Abstract:: The BEST (Benguela Source and Transport) project was designed to investigate the form of the Benguela Current and ratio of the Aguhlhas Current and South Atlantic Current source waters masses. The transport of the Benguela Current and its variability was measured by a moored array of instruments, inverted echo sounders...

Abstract:: The Gibraltar Experiment is a many faceted study of the dynamics and kinematics of the exchange between the Atlantic and Mediterranean through the Strait of Gibraltar (Bryden and Kinder, 1986). Net evaporation over the Mediterranean basin forces a surface inflow of Atlantic water and a nearly compensating deep outflow of...

Abstract:: This report describes current meter measurements from an experiment to measure the deep western boundary current that carries dense water from the Antarctic to the Pacific Ocean. The field measurements were conducted as part of a joint two year experiment by Oregon State University, Texas A&M University, Woods Hole Oceanographic...

Abstract:: The data described in this report were collected in support of the program, Abyssal Boundary Current Studies, funded by the National Science Foundation. This program was designed to improve our understanding of the structure and variability of the deep western boundary currents and to estimate their transport of heat and...

Creator:: Bottero, J. S., Bryden, H. L., Root, D. C., and Simpkins, J., III
Abstract:: Observations were made southeast of New Zealand from April 1978 to May 1980 with the objectives of investigating the dynamics of low-frequency motions and their effects on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current; and the formation of subantarctic mode water on Campbell Plateau. Self-recording instruments were deployed during a 7-month period from...
