Gulf Stream Marine Hydrokinetic Energy Off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina
AbstractMulti-year measurements of current velocity, salinity, and temperature from fixed and vessel-mounted sensors quantify Gulf Stream (GS) marine hydrokinetic energy (MHK) resource variability…
Characterizing the impact of underwater glider observations on the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) in the Gulf Stream Region
As the western boundary current of the North Atlantic, the Gulf Stream is a well established area of interest for the United States Navy, predominately due to its proximity to the continental shelf…
Gulf Stream Mean and Eddy Kinetic Energy: Three‐Dimensional Estimates From Underwater Glider Observations

  • 2021
The strong, meandering, and eddy‐shedding Gulf Stream is a large oceanic reservoir of both mean and eddy kinetic energy in the northwestern Atlantic. Since 2015, underwater gliders equipped with…
Overview of the Processes Driving Exchange at Cape Hatteras Program
The Processes driving Exchange At Cape Hatteras (PEACH) program seeks to better understand seawater exchanges between the continental shelf and the open ocean near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. This…
JCOPE-FGO: an eddy-resolving quasi-global ocean reanalysis product
In the present research, we provide a brief description and assessment of the oceanic fields analyzed in the newly developed eddy-resolving quasi-global ocean reanalysis product, named the Japan…
Population connectivity of the euphausiid, Stylocheiron elongatum, in the Gulf Stream (NW Atlantic Ocean) in relation to COI barcode diversity of Stylocheiron species
TLDR
It is hypothesized that position-keeping by this deep-living, non-migrating euphausiid species may prevent genetic homogenization (panmixia) in the dynamic Gulf Stream System.
Development of a benchmark solution in compressible liquid flows: analytical solution to the water shock tube problem
This paper discusses the development of an analytical solution to a pure liquid shock tube problem with water as the working fluid. The solution procedure associated with classical gas shock tube…

A study is made of the wind-driven circulation in a homogeneous rectangular ocean under the influence of surface wind stress, linearised bottom friction, horizontal pressure gradients caused by a…
Low‐frequency current and temperature variability from Gulf Stream frontal eddies and atmospheric forcing along the southeast U.S. outer continental shelf
Low-frequency current and temperature time series from the outer shelf between Cape Canaveral, Florida, and Cape Romain, South Carolina, are compared with shipboard hydrographic data, satellite VHRR,…
Distribution of Antarctic intermediate water over the Blake Plateau
During a cruise in September 1980 over the Blake Plateau we observed a northward spread of Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) in the main axis of the Gulf Stream. The AAIW appeared as a lobe less…
Gulf Stream Dynamics along the Southeastern U.S. Seaboard
AbstractThe Gulf Stream strongly interacts with the topography along the southeastern U.S. seaboard, between the Straits of Florida and Cape Hatteras. The dynamics of the Gulf Stream in this region…
Potential Vorticity Structure in the North Atlantic Western Boundary Current from Underwater Glider Observations

Abstract A regional primitive equation model is applied to the study of the interaction between the Gulf Stream and the deep western boundary current (DWBC) where they cross at Cape Hatteras. It is…
Profiling the Gulf Stream with a current meter mooring
A current meter mooring was deployed for one year at the mean position of the Gulf Stream at 68°W. With instruments from 400 m to 4000 m, it provides the first unambiguous evidence that the Gulf…
