| Any space-based observation and forecasting system is critically dependent upon in-situ ocean data, since satellites can only sense ocean properties at or very near the sea surface. 1n contrast, in-situ platforms such as Argo Floats provide the inside view of the ocean. However, despite the impressive increase in the number of temperature and salinity profiles from the Argo array, in-situ data still undersample the temporal and spatial variability of the ocean thermohaline structure. Mersea will contribute to the Argo program by filling this gap... [NOT CONTROLLED OCR] |

| A 1/6degrees resolution primitive equation model of the Atlantic circulation is analyzed in the Agulhas region. The model has a realistic level of eddy kinetic energy, and produces anticyclonic Agulhas rings as well as cyclonic structures. In the model as well as in the data, ring trajectories undergo a transition between a turbulent character in the Cape Basin and a steady propagation in the rest of the South Atlantic. The topography of the Walvis Ridge does not seem to play a part in generating this contrast in the model. The model shows that cyclones are primarily generated from the negative shear vorticity side of the Agulhas Current as it leaves the coast, and they are most of the time paired with anticyclones in dipolar or tripolar structures.... |
