Mean Surface Circulation of the Global Ocean Inferred from Satellite Altimeter and Drifter Data
Sea level anomaly from satellite altimetry and in situ near-surface drifter velocities, combined within a simplified equation of horizontal momentum, reveal peculiar dynamical balances in the strongest known currents of the World Ocean. In the Gulf Stream, this study demonstrates the importance of centrifugal force due to the curvature of the streamlines. After filtering out Ekman currents (usi...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Cheap, GPS-Based, Radio-Tracked, Surface Drifter for Closed Shallow-Water Bays
This paper describes the development of an inexpensive (~ $500), GPS-based, radio-tracked, surface-drifter system designed to operate within a closed shallow water bay. Texas bays and estuaries are generally shallow, weather/event driven, complex non-linear systems. In spite of the amount of activity that occurs within the bays, very little real-time information is collected. The Conrad Blucher...
متن کاملA comparison of GOCE and drifter-based estimates of the North Atlantic steady-state surface circulation
Over the last decade, due to the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission and, more recently, the Gravity and steady state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) mission, our ability to measure the ocean’s mean dynamic topography (MDT) from space has improved dramatically. Here we use GOCE to measure surface current speeds in the North Atlantic and compare our results with a range of ...
متن کاملA nested circulation model for the North Aegean Sea
A multi-nested approach has been employed for numerical simulations in the northern part of the Aegean Sea in the framework of the MFSTEP (Mediterranean Forecast System: Toward Environmental Predictions) project. The high resolution (∼1.6 km) hydrodynamic model of the North Aegean Sea (NAS) has been nested within a coarser model of the Eastern Mediterranean (resolution ∼3.6 km) which is also ne...
متن کاملSpurious trends in global surface drifter currents
The Global Drifter Program (GDP) has been measuring near-surface ocean currents with surface drifters since 1979. At least half of the World Ocean now has drifter velocity time series longer than 15 years. The availability of this data opens new opportunities to explore observationally how ocean circulation responds to changing surface forcing. In this paper we report evidence of an apparently ...
