Surface currents from AVHRR image sequences 25 May 2006 | 02:14 pm

The vectors plotted above show surface velocity computed from AVHRR imagery by the method of Maximum Cross Correlations for a 2-day period centered on May 18, 2006. The MCC surface velocities show st...

Untitled 22 May 2006 | 12:52 am

May 21: The big warm core ring near 69.5W continues to be shaved off by the Gulf Stream meander, further reducing its size to that of a normal ring. That small warm eddy at the shelf break near 72.W w...

Origins of the Great Red Spot of the Slope Sea 20 May 2006 | 12:19 pm

May 13: First clue to formation. The tail end of the warm water pulse shooting south along the shelf slope front appears to be pulling water off the shelf behind the trailing edge. May 16: Earliest s...

The Scream 20 May 2006 | 11:38 am

May 18: An artists rendition of the Gulf Stream. The big eddy continues to be trimmed back in size. But whats that little red spot at 72W, 39.5N thats spinning in the clockwise direction? Its pulling ...

Another Week in the life of the Big Eddy 20 May 2006 | 11:29 am

May 14: A study in solid body rotation. May 11: A good day for an ring-meander interaction. I seem to be getting smaller.

More Shots of the Great Warm RIng of 2006 11 May 2006 | 01:11 pm

Thought I would check around to see who else is picking up this big warm ring. Here is a picture from the Navy altimeter product. I always go to NRL first for altimetry. No warm core rings in the slop...

Warm Water at the Shelf Break Shoots South 11 May 2006 | 12:41 pm

May 10: Here's the longest range Codar map of the day. The jet at the shelf break is still heading south around 50 cm/sec. May 10: Clouds are clearing in the southern half of the Mid-Atlantic Bight. ...

Outer Shelf Region Awash 10 May 2006 | 02:12 pm

May 9: After the clear days over the weekend, clouds set in, winds picked up and so did the waves. Increases in wave height increase the range of the CODAR coverage. This one shows the strong currents...

The Shelf-Slope Jet Takes Over 10 May 2006 | 01:59 pm

May 5: The Great Warm Ring still extends fully across the slope water, from the Gulf Stream the shelf break. The warm water on the northeast side is heading down the shelf break front along the entire...
