Features in the vertical structure of the meridional flow field over the continental rise east of Abaco, the Bahamas

| Summary: | Since Spring 2004, the RAPID-MOC mooring array (Monitoring the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation at 26.5N) and the MOCHA array (Meridional Overturning Circulation and Heat-flux Array), have been a system continuously monitoring the
Atlantic Meridional Circulation (MOC) in the subtropical North Atlantic. Using two
year long current meter records (2004-2006), along with historical data (1986 – 1997),
as decribed by Lee et.al. (1990) and Lee et.al. (1996) of the western boundary moorings, we analyze the vertical structure of the complex flow field in the Antilles Current
(AC)/ Deep Western Boundary Current (DWBC) regime |
