The Mean Upper-Layer Flow in the Central Gulf of Mexico by a New Method

Previous studies have found a puzzling disagreement between two large datasets and the results of numerical models in the central Gulf of Mexico. The observations suggest an upper-layer mean flow to the west of order 10 cm s −1 , while the numerical models find no such mean flow. A new technique is...
