Estimation of surface currents using optical satellite imagery of Kelvin wakes

Ocean currents play a crucial role in many scientific and industrial applications. Contemporary measurement techniques are limited in spatial coverage or spatial resolution. This study presents a proof-of-concept for a new measurement principle that merges optical satellite imagery of Kelvin wakes with data from the Automatic Identification...

Het voorkomen van het subtropisch tussenwater voor de noordkust van Zuid-Amerika

Oceanographic observations were made during Autumn 1970 and Spring 1971. Special attention is given to the salinity maximum at about 100 m depth, resulting from the subtropical intermediate water possibly from both northern and southern origin. To obtain an insight in the spreading of these water types isentropic analysis according to Montgomery...

Invloed van de Amazone rivierafvoer op de westelijk tropische Atlantische Oceaan

Observations were made of temperature, salinity, currents and meteorology in the ocean off the northern coast of South America, during autumn 1970 and spring 1971. The observed salinity distributions in the surface layer reflect the seasonal variation in the trade winds. Besides, very strong vertical current shear waS found over the layer...
