Role of Gulf Stream Frontal Eddies in Forming Phytoplankton Patches on the Outer Southeastern Shelf
Continuous surface mapping of temperature, salinity, and chlorophyll along a 300-km segment of the Gulf Stream cyclonic front defined the spatial scales of a large diatom patch that persisted throughout a 10-day study. The patch was localized in the upwelled cold core of a Gulf Stream frontal eddy centered over the 200-m isobath off Jacksonville, Florida, in April 1979. The 2 μg· liter1 surface...
متن کاملTeddies: Trained Eddies for Reactive Stream Processing
In this paper, we present an adaptive stream query processor, Teddies, that combines the key advantages of the Eddies system with the scalability of the more traditional dataflow model. In particular, we introduce the notion of adaptive packetization of tuples to overcome the large memory requirements of the Eddies system. The Teddies optimizer groups tuples with the same history into data pack...
متن کاملEquilibration of Baroclinic Meanders and Deep Eddies in a Gulf Stream - type Jet over a Sloping Bottom
Spatio-temporal evolution of a small localized meander on a Gulf Stream-type baroclinically unstable jet over a topographic slope is investigated numerically using a threedimensional, primitive equation model. An unperturbed jet is prescribed by a potential vorticity front in the upper thermocline overlaying intermediate layers with weak isentropic potential vorticity gradients and a quiscent b...
متن کامل4 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 کاملMesoscale eddies dominate surface phytoplankton in northern Gulf of Alaska
The HNLC waters of the Gulf of Alaska normally receive too little iron for primary productivity to draw down silicate and nitrate in surface waters, even in spring and summer. Our observations of chlorophyll sensed by SeaWiFS north of 54 N in pelagic waters (>500 m depth) of the gulf found that, on average, more than half of all surface chlorophyll was inside the 4 cm contours of anticyclonic m...
