Mixed Layer Instabilities and frontogenesis’s seasonality in the Gulf Stream Region
Dynamics of motions on long spatial scales, that are strongly affected by rotation and stratification, is in first approximation described by the balance of buoyancy and Coriolis forces. In this regime, the dynamics is nearly two dimensional and energy flows from short to large scales. In contrast, the regime of weak stratification and rotation is dominated by viscosity and advection, and the f...
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 کاملObservations of Boundary Mixing Over the Continental Slope
Towed-body observations of mixing over the continental slope reveal the great lateral extent (several km) of continuously turbulent fluid within a few hundred meters of the boundary at 1600 m depth. The largest turbulent dissipation rates were observed over a 5 km horizontal region near a slope critical to the M2 internal tide. Averaged over a submarine landslide oriented perpendicularly to the...
