Abstract: Data from an extensive moored instrument array and three hydrographic cruises are used to calculate a time series of the net transport through the upper 2500 m of the Drake Passage. The baroclinic geostrophic transport was ...

Abstract: Meausrements from bottom pressure gauges located at the north and south sides of Drake Passage are used to extend the one-year time series of volume transport of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) given previously by ...

Abstract: An equatorward meander in the Antarctic Polar Front at Drake Passage was observed to amplify and pinch off during January and early February 1979, forming a cold-core. cyclonic current fins with a radius of ?50 km. This ...

Abstract: Estimates of the net transport through Drake Passage are made for three periods during which the year-long DRAKE 79 current meter array spanning the Passage was in operation. Relative geostrophic shears from hydrographic ...
