dc.description.abstract | During 1975 several shipboard expendable bathythermograph surveys plus satellite infrared imagery
provided a nearly synoptic view of the distribution and number of Gulf Stream rings in the western North
Atlantic. Twelve rings were identified; nine were cyclonic (cold core) rings and three were anticyclonic
(warm core) rings. This is the largest number of rings ever observed during a short period of time (4
months). Evidence suggests that the mean movement of these rings was southwestward. | en_US | | |
