  • Atomspheric driving forces for the Agulhas Current in the subtropics

    Creator:
    Fetter, A., Lutjeharms, J. R. E., and Matano, Ricardo P.
    Abstract:
    The Agulhas Current is the western boundary current of the South Indian Ocean and is thought to play an important role in the global overturning circulation. In this study, we investigate the contribution from the wind stress field over each ocean basin of the southern hemisphere to the variability of...

  • The Hydraulics of an Evolving Upwelling Jet Flowing around a Cape

    Creator:
    Dale, Andrew C. and Barth, John A.
    Abstract:
    Upwelling jets flow alongshore in approximate geostrophic balance with the onshore pressure gradient induced by coastal upwelling. Observations of such jets have shown that they often move offshore downstream of capes, leaving a pool of upwelled water inshore. Comparisons are made between this behavior and the hydraulic transition of a...

  • The front on the Northern Flank of Georges Bank in spring : 2. Cross-frontal fluxes and mixing

    Creator:
    Ullman, David S., Dale, Andrew C., Hebert, Dave, and Barth, John A.
    Abstract:
    Hydrographic observations made with an undulating vehicle carrying a CTD and concurrent shipboard ADCP velocity observations over a 12‐day period are combined to investigate vertical mixing and cross‐frontal fluxes on the Northern Flank of Georges Bank. The CTD density time series is analyzed to detect the presence of vertical overturns,...

  • The South Atlantic Ocean response to local and remote forcings

    Creator:
    Fetter Filho, Antonio F. H.
    Abstract:
    The local and remote sources of variability of the South Atlantic Ocean are investigated using a set of numerical experiments and satellite data. A global, eddy-permitting, numerical simulation is analyzed to investigate the dynamical links between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and the Malvinas Current (MC). The model results indicate...
