    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch Strömungs-Sichtbarmachung wird für Ringwirbel, die an einer kreisförmigen Rohrmündung in Wasser erzeugt werden, der zeitliche Verlauf des Aufrollvorgangs untersucht und mit Ähnlichkeitsgesetzen für die Aufrollung von ebenen Wirbelschichten verglichen. Aus Messungen des instationären Strömungsfeldes im Mündungsquerschnitt mit einem Laser-Anemometer wird die Wirbelstärke-Verteilung in den Grenzschichten an der inneren und äußeren Rohrwand sowie der Wirbelfluß durch den Mündungsquerschnitt bestimmt. Dadurch wird die Entstehung der Zirkulation, die im fertig ausgebildeten Ringwirbel drei Rohrdurchmesser stromabwärts gemessen wird, in Abhängigkeit von den Erzeugungsbedingungen verständlich.
    Notes: Abstract The temporal development of the rolling-up process of vortex rings produced in water at a circular nozzle is investigated by flow visualization. The results are compared with similarity laws for the rolling-up of vortex sheets in plane flow. The unsteady flow field in the nozzle-exit plane is measured by laser anemometry. The vorticity distribution in the boundary layers at the inner and outer nozzle wall and the vorticity flux through the exit plane are derived from the measurements. The flow conditions measured at the nozzle are used to explain the production of the ring-vortex circulation (measured three nozzle-diameters downstream) in relation to the generation conditions.

    Description: Sea level variations and geostrophic circulation in the western tropical Atlantic are studied in an intercomparison of Geosat altimetry and the World Ocean Circulation Experiment community model effort high‐resolution model forced with climatological windstress. Overall, the annual cycles of geostrophic current fields of both products compare very well. Special comparison areas are the western North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) and the North Brazil Current (NBC) region. Meridional profiles of zonal velocity anomalies show a seasonal meridional migration of the NECC core centered at 5°N and a weaker eastward maximum during fall at 9°N in both products. The Geosat and model seasonal cycles of the NECC core velocity in the region 35°–45°W are highly correlated and agree with respect to the onset of eastward current acceleration and deceleration in May and December, respectively. Geosat time series from November 1986 to June 1989 show year to year differences, in particular an anomalous early NECC acceleration phase in 1987. In the NBC region 54°–58°W, flow anomalies from both Geosat and the model have two westward maxima, in March and June, which appear to be associated with eastward anomalies further offshore.

    Description: Mesoscale fluctuations in the western tropical Atlantic are analyzed in Geosat altimetry sea surface height (SSH) and geostrophic velocity anomalies to investigate the role of eddies in the North Brazil Current (NBC) retroflection zone. The detachment of anticyclonic eddies from the NBC retroflection is observed during November through January, when the NBC retroflection into the North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC) weakens and finally breaks down. These eddies are traced over more than 2 months between 50° and 60°W on their way toward the Caribbean, at average speeds of 15 cm s−1. In one case an apparent merger of two anticyclonic eddies occurs, one detached from the retroflection zone and one detached from the NECC. Cyclonic eddies are also observed but are generally less persistent. Mesoscale SSH variance just west of the retroflection increases by a factor of 2 from early summer to winter, mainly because of the anticyclonic eddies. Interhemispheric water mass transfer associated with the eddy flux out of the NBC retroflection may amount to an average transport of 3 Sv.

    Description: Cicosal sea surface height (SSH) data in the tropical and midlatitude North Atlantic are analyzed with and without water vapor (WV) correction to study the WV influence on along-track SSH anomaly profits, mesoscale SSH variability, wavenumber spectra, and objectively mapped fields of SSH anomaly. Three different WV datasets were used, one from the Fleet Numerical Oceanographic Center (FNOC) model and two from the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) based on different WV retrieval algorithms. These WV dataset show significant differences, in particular in the tropics. However, the method for deriving SSH anomalies from altimeter height data Alters out much of the WV corrections. The residual WV effect on SSH anomaly is shown to be most significant in the seasonally migrating intertropical convergence zone of the tropical Atlantic: there the SSM/I corrections reduce the along-track mesoscale SSH variability by typically 1–1.5 cm. On seasonal timescales the maximum WV effect in this region is characterized by a 2–3-cm rms difference between SSH anomaly with and without SSM/I WV corrections, whereas FNOC corrections have almost no effect. Inferred seasonal velocity variations in the North Equatorial Countercurrent core (4° – 6°N) in the region of maximum WY influence (30° – 40°W) are reduced by about 20% and 30%, depending on whether SSM/I corrections by Emery or Wentz are used
