Flow of Deep and Bottom Waters in the Pacific at 10 deg N. (Reannouncement withNew Availability Information)

摘要

Flow of Lower Circumpolar Water and North Pacific Deep Water is described in thePacific at 10 deg N primarily using a recent trans-Pacific CTD/O2 section. Water-mass properties are used to define boundaries at potential isotherms for these two water masses. In turn, zero-velocity surfaces are set at different potential isotherms in each ocean basin along 10 deg N, their selection guided by the water-mass properties and the thermal wind field. These surfaces are then applied to estimate transport for of the water masses.
