RISSouth Pacific Eastern Subtropical Mode Water
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure, formation, and destruction of South Pacific Eastern Subtropical Mode Water (SPESTMW) are analyzed. Geographic extent and water properties are discussed by using high-quality CTD sections collected between ...
Profiling Float Observations of the Upper Ocean under Sea Ice off the Wilkes Land Coast of Antarctica
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ultiyear under-ice temperature and salinity data collected by profiling floats are used to study the upper ocean near the Wilkes Land coast of Antarctica. The study region is in the seasonal sea ice zone near the southern ...
Delayed-Mode Calibration of Autonomous CTD Profiling Float Salinity Data by θ–S Climatology
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Autonomous CTD profiling floats are free-moving floats that report vertical profiles of salinity, temperature, and pressure at regular time intervals. The Argo program plans to deploy 3000 such floats to observe the upper ...
Freshwater and Heat Changes in the North and South Pacific Oceans between the 1960s and 1985–94
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparisons of hydrographic conditions in the North and South Pacific Oceans in the 1960s and 1985?94 have been made along five World Ocean Circulation Experiment sections. Below the seasonal mixed layer, statistically ...
Winter Upper-Ocean Stability and Ice–Ocean Feedbacks in the Sea Ice–Covered Southern Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractIn this study, under-ice ocean data from profiling floats, instrumented seals, and shipboard casts are used to assess wintertime upper-ocean stability and heat availability in the sea ice?covered Southern Ocean. ...
