    • Eddy diffusion in the Antarctic intermediate water 
      Kirwan, Albert Dennis (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1964)
      In this paper the use of an eddy diffusivity tensor in the conservation of salt equation is investigated from two points of view. First it is found that the order of tensor assumed specifies the amount of information that ...
    • On the variability of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current 
      Peterson, Ray George (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)
      A time series of net transport during 1979 of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the upper 2500 m of Drake Passage was obtained as part of the International Southern Ocean Studies by Whitworth (1983), and was presented ...
    • Vertical structure of the low-frequency currents at Drake Passage 
      Inoue, Masamich (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)
      Recently collected hydrographic data show that each of the four water mass zones previously identified in Drake Passage is characterized by a distinctly different vertical profile of Brunt-Vaisala frequency. Stratification ...
    • The wind-forced response of the Southern Ocean 
      Johnson, Mark Andrew (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)
      In an analysis of satellite-tracked drifting surface buoys released in the Southern Ocean, buoy velocities are averaged for 90 days. The averaged velocity vectors show circulation that generally agrees with views of the ...
    • Zonation and geostrophic flow in Drake Passage 
      Whitworth, Thomas (Texas A&M University. Libraries, )
      The Antarctic Circumpolar Current in Drake Passage comprises four regimes which are characterized by distinct temperature-salinity relationships in the near-surface waters and by different depths of common temperature-salinity ...
