RISAn Oceanic Wake in the Equatorial Undercurrent Downstream from the Galapagos Archipelago
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
A Rossby Wake due to an Island in an Eastward Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
A Wind-Driven Model Experiment of the Seasonal Cycle of the Main Thermocline in the Interior Midlatitude North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Annual Forcing of Baroclinic Long Waves in the Tropical North Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Vertical Reynolds Stress Divergence in the Upper Ocean Associated with Linear Wind-Driven, Near-Inertial Waves of Finite Wavelength
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
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 ...
Evidence for Coupled Rossby Waves in the Annual Cycle of the Indo–Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The annual cycle in TOPEX/Poseidon sea level height (SLH) and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) sea surface temperature (SST) and meridional surface wind (MSW) from 1993 to 1998 in the trade wind zone ...

Traveling Wave-Like Mesoscale Perturbations in the North Pacific Current
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Individual seasonal mean maps of temperature at 300 m in the North Pacific Current cast of 180° from 1976 to 1980 were constructed from TRANSPAC XBT data. The long-term annual mean map is relatively smooth, with some weak ...
