Meridional sections of upper ocean zonal currents, potential temperature, and salinity are
estimated at ten longitudes from 143° E to 95° W using Conductivity–Temperature–Depth …

An improved mixed layer model, based on second‐moment closure of turbulence and
suitable for application to oceanic and atmospheric mixed layers, is described. The model is …

Tropical surface currents are estimated from satellite‐derived surface topography and wind
stress using a physically based statistical model calibrated by 15 m drogue drifters. The …

IN the equatorial Pacific Ocean, easterly trade winds and the Earth's rotation combine to
drive surface currents away from the Equator, thereby causing cold nutrient-rich subsurface …

An upper-ocean vortex associated with tropical instabilities was observed during fall 1990 at
140° W in the shear region between the Pacific South Equatorial Current and the North …

The flow of thermocline water from the subtropical to the equatorial Pacific Ocean is
investigated using a 2½-layer numerical model. In this system, the lower of the two active …

The Sverdrup circulation in the tropical Pacific is constructed from satellite scatterometer
winds, compared with measured ocean currents, and diagnosed in an ocean GCM. Previous …

Three numerical experiments have been carried out with a global coupled ice‐ocean model
to investigate its sensitivity to the treatment of vertical mixing in the upper ocean. In the first …
