Abstract: Indirect procedures are used to estimate the latitudinal distribution of the large-scale vertical eddy diffusivity coefficient in the main pycnocline from the interannual change in T?, ?? structure of the water column in ...

Abstract: Hydrographic and expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data from several sources have been drawn together to summarize the distribution of baroclinc mesoscale eddy energy in the mid-latitude North Pacific Ocean. A striking ...

Abstract: In this article high-resolution satellite imagery from a variety of meteorological and environmental satellites is compared. Digital datasets from Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES), National Oceanic ...

Abstract: The Ekman pumping mechanism for altering the depth of the main thermocline in response to wind stress curl is tested in the central midlatitude North Pacific. According to this mechanism, the depth of the main thermocline ...
