A study of geostrophy in tropical Pacific Ocean currents during the NORPAX Tahiti shuttle using a shipboard Doppler acoustic current profiler

Continuous velocity measurements from a shipboard Doppler acoustic log on the NORPAX shuttle experiment in the central equatorial Pacific are presented. The time mean of these velocities shows the classical zonal equatorial currents as well as their meridional circulation. The velocities are used wi...
