Abstract: n oceanic and atmospheric flows, the eddy vorticity flux divergence?denoted ?F? herein?emerges as a key dynamical quantity, capturing the average effect of fluctuations on the time-mean circulation. For a barotropic system, ...

Abstract: During June?November 1994, a mooring in the central Labrador Sea near the former Ocean Weather Station Bravo recorded a half-dozen anomalous events that prove to be two different types of coherent eddies. Comparisons with ...

Abstract: This paper presents initial results from new velocity observations in the eastern part of the equatorial Atlantic Ocean from a moored current-meter array. During the ?EQUALANT? program (1999?2000), a mooring array was ...

Abstract: Observations from the past decades have promoted the idea of a long-lived anticyclonic vortex residing in the Lofoten Basin. Despite repeatedly recorded intense anticyclones, the observations cannot firmly decide whether ...

Abstract: A 12-month mooring record (May 1994?June 1995), together with accompanying PALACE float data, is used to describe an annual cycle of deep convection and restratification in the Labrador Sea. The mooring is located at ...
