Hydrographic Surveys of Eddy Yucatan and of the Adjacent Continental Margin ofthe Northern Gulf of Mexico, 9-14 October and 19-24 November 1994

摘要

The Loop Current shed an anticyclonic eddy named 'Eddy Yucatan' in late summer1994. In mid-September 1994, during an XBT survey of this new warm-core ring by the Eddy Joint Industry Program, it was marked with an Argos-tracked drifter. Data from this drifter, which were posted once each week by the LATEX Eddy program to Omnet's Gulf. MEX bulletin board, allowed the location of eddy center to be tracked. TAMU Tech Support Services Group was afforded the opportunity to sample its northern perimeter in mid-October and again in mid-November 1994. XBT data into and back from the center of Eddy Yucatan was collected during the R/V Powell cruise 94P-12.
