Ventilation of the upper ocean plays an important role in climate variability on interannual to decadal timescales by influencing the exchange of heat and carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and ocean. The turbulent nature of ocean circulation, manifest in a vigorous mesoscale eddy field, means that pathways of ventilation, once thought to be quasi-laminar, are in fact highly chaotic. We characterize the chaotic nature of ventilation pathways according to a nondimensional filamentation number, which estimates the reduction in filament width of a ventilated fluid parcel due to mesoscale strain. In the subtropical North Atlantic of an eddy-permitting ocean model, the filamentation number is large everywhere across three upper ocean density... |

The vertical thermohaline and biogeochemical structures of the upper layer (0 - 200 m) were studied in the Gulf of Tadjourah using high-resolution hydrographic data collected in July-August 2013, September 2013 and February 2014. During summer, the superficial layer consisted of the mixed layer (ML) extending to a depth of about 20 - 30 m followed by the thermocline located between 30 and 50 m depth. The ML was thicker in the west and the southeast where the thermal gradient and chlorophyll a concentrations were particularly high. During September, this stratification persisted but the ML became warmer and saltier and the thermocline moved slightly deeper. In February, the ML extended to about 120 m, and the thermocline was less pronounced. A comparison of... |

Se revisa la estructura térmica de dos estaciones costeras del Ecuador ubicadas frente a los puertos de Salinas y Manta y se las compara con la boya oceánica de la NOAA, localizada en 0° y 140°W (Región Niño 3.4). Cada una de las tres estaciones tiene una isoterma característic que marca el inicio y fin de los eventos cálidos y fríos. Se advierte además que los eventos ENOS cuyo ONI es igual o superior que 1.8, considerados como fuertes o extraordinarios presentan una configuración termal muy similar en las tres estaciones aquí analizadas. |

Seismic Oceanography is coming of age as an established technique of observation of the thermohaline structure of the ocean. The present paper deals with the seismic reflectivity of the Armorican Shelf seasonal thermocline, west of France, based on two seismic experiments performed with a sparker source. The peak frequency was 500 Hz for the ASPEX experiment, where the thermocline was located at 27 m water depth, and reduced to 400 Hz associated to a higher source level for the IFOSISMO experiment, where the thermocline was 12 m deeper. Despite this settings, only the first experiment could clearly highlight the thermocline reflector, providing the first seismic observation of a shallow oceanic structure. To better understand the limitation of... |

Del 9 al 21 de marzo de 2010, se realizó el Crucero T10/03/01 durante el cual se efectuaron 10 lances de pesca entre 01º21.39' N-03º 02.55' S y entre las longitudes 080º 32.20' W-082º 57.08' W, empleando un palangre de superficie doradero. En los lances realizados frente a Esmeraldas y Manabí, se registraron las mayores capturas, con especímenes con mayor talla y peso promedio, con una temperatura superficial promedio de 27 ºC y termoclina ubicada entre los 10 y 50 m de profundidad con la isoterma de 20 ºC, próxima a la profundidad de cala de la línea de pesca. Hacia el sur (lances 7 al 10), ubicados frente al sur de Manabí, Península de Santa Elena y Golfo de Guayaquil. Las capturas estuvieron representadas por especímenes con talla y peso promedio... |

The depth of equatorial Pacific thermocline is diagnostic of the main modes of tropical climates. Past estimates of Pacific thermocline dynamics have been reconstructed either for the Last Glacial Maximum or on longer timescales at low resolution. Here we document a new high-resolution set of reconstructed past sea surface and subsurface waters temperatures from the southwestern subequatorial Pacific, core MD05-2930, in the Gulf of Papua, over the last 800 ka. We used two morphotypes of Globigerinoides ruber known to live at different water depths to reconstruct past stratification. We estimated calcification temperature of each morphotypes by Mg/Ca paleothermometry. Our subequatorial Pacific thermocline paleotemperature record indicates a response of the... |
