Abstract: Mesoscale baroclinic circulation features in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Ridge are delineated through the construction of the horizontal distribution of mean 300 m temperature on a 0.5° latitude/longitude grid. This high ...

Abstract: In the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent downstream (east) from the Galapagos archipelago, an unusual meander pattern was observed in the spring of 1967. Two separate hypotheses present themselves as explanations for the ...

Abstract: A mathematical barotropic model based upon the conservation of absolute vorticity is used to determine the effect of the spherical shape of the rotating earth [approximated by the beta (?) effect] on a steady uniform ...

Abstract: A wind-driven model experiment is designed to test the effectiveness of the classical wind-driven theory of Veronis and Stommel (1956) in explaining the phase and amplitude of the seasonal cycle of the main thermocline in ...

Abstract: Indirect procedures are used to estimate the latitudinal distribution of the large-scale vertical eddy diffusivity coefficient in the main pycnocline from the interannual change in T?, ?? structure of the water column in ...

Abstract: From an analysis of the bathythermograph (BT) data files for the entire tropical North Pacific Ocean, the annual vertical displacement in the main thermocline from 10°?20°N is observed to propagate Westward as baroclinc ...

Abstract: In stationary solutions of the equations for nucleation, coagulation and sedimentation, the concentration of large particles falls off more strongly than any power of particle size. The tails of stationary size distributions ...

Abstract: Study of a schematic linear, wind-driven, inertio?gravity wave model in the upper ocean finds resonant, near-inertial waves of finite horizontal wavelength to have both horizontal and vertical motions. The mean product of ...
