| 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 | ||

A comparison of cross-stream velocities and Gulf Stream translations utilizing in-situ and remotely-sensed data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1988-09)In previous Gulf Stream work (Hall and Bryden, 1985, Hall, 1985, 198GA, 198GB), a decomposition of multiple depth current records was developed which produced along- and cross-stream components. The cross-stream component ... -
