Book excerpt: The principal objective of the Gulf Stream Meanders Experiment was to kinematically and dynamically describe the nature of meanders. The upper continental slope region off Onslow Bay, North Carolina was choosen for the experiment site because several previous investigations in that area provided a baseline data set giving some ideas about time and space variability scales within and a several-month mean view of the Stream (Webster, 1961a, b; Richardson, et al., 1969). In addition, earlier observations ranging from reports in centuries-old ship logs to recent satellite infrared imagery made it apparent that Gulf Stream meandering was more intense between Charleston and Cape Hatteras than elsewhere in the South Atlantic Bight. Current, sea level, and atmospheric data from the Gulf Stream region off North Carolina for the period January - May 1979 are documented in this data report.

Book excerpt: This report documents hydrographic data collected during two cruises in R/V Endeavor in 1979: EN-040 (2-8 Aug) and EN-045 (16-23 Nov). The hydrographic data from two additional cruises during the first 1979 field phase of the project are documented in a separate report. The hydrographic measurements were made in support of a moored instrument program. The data from the moored instruments (primarily current meters) are reported in separate data reports for the winter and summer 1979 field phases. The objective of the hydrographic program was to vertically and horizontally map the temperature and salinity fields of the Gulf Stream, hopefully as a meander passed through the moored instrument array. The hydrographic measurements were made in conjunction with mooring deployment and recovery operations. The data reported here were collected with a Plessey 9040 STD system attached to a Niskin rosette sampler equipped with Niskin sample bottles and reversing thermometers. In addition, many temperature profiles were made with a Sippican XBT System. Surface bucket samples were taken at most stations. Beyond the presentation of contoured fields of certain derived hydrographic quantities the data are not analyzed. Interpretation of the data is not provided here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now well known that the mid-ocean flow is almost everywhere domi nated by so-called synoptic or meso-scale eddies, rotating about nearly vertical axes and extending throughout the water column. A typical mid ocean horizontal scale is 100 km and a time scale is 100 days: these meso scale eddies have swirl speeds of order 10 cm s -1 which are usually con siderably greater than the long-term average flow. Many types of eddies with somewhat different scales and characteristics have been identified. The existence of such eddies was suspected by navigators more than a century ago and confirmed by the world of C. O'D. Iselin and V. B. Stock man in the 1930's. Measurements from RIV Aries in 1959/60, using the then newly developed neutrally buoyant floats, indicated the main char acteristics of the eddies in the deep ocean of the NW Atlantic while a se ries of Soviet moored current-meter arrays culminated, in POLYGON- 1970, in the explicit mapping of an energetic anticyclonic eddy in the tropical NE Atlantic. In 1973 a large collaborative (mainly U. S. , U. K. ) program, MODE-I, produced synoptic charts for an area of the NW At lantic and confirmed the existence of an open ocean eddy field and es tablished its characteristics. Meso-scale eddies are now known to be of interest and importance to marine chemists and biologists as well as to physical oceanographers and meteorologists.

This book was released on 2010-04-23 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this book is to introduce new researchers to the rich dynamical system of water waves, and to show how (some) abstract mathematical concepts can be applied fruitfully in a practical physical problem and to make the connection between theory and experiment. It provides a coherent set of lectures on the current status of water wave theory, including identification of some open problems.

Book excerpt: I DENTIFIERS: CRAWFORD Cruise 18. CRAWFORD Cruise 18 was undertaken in May and June 1958, with the purpose of studying the structure of Gulf Stream meanders off Onslow Bay, North Carolina. This was done by succ ssive crossings of the axis of the current by the research vessel CRAWFORD. During the cruise, 120 crossings were completed. The data collected on that cruise are presented. Included are some results of an analysis of the data. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Gulf Stream Meanders Experiment (GSME) was conducted off North Carolina in 1979. Instruments were moored in the Stream over the 200 m and 400 m isoabaths on the continental slope for two 4-month periods, one in the winter and one in the summer. In both seasons, the downstream current speed typically fluctuated between -50 cm/s and +100cm/s about a 30 cm/s mean. The velocity, temperature, and salinity fluctuations had a prominent 7- to 10-day period in the winter, and a less prominent 5- to 7-day period in the summer. The fluctuations, which were nearly in-phase vertically and propagated down-stream at approx. 40 km/d, apparently resulted from lateral, wavelike excursions or meanders of the Gulf Stream front, as first described by Webster (1961a). The observed structure is complicated along the shoreward edge of the Stream, where shallow surface filaments of warm water often trail southwestward from meander crests. The warm filaments are usually separated from the Stream by a band of cool surface water, which is a manifestation of deeper uplifting or upwelling associated with the meander process. Strong cyclonic circulation around the uplifted cool water pool is a characteristic feature of meanders. In both seasons, the leading term in the energy equation indicated that part of the fluctuation kinetic energy was converted to mean Stream kinetic energy, with an implied doubling time of a few weeks. Direct forcing by the wind was found to be ineffective during the GSME. The seasonal persistence of meanders in the GSME area thus indicates an upstream source of their kinetic energy. (Author).
