The upper ocean large-scale circulation of the western tropical Atlantic from 11.5°S to the Caribbean in November and December 2000 is investigated from a new type of shipboard ADCP able to measure accurate velocities to 600m depth, combined with lowered ADCP measurements. Satellite data and numerical model output complement the shipboard measurements to better describe the large-scale circulation...
Several shipboard sections acquired in the western equatorial Atlantic along 35∘W allow for the first time to analyze the annual cycle of the density and velocity field in the upper 2000m within this region. The amplitude of the annual harmonic of the velocity field shows several distinct maxima at the equator. Strong amplitudes up to 15cms-1 are found in the depth range of the equatorial intermediate...
