Basin-scale ocean circulation from combined altimetric, tomographic and model data

Article Abstract:

Modelling alone cannot provide a comprehensive understanding of ocean circulation and its transport properties. High-quality acoustic-tomographic and altimetric data can be used to test the combined power of satellite altimetry and acoustic tomography for estimating oceanic flows. A detailed spatio-temporal record of flow over basin-scale volumes of fluid can be recovered from acoustic-tomographic and altimetric data using state-of-the-art numerical models.

Improved estimates of global ocean circulation, heat transport and mixing from hydrographic data

Article Abstract:

A new study uses data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment and other climatological and biogeochemical information to improve estimates of physical circulation in the world's oceans.

Moon, tides and climate

Article Abstract:

Observational research suggests that much of the energy of ocean tides is dispersed in the deep ocean, rather than by friction in the shallow coastal seas as previously believed.
