Eulerian measurements of the North Atlantic Deep Water deep western boundary current at 18 degree S

An 18-month time series of moored current meter observations near 18degreeS in the Atlantic is used to study the deep western boundary current (DWBC) of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). This flow is taken to extend from about the shelf break seaward about 200 km and downward from the sigma2=36.7 is...

Zusammenfassung:An 18-month time series of moored current meter observations near 18degreeS in the Atlantic is used to study the deep western boundary current (DWBC) of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW). This flow is taken to extend from about the shelf break seaward about 200 km and downward from the sigma2=36.7 isopycnal (at about 1200-m depth) to the sigma4=45.8 isopycnal (at about 3600-m depth).
