Analysis of the current data gathered near Bermuda during the period 1959–1960, shows, in
terms of a two‐layer model, that 78% of the kinetic energy is in the barotropic mode. The …

Phillips (1966) considered a linear, barotropic, nondivergent model driven by time‐
dependent winds in an attempt to explain the Aries observations. He found that the model …

From moored data, primarily temperature, of the Mid‐Ocean Dynamics Experiment (Mode I)
and its successor experiments we find a statistical description of the mesoscale variability. In …

Abstract From September 1980 through May 1983 a series of nineteen sections of velocity
profiles were obtained across the Gulf Stream 200 km northeast of Cape Hatteras. By …

Long term current measurements from Polymode Array 2 are analyzed using the technique
of empirical orthogonal functions applied in the frequency domain. The region of especially …

In the western boundary current of Bryan and Cox's model ocean, a regularly spaced series
of eddies grow, move northwards and decay. A qualitative dynamical explanation of this …

The structure of velocity in New York Bight (NYB) is examined for motions in the low
frequency meteorological band (periods greater than 3 days) and for those in the …

Abstract The low-frequency [ω< 0.5 cycle per day (cpd)] current fluctuations at four depths in
100 m of waterhave been investigated for two stations on the continental shelf off the coast …

Abstract Analysis of a two-layer, flat-bottom, steady-wind driven, eddy-resolving general
circulation model reveals a distinct separation in frequency of baroclinic and barotropic …

The response of the horizontal velocity field to forcing by the local wind was observed in the
upper 150 m of the ocean by profiling with vector measuring current meters from the …
