Ocean circulationAbstract
The success of this summer's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Program owes much to
Myrl Hendershott's excellent and engaging survey of the Oceans General Circulation,
including recent developments In the Theory of Recirculation Gyres and Thermocline
Ventilation.

On the world ocean circulation. Volume I, some global features/North Atlantic circulation
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1996-06)This is the first volume of a "final report" that summarizes, often in a speculative vein, what I have learned over the past 35 years or so about large-scale, low-frequency ocean currents, primarily with support from the ... -
Oceanic fluxes of mass, heat, and freshwater : a global estimate and perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1995-08)Data from fifteen globally distributed, modern, high resolution, hydrographic oceanic transects are combined in an inverse calculation using large scale box models. The models provide estimates of the global meridional ... -
