The hydrography of the Rockall Channel—an overview

摘要: The water masses, major circulation features and long-term variability of Rockall Channel waters are reviewed in relation to work recent years. Data collected with modern instruments disclose more detail the mass structure than found previously, range masses present is examined.The use recording current meter moorings has amplified our knowledge processes occurring within circulation, although net flows remain difficult evaluate. Eddy motions suggested by records geostrophic data confirmed trajectories satellitetracked drogues.Changes temperature salinity upper from early years this century clearly detectable, a brief account given these.
