The Subpolar Mode Water of the North Atlantic Ocean

摘要: Abstract The warm waters of the subtropical and subpolar basins North Atlantic have tight regional temperature-salinity relationships, are conventionally called “Central Waters.” A volumetric census characteristics by Wright Worthington (1970) shows that characterized certain segments T-S relationships large volumes compared to those other segments: “Mode Such Mode Waters appear as layers with increased vertical separation between isopycnals-pycnostads. present study reports on existence pycnostads in central eastern Atlantic.
