Comparison Study of Subtropical Mode Waters in the World Ocean
Subtropical ModeWater (STMW) is a distinctive feature of the upper ocean in the western part of subtropical gyres in the world ocean. This paper proposes a common criterion of STMW to quantify and compare spatial structures of STMWs in different basins. STMW can be defined as a thermostad (a layer weakly stratified in temperature) by applying a criterion of averaged core layer temperature (CLT)...
متن کاملContinental Runoff and Effects on the North Atlantic Ocean Subtropical Mode Water
Interannual salinity variations in North Atlantic Subtropical Mode Water (STMW) are well known although the cause is less well understood. Attempts to model local salinity variation with local evaporation and precipitation have not been successful and some authors invoke advection of low salinity water as the cause. Examination of the STMW and North American river runoff data suggests that runo...
متن کاملTemporal variability of excess nitrate in the subtropical mode water of the North Atlantic Ocean
A dichotomy exists between rates of nitrogen fixation directly measured by biological techniques, and rates inferred from the geochemical distributions of excess nitrate within the thermocline of the North Atlantic Ocean. Part of the dichotomy relates to the temporal and spatial uncoupling between the event (i.e., nitrogen fixation by diazotrophs) and signal (i.e., excess nitrate (DINxs) in the...
متن کاملMode-1 internal tides in the western North Atlantic Ocean
Mode-1 internal tides were observed the western North Atlantic using an ocean acoustic tomography array deployed in 1991–1992 centered on 251N, 661W. The pentagonal array, 700-km across, acted as an antenna for mode-1 internal-tides. Coherent internal-tide waves with O(1m) displacements were observed traveling in several directions. Although the internal tides of the region were relatively quie...
متن کاملRejoinder to: Influence of river discharge in the tropical and subtropical North Atlantic Ocean
We would like to start this response to the comment of Cotrim da Cunha et al. (2007, 2009) by thanking them for the time and effort they spent analyzing our published manuscript (Tovar-Sanchez et al. 2006). Although Cotrim da Cunha et al. recognized the validity of our new comprehensive data set that includes the first simultaneous measurements of metals in aerosols and in field populations of ...
