Dipole rings and vortex interactions of the Brazil Current
A reexamination of satellite-derived sea surface temperature imagery reveals many examples of Brazil Current rings, both warm and cold, in dipole configurations. The dynamical significance of the dipole model is established by considering the interaction of a cold (cyclonic) eddy with a warm (anticyclonic) ring. The ring is shown to exist as a dipole for about 60 days, or two rotation periods b...

متن کاملTOPEX microwave radiometer performance evaluation, 1992-1998
The stability and accuracy of the TOPEX Microwave Radiometer (TMR) measurement of the atmospheric path delay due to water vapor is assessed over the interval from launch (August 1992) through June 1998. Detailed global comparisons are made with path delays derived from the special sensor microwave imager (SSM/I) instruments and a network of 15 island radiosondes. The results provide consistent ...

Using national survey data, we examine propensities to classify under either of these terms and how educational level, age, sex and local racial composition structure their choice. We find, for example, that low education is positively correla...
