ABSTRACT This work presents turbulence data collected in the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to quantify the source or sources of turbulent dissipation along the continental shelf and any possible causes for its seasonal change. In addition...
It has been suggested in older and recent literature that a broad deep eastern boundary flow is linking the equatorial Pacific Ocean to the Southern Ocean. The depth range of this flow corresponds to the Pacific Deep Water (2500m) where...
Large amplitude internal waves are a long recognized feature of the South China Sea. Remote sensing imagery often shows the sea-surface manifestation of these waves as they radiate from the Luzon passage into the deep water of the South...
Lagged correlation of dynamic height from the gappy California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigation (CalCOFI) with monthly San Diego sea level for the period 1949-2001 shows that the dynamic height propagates westward at 4.10 cm/s...
Direct observation of velocities with drifting floats near 1500m depth in the North Atlantic Ocean north of about 45 N are combined to derive a new basin-wide mean circulation within the layer of Labrador Sea Water. Inverse methods are...
Climatologists have been paying much attention to the question of how the climate of the northern hemisphere would change if the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Cell (AMOC) were to slow down. Since less heat would be released to the...
This dissertation presents an experimental study of the buoyancy fluxes produced by salt fingers in the presence of a laminar shear flow. An annular tank was used in the experiments. Sugar and salt were used as the diffusing components....
Recent proxies analysis suggest that, at the end of the last glacial, there was a significant increase in the injection of Agulhas rings into the South Atlantic (SA). This brought about a dramatic increase in the salt-influx (from the...
Laboratory experiments were conducted on a double-diffusive fluid with components of dissolved salt and sucrose contained within a porous medium of nearly spherical glass beads. The fluid is stabilized by the faster diffuser (Sa) and...
