Gyre-scale Circulation and Coupling in the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans

I proposed to examine the annual cycle of intensity, latitudinal position and amount of meandering in the Gulf Stream, and compare the altimetric cycle with seasonal transport estimates from hydrographic data. We also proposed to examine large-scale fluctuations which alter the strength and location...

Summary:I proposed to examine the annual cycle of intensity, latitudinal position and amount of meandering in the Gulf Stream, and compare the altimetric cycle with seasonal transport estimates from hydrographic data. We also proposed to examine large-scale fluctuations which alter the strength and location of the currents at gyre boundaries in the North Pacific.
