Survey of a Gulf Stream frontal filament

· Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)
An assortment of data is used to map and characterize a Gul Stream filament. During 21--25 April 1980, a filament was captured as it moved through an array of moored current meters on the northeast Florida continental shelf. Current and temperature time series along with satellite VHRR and aircraft ART are used to reconstruct the event. The event is found to consist of an anticyclonically rotating, warm tongue inshore of a cold dome. The rotational scheme of the current in the warm tongue is opposite to previous hypotheses. Upwelling occurs in both the cold dome region and below the warm tongue.
