Altimeter observations of the Peru-Chile countercurrent

Creator:

Strub, P. Ted, Mesias, Jorge M., and James, Corinne

Abstract:

Data from Geosat and TOPEX altimeters are used to infer the structure of the Peru-Chile Countercurrent, a jet that flows from at least as far north as 10ºS (historical data suggests 7ºS) to 35º–40ºS, maintaining its position between approximately 100–300 km offshore. Although the annual mean current cannot be determined...

The large-scale summer circulation of the California Current

Creator:

Strub, P. Ted and James, Corinne

Abstract:

Satellite data from the Geosat altimeter and the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) are used to show the large-scale structure of the surface circulation of the California Current System in summer. These data show the connection between an equatorward jet and temperature front off Oregon that lies within 100...
