摘要: During 1975 several shipboard expendable bathythermograph surveys plus satellite infrared imagery provided a nearly synoptic view of the distribution and number Gulf Stream rings in western North Atlantic. Twelve were identified; nine cyclonic (cold core) three anticyclonic (warm rings. This is largest ever observed during short period time (4months). Evidence suggests that mean movement these was southwestward.
