Interactions between Near-Inertial Mixed Layer Currents and the Mesoscale: The Importance of Spatial Variabilities in the Vorticity Field
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite-tracked mixed-layer drifter data from the 1987 Ocean Storms Experiment in the northeast Pacific are used to study the temporal and spatial variability in the near-inertial currents of the surface mixed layer. The ...
Temporal Variability of the Large-Scale Geostrophic Surface Velocity in the Northeast Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from Argos-tracked mixed layer drifters in fall and winter 1987 (49 drifters) and 1989 (16 drifters) are used to investigate the differences in the large-scale surface velocity and eddy activity in the northeast ...
