Formation of Meanders, Fronts, and Cutoff Thermal Pools in a Baroclinic Ocean Current
Baroclinic Ocean Current Cutoff Thermal Pools
2009/3/24
Using an analytical model similar to that previously applied by the authors to the atmosphere, calculations are made showing how second-order, nongeostrophic effects can modify a two-layer baroclinic ...
Mesoscale Eddies Detached from Spatially Growing Meanders in an Eastward-Flowing Oceanic jet Using a Two-Layer Quasi-Geostrophic Model
Mesoscale Eddies Eastward-Flowing Oceanic jet Two-Layer Quasi-Geostrophic Model
2009/2/10
The process of eddy detachment from a strong, eastward-flowing oceanic jet, which is modeled after the Gulf Stream, is studied using a two-layer quasi-geostrophic model. Numerical calculations are per...
Meanders and Detached Eddies of a Strong Eastward-Flowing Jet Using a Two-Layer Quasi-Geostrophic Model
Detached Eddies Two-Layer Quasi-Geostrophic Model Strong Eastward-Flowing Jet
2009/2/9
The process of meander growth on and eddy detachment from an eastward flowing oceanic jet, which is modeled after the Gulf Stream east of Cape Hatteras, is studied using numerical solutions of nonline...
Gulf Stream Fluctuations and Meanders over the Onslow Bay Upper Continental Slope
sea surface temperature Onslow Bay Upper Continental Slope
2009/2/9
Gulf Stream fluctuations observed over the 200 and 400 m isobaths off Onslow Bay, North Carolina have a prominent weekly time scale. The principal fluctuations observed during the 4-month winter exper...
Meanders of the Gulf Stream Downstream from Cape Hatteras 1975–1978
Gulf Stream Downstream Cape Hatteras
2009/2/5
Weekly Gulf Stream paths within 1000 km downstream of Cape Hatteras were obtained for 1975–78 from the Navy's weekly EOFA charts based on satellite IR imagery. They displayed two dominant meander mode...
Satellite Observations and Modeling of Meanders in the California Current System off Oregon and Northern California
Satellite Observations California Current System Northern California
2009/1/21
Infrared satellite images from the west coasts of Oregon and northern California are used to identify meander patterns in sea surface temperature which appear as large cold tongues extending offshore....
Observation and Modeling of Satellite-Sensed Meanders and Eddies off Vancouver Island
Satellite-Sensed Meanders Vancouver Island
2009/1/19
A long time series of satellite infrared images spanning the period 21 July–8 October 1980 reveals the evolution of long (160 km) and short (80 km) wavelength meanders of the California Current System...
Near-Surface Meanders in the Equatorial Indian Ocean
Near-Surface Meanders Equatorial Indian Ocean
2009/1/12
Drifting buoys were released in the western Indian Ocean from 1979 to 1982. They reveal meanders of the eastward flowing monsoon drift in August–September 1979, 1980 and 1981. Oscillating meridional b...
Modeling Interpretation of Mesoscale Meanders of the Ice Edge off the Labrador Coast Observed in NOAA Satellite Imagery
Mesoscale Meanders NOAA Satellite Imagery Ice Edge
2009/1/8
NOAA satellite visible images exhibit two alternative ice-edge patterns off Labrador; one is a straight pattern, and the other is a large-meander pattern with alongshore wavelengths of 200–300 km and ...
Florida Current Meanders：A Close Look in June–July 1984
Florida Atlantic Coast Transport Study Florida Current Meanders
2009/1/7
During the Florida Atlantic Coast Transport Study (FACTS), the time and space scales of energetic fluctuations of the Florida Current were observed with current meter moorings and acoustically tracked...
A Model of Gulf Stream Frontal Instabilities, Meanders and Eddies along the Continental Slope
Gulf Stream Continental Slope
2009/1/5
For a simplified model of the Gulf Stream front along a vertical-walled continental slope of a constant-depth ocean basin, the dynamics governing frontal instabilities, meanders, and eddies depend pri...
Potential Vorticity Balances and Horizontal Divergence along Particle Trajectories in Gulf Stream Meanders East of Cape Hatteras
Potential Vorticity Balances Horizontal Divergence Particle Trajectories Gulf Stream
2009/1/5
Trajectories of 37 isopycnal RAFOS floats launched in the Gulf Stream off Cape Hatteras have been analyzed to examine the dynamics of meanders from a Lagrangian viewpoint. Using the float data in conj...
A Process Study of Mesoscale Meanders and Eddies in the Norwegian Coastal Current
Norwegian Coastal Current Mesoscale Meanders Norwegian Coastal Current
2008/12/30
A series of NOAA satellite images shows that the Norwegian Coastal Current (NCC) over the Norwegian Trench was disturbed by mesoscale meanders with 60–100 km wavelengths. In the first several days, th...
