Bottom Temperatures Related to Gulf Stream Displacement off the Southeast United States Shelf
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bottom temperature time series recorded beneath the Gulf Stream at 265 and 589 m depth off the Georgia coast are compared with simultaneous time series of main thermocline depth determined from inverted echo sounder and ...
Using Acoustic Travel Time to Determine Dynamic Height Variations in the North Atlantic Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: There is often an approximately linear relationship between various water-column integrals, in particular between surface dynamic height anomaly ?D and acoustic round-trip travel time τ. Consequently, the record from an ...
Wind–Current Coupling on the Southern Flank of Georges Bank: Variation with Season and Frequency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparison of several years of current observations on the southern flank of Georges Bank with nearby wind data shows that the wind?current coupling is primarily between longshelf wind stress and longshelf current. The ...
Oscillations of Dynamic Topography in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: For 14 months in 1980?81, surface dynamic height was monitored with inverted echo sounders at five sites from 0 to 9°N along 110°W. These records show that the SEC/NECC equatorial current system was well-developed during ...
Kuroshio Meanders in the East China Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An array of seven inverted echo sounders was moored along and across the Kuroshio in the East China Sea for more than one year. The data from this array show evidence of energetic meanders with periods of 7, 11, and 16 ...
Seasonal Variability of the South Equatorial Current Bifurcation in the Atlantic Ocean: A Numerical Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study, a reduced-gravity, primitive equation OGCM is used to investigate the seasonal variability of the bifurcation of the South Equatorial Current (SEC) into the Brazil Current (BC) to the south and the North ...
Tidal Effects on Intermediate Waters: A Case Study in the East/Japan Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although tides are believed to be the most important source for diapycnal mixing in the ocean, few studies have directly simulated open-ocean circulation including tides. Because the East/Japan Sea (EJS) has been considered ...
