Journal ArticleDOI
Observations of the Mindanao Current during the western equatorial Pacific Ocean circulation study
Roger Lukas,Eric Firing,Peter Hacker,Philip L. Richardson,Curtis A. Collins,Rana A. Fine,Richard H. Gammon +6 more
TL;DR: The Western Equatorial Pacific Ocean Circulation Study (WEPOCS) III was conducted from June 18 through July 31, 1988, to observe the low-latitude western boundary circulation there, with emphasis on the Mindanao Current.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dispersal of the Amazon's water
TL;DR: For example, NASA's Coastal Zone Color Scanner and with drifting buoys revealed that the discharge of the Amazon is carried offshore around a retroflection of the North Brazil Current and into the North Equatorial Countercurrent towards Africa between June and January each year as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two Years in the Life of a Mediterranean Salt Lens
Laurence Armi,Dave Hebert,Neil S. Oakey,James F. Price,Philip L. Richardson,H. Thomas Rossby,Barry Ruddick +6 more
TL;DR: A lens of Mediterranean water (Meddy) was tracked in the eastern North Atlantic for two years with SOFAR floats as mentioned in this paper, moving in an irregular pattern, at speeds of a few cm s−1, and translated 1100 km to the south in two years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eddy kinetic energy in the North Atlantic from surface drifters
TL;DR: One hundred ten satellite-tracked freely drifting buoys measured velocities and trajectories of the near-surface currents in the North Atlantic as discussed by the authors, and a horizontal map of eddy kinetic energy was prepared on a 2°×2° grid between latitudes 20° and 55°N.
Journal ArticleDOI
A census of Meddies tracked by floats
TL;DR: In this paper, subsurface float measurements in 27 Mediterranean Water eddies (Meddies) in the Atlantic are grouped together to reveal new information about the pathways of these energetic eddies and how they are often modified and possibly destroyed by collisions with seamounts.
