Profile of an Isopycnal Surface in the Main Thermocline of the Sargasso Sea
Isopycnal Surface Main Thermocline Sargasso Sea
2009/4/2
The vertical displacement and slope of an isopycnal surface (by which is meant a density surface of constant σt) are described spatially. The data were acquired by towing pressure, temperature and con...
A Two-Dimensional Diabatic Isopycnal Model—Simulating the Coastal Upwelling Front
Coastal Upwelling Front Two-Dimensional Diabatic Isopycnal Model—Simulating
2009/2/9
A two-dimensional diabatic isopycnal model is designed to study coastal upwelling. The diabatic effect is represented by vertical mixing of the density field. Vertical eddy coefficients are determined...
The Relative Roles of Diapycnal and Isopycnal Mixing on Subsurface Water Mass Conversion
Isopycnal Mixing Fluid motion Subsurface Water Mass Conversion
2009/1/21
Fluid motion in the sea is known to occur predominantly along quasi-horizontal neutral surfaces but the very small diapycnal (i.e., across isopycnal) velocities often make a significant contribution t...
Gulf Stream Kinematics along an Isopycnal Float Trajectory
Gulf Stream Kinematics Isopycnal Float Trajectory
2009/1/12
An isopycnal-following float was deployed near the 400 m depth level in the high speed jet region of the Gulf Stream and tracked for approximately 300 km from the Blake Plateau towards Cape Hatteras d...
The Relationship between Vertical, Diapycnal, and Isopycnal Velocity and Mixing in the Ocean General Circulation
Ocean General Circulation vertical velocity diapycnal velocity
2009/1/10
On ocean general circulation scales, vertical velocity w is extremely small, O(10−5) smaller than the horizontal velocity in scale. Nevertheless, it is of great importance to advective–diffusive...
Strain:Observations of the Vertical Gradient of Isopycnal Vertical Displacement
probability density function Isopycnal Vertical Displacement
2008/12/23
In this work a profiling CTD, operated from the research platform FLIP, is used to monitor the fine-scale density field as a function of both depth and time. A sequence of 10 000 CTD profiles from the...

Atlantic Circulation Sea Ice-Mixed Layer-Isopycnal General Circulation Model
2008/12/18
An ocean general circulation model (OGCM) formulated on isopycnal coordinates is used to model the circulation of the Atlantic. The model domain is bounded meridionally at 30°S and the North Pole and ...

Atlantic Circulation Sea Ice-Mixed Layer-Isopycnal General Circulation Model
2008/12/18
A diabatic ocean general circulation model based on primitive equations is described. It uses isopycnals as Lagrangian coordinates in the vertical and predicts a free surface. Prognostic fields of tem...
Isopycnal Momentum Budget of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the Fine Resolution Antarctic Model
Antarctic Circumpolar Current Fine Resolution Antarctic Model
2008/12/16
The momentum budget of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is analyzed using data from the Fine Resolution Antarctic Model (FRAM), using density as a vertical coordinate, since density is approxim...

Cape Verde Frontal Zone Atlantic Central Waters eastern North Atlantic
2008/12/12
The Cape Verde Frontal Zone separates the North and the South Atlantic Central Waters in the eastern North Atlantic. It also represents the boundary between the ventilated subtropical gyre and the qua...
