| contents | A comparison of direct observations of velocity and transport in the Windward Passage Sergey N. Bulgakov Nikolay P. Bulgakov Vitaly A. Ivanov Ciencias de la Tierra data comparison Windward Passage current measurements Velocity and water transport through the Windward Passage is estimated from a review of prior investigations and a newanalysis of mooring observations conducted on February, 18, 1965 and November, 19-23, 1970 in the former USSR. These may bethe only available direct velocity measurements in this area. Direct current measurements indicate a transport of about 8 Sv ± 4 Svinto the Caribbean sea, which is consistent with values estimated by other authors. The transport figure based on November, 19-23, 1970 data is interpreted as a surface outflow of 0.8 Sv in the upper 100 m, a mid-depth inflow of 10.7 Sv in the 100-700 mlayer, and an outflow of 2.0 Sv below 700 m. The general current-countercurrent flow system of the upper 200 m in WindwardPassage compares satisfactorily with recent ADCP observations in the Great Inagua Passage. 2003 artículo científico 0016-7169 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=56842110 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=568 Geofísica Internacional application/pdf Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Geofísica Internacional (México) Num.1 Vol.42 |
