Most of our understanding of the Earth's interior has been derived from measurements from
global seismic networks, although no network has ever been truly “global” because some …

The response of the ocean to fluctuating atmospheric pressure loads is reviewed in theory
and in observations. Major theoretical issues lie primarily with oceanic boundary reflectivity …

The north‐south heat transport is the prime manifestation of the ocean's role in global
climate, but understanding of its variability has been fragmentary owing to uncertainties in …

Energetic pressure fluctuations at periods longer than 30 s are a ubiquitous feature of
pressure spectra from instruments sited on the deep seafloor in both the Atlantic and the …

An analysis is made of the ensemble mean ageostrophic near-surface circulation measured
by 1503 Lagrangian drifters drogued to 15-m depth in the tropical Pacific between 1987 and …

The relation between large‐scale sea level variability and ocean circulation is studied using
a numerical model. A global primitive equation model of the ocean is forced by daily winds …

Three years of TOPEX/POSEIDON altimeter data are analyzed with respect to large‐scale
fluctuations in sea surface height observations and underlying physical processes. In …

Publisher Summary Satellite altimetry has made a unique contribution to observing and
understanding ocean currents and eddies, which stems from its excellent space–time …

The authors have quality controlled six global datasets of drifting buoy data, made
comparisons of 15-m drogued and undrogued buoy observations, and developed a 2D …
