Profile of an Isopycnal Surface in the Main Thermocline of the Sargasso Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical displacement and slope of an isopycnal surface (by which is meant a density surface of constant σt) are described spatially. The data were acquired by towing pressure, temperature and conductivity sensors in ...
An Interannual Study of the Atlantic North Equatorial Countercurrent
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Beginning in 1983, the dynamic height difference at the sea surface defining the countercurrent trough at 38°W was continuously observed by Inverted Echo Sounders at 3°N and 9°N for six years and ten months. The amplitude ...
Atmospheric Diffusion of Settling Particles with Sluggish Response
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A study is presented of the settling of heavy particles in a turbulent medium and quantitatively applied to the lower atmosphere. The response time of settling particles to changes in the velocity of their surroundings is ...
Waves along the Equator in the Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spectra of two hundred days of data from five inverted echo sounders deployed along the equator in 1983?84 and a thousand days of 30 crossings of the equator by the TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter in 1993?95 are both found to ...
Observations of Inertia-Gravity Waves in the Atlantic from Inverted Echo Sounders during FGGE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The study is based on observations from inverted echo sounders anchored near the equator in the western Atlantic Ocean. It appears to be a good method of detecting inertia-gravity waves with large vertical scale. The ...
