    The history and decay of a Mediterranean salt lens (1988)

    Notes: [Auszug] The life of Meddies is of interest to oceanographers for at least two different reasons. One reason for tracking Meddies is to assess their role in the lateral dispersion of heat and salt2'7'8. The high-salinity Mediterranean outflow spreads into the North Atlantic to form a 'tongue' which can be ...

    Mediterranean Water: An Intense Mesoscale Eddy off the Bahamas (1978)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1978-12-08
    Description: An anticyclonic lens of water in the permanent thermocline off the Bahamas has water mass characteristics representing Mediterranean and eastern Atlantic central waters. This eddy's ability to translate across the Atlantic without losing its identity points to baroclinic eddies as a specific mechanism for large-scale mixing.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉McDowell, S E -- Rossby, H T -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Dec 8;202(4372):1085-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17777959" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre: SOFAR Floats Tracked by Moored Listening Stations (1981)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1981-07-24
    Description: In 1980, SOFAR (sound fixing and ranging) floats were tracked acoustically in the western North Atlantic entirely by means of moored autonomous listening stations. During a 5-month period 17 float trajectories were obtained in the eastern (45 degrees to 65 degrees W) Gulf Stream and subtropical gyre interior at depths of 700 and 2000 meters. These mid-depth trajectories suggest a time-varying Gulf Stream with instances of both a narrow, swift, westward recirculation south of the stream and a northeastward penetration into the Newfoundland Basin. A hundredfold increase of eddy kinetic energy was observed at 2000 meters from the gyre interior (south of 30 degrees N) to the Gulf Stream.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Richardson, P L -- Price, J F -- Owens, W B -- Schmitz, W J -- Rossby, H T -- Bradley, A M -- Valdes, J R -- Webb, D C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1981 Jul 24;213(4506):435-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17760187" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Subsurface circulation in the somali current (1980)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1980-08-01
    Description: Direct velocity measurements were made at intermediate depths along the East African coast from March to July 1979. Strong time-dependent flows with multiple reversals in direction were found in the upper 1000 meters between 3 degrees N and 4 degrees S. At 700 meters, there may be a connection between the southwestward coastal current and an equatorial jet observed at 49 degrees E, the latter turning south near the coast. North of 3 degrees N little spatial organization of the flow can be recognized.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Leetmaa, A -- Rossby, H T -- Saunders, P M -- Wilson, P -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1980 Aug 1;209(4456):590-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17756839" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Directly measured mid-depth circulation in the northeastern North Atlantic Ocean (2002)
    Nature Publishing Group
    In:  Nature, 419 . pp. 603-607.
    Details
    Publication Date: 2017-03-07
    Description: The circulation of water masses in the northeastern North Atlantic Ocean has a strong influence on global climate owing to the northward transport of warm subtropical water to high latitudes1. But the ocean circulation at depths below the reach of satellite observations is difficult to measure, and only recently have comprehensive, direct observations of whole ocean basins been possible2, 3, 4. Here we present quantitative maps of the absolute velocities at two levels in the northeastern North Atlantic as obtained from acoustically tracked floats. We find that most of the mean flow transported northward by the Gulf Stream system at the thermocline level (about 600 m depth) remains within the subpolar region, and only relatively little enters the Rockall trough or the Nordic seas. Contrary to previous work5, 6, our data indicate that warm, saline water from the Mediterranean Sea reaches the high latitudes through a combination of narrow slope currents and mixing processes. At both depths under investigation, currents cross the Mid-Atlantic Ridge preferentially over deep gaps in the ridge, demonstrating that sea-floor topography can constrain even upper-ocean circulation patterns.
