For the aerosols, we used the total optical depth derived from Multifilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer measurements taken by Michalsky and Harrison(a). Values for single scattering albedo and asymmetry factor are taken to be 0.965; 0.680 for UV and visible regions and 0.855; 0.540 for the near-IR region (D’Almeida et al. 1991). Because of a lack of information on the vertical distribution, w...

Observations of abyssal currents off eastern New Zealand are compared to results from the Los Alamos National Ž . Laboratory LANL global ocean circulation model. Physical oceanographic measurements are few along the 6000-km long path of the abyssal flow so they are supplemented by geological data including bottom photographs, nephelometer profiles, sediment analyses, and high resolution seismic...
