Florida Current transport in North Atlantic Ocean derived from Satellite Altimetry observations (NCEI Accession 0157747)

This archive package contains estimates of the transport of the Florida Current generated by NOAA's Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML). The Florida Current carries northward the western boundary flow of the wind-driven subtropical gyre circulation in the North Atlantic Ocean and the warm upper limb of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Estimates of the Florida Current transport are carried out by NOAA/AOML using satellite altimetry data as a complementary dataset to the in situ estimates that are obtained by the submarine telephone cable in the Florida Straits. These data are produced as part of a suite of key ocean indicators and indexes that are computed at AOML using hydrographic and satellite observations.

本归档数据包包含由美国国家海洋和大气管理局（National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA）下属的大西洋海洋与气象实验室（Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, AOML）生成的佛罗里达海流（Florida Current）输运量估算数据。佛罗里达海流向北输送北大西洋受风驱动的亚热带环流西边界流，以及大西洋经向翻转环流（Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation）的暖性上层分支。NOAA/AOML采用卫星高度计数据作为补充数据集，开展佛罗里达海流输运量的估算工作，该数据可作为佛罗里达海峡海底电话电缆获取的原位观测估算结果的补充。本次发布的佛罗里达海流输运量估算数据，属于AOML通过海洋水文观测与卫星观测数据计算得到的关键海洋指标与指数集的一部分。如需了解更多信息，请访问：http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/phod/indexes/index.php。
