| description abstract | A newly developed buoy which is free drifting and tracked by satellite was successfully used to measure the movement of a Gull Stream ring. The buoy, launched in a young ring at 36°15?N, 58°00?W, looped around its center with a period of 54 h, radius of 25 km and speed of 75 cm s?1 For two mouths the ring moved rapidly and consistently to the northeast with an average speed of 9 cm s?1. An airborne XBT survey and satellite infused radiometry measurements, provided evidence that the ring coalesced with the Gulf Stream neat 53°W. This study presents the most convincing evidence yet that a ring can coalesce with the Gulf Stream. When this result is combined with the results of other studies, there is a suggestion that rings may coalesce with the Gulf Stream more frequently than previously believed. | |
