken over a 60-day period during GATE (GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment) near the equator at 28°W, have been systematically searched for vertically propagating equatorially trapped waves. Three ...
Low-Frequency Variability in the Equatorial Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Low-frequency v and u component oscillations in the eastern equatorial Atlantic are addressed using lime series of up to 1.5 years duration from the lower portion of the main thermocline. A distinct frequency separation ...
Vertical Structure of Low Frequency Variability in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical structure of low frequency velocity and temperature variability in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean is examined using surface and subsurface moored current meter data from 0°, 110°W between 20 and 3027 m ...
