The Feasibility of Dynamic Height Determination from Moored Temperature Sensors
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The existence of a tight T-S relationship in the southwestern North Atlantic is used to convert temperature measurements from moored sensors to dynamic heights. Seven hydrographic cruises with intensive CTD coverage during ...
Variability of Structure and Transport of the Florida Current in the Period Range of Days to Seasonal
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Current measurements with five repeated moored arrays were carried out from April 1982 to June 1984 across the Florida Current between West Palm Beach and Grand Bahama Island; a reduced sixth array was continued until June ...
Western Boundary Current Structure and Variability East of Abaco, Bahamas at 26.5°N
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During April 1987 to June 1988, a four-mooring, transport-resolving current meter array was deployed in a section extending 70 km eastward from Abaco, Bahamas, at 26.5°N. Mean currents in the upper layer (≤800 m) showed a ...
Moored Observations of Western Boundary Current Variability and Thermohaline Circulation at 26.5° in the Subtropical North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A 5.8-year time series of moored current meter observations is used with hydrographic section data, CME model results, and gridded wind fields over the North Atlantic to describe the mean structure and variability of ...
Meridional Heat Transport Variability at 26.5°N in the North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from almost five years of current meter moorings located across the Bahamas Escarpment at 26.5°N are used to investigate meridional heat transport variability in the section and its impact on transatlantic heat flux. ...
The Kuroshio East of Taiwan: Moored Transport Observations from the WOCE PCM-1 Array
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from the WOCE PCM-1 moored current meter array east of Taiwan for the period September 1994 to May 1996 are used to derive estimates of the Kuroshio transport at the entrance to the East China Sea. Three ...
The Kuroshio East of Taiwan: Modes of Variability and Relationship to Interior Ocean Mesoscale Eddies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment PCM-1 moored current meter array in the East Taiwan Channel are analyzed and combined with TOPEX/Poseidon altimetry data and the Parallel Ocean Climate Model simulation ...
The Mean Circulation East of the Bahamas as Determined from a Recent Measurement Program and Historical XBT Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observational evidence from a two-ship synoptic survey, from one-year-long current measurements at four sites, and from two independent long-term expendable-baththermograph (XBT) data sets is combined to describe the ...
Circulation and Deep-Water Export at the Western Exit of the Subpolar North Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The current system east of the Grand Banks was intensely observed by World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE) array ACM-6 during 1993?95 with eight moorings, reaching about 500 km out from the shelf edge and covering the ...
The Shallow and Deep Western Boundary Circulation of the South Atlantic at 5°–11°S
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Repeated shipboard observation sections across the boundary flow off northeastern Brazil as well as acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and current-meter records from a moored boundary array deployed during 2000?04 ...
