4 The Gulf Stream System
N. P. Fofonoff In the two decades since the first publication of Stommel's (1965) monograph on the Gulf Stream, our knowledge of the Gulf Stream System has been expanded dramatically through the development and application of new, powerful measuring techniques. Multiple ship surveys of the type organized by Fuglister (1963) provided the first systematic descriptions of the spatial structure bet...
متن کاملA cloud line over the Gulf Stream
[1] A 1000 km long cloud-line over the major axis of the Gulf Stream was detected in imagery from a number of satellites on April 24, 2001. Analysis of environmental conditions shows that such a cloud-line is formed when the synoptic low-level wind is parallel to the Gulf Stream axis and the sky is clear, conditions that rarely occur in the hightemperature and high-moisture Gulf Stream region. ...
متن کاملA novel mechanism for salt and fluid transport across epithelia.
Some salt transporting epithelia can absorb inorganic ions from extremely low external concentrations. Salt depleted frogs, for example, can absorb sodium ions from freshwater at concentrations down to o-oi mM (Krogh, 1939) while freshwater mosquito larvae can maintain haemolymph sodium at 30 mM in external media containing as little as 1-55 x 10-3 mM sodium (Stobbart, 1974). The ability of the...
متن کاملA “ cold path ” for the Gulf Stream – troposphere connection
The mechanism by which the Gulf Stream sea surface temperature (SST) front anchors a band of precipitation on its warm edge is still a matter of debate, and little is known about how synoptic activity contributes to the mean state. In the present study, the influence of the SST front on precipitation is investigated during the course of a single extratropical cyclone using a regional configurat...
متن کاملMechanism of ion transport across bilayer membranes
Introduction The facilitated transport of ions and polar molecules across biological membranes is essential for normal cell function and is also a major objective in the rapidly growing field of drug delivery. Researchers strive to simulate naturally occurring channel-forming proteins or carrier molecules. The resultant compounds may utilize endogenous peptide sequences or may be novel organic ...
