Description:
SOFAR float observations from the years 1972 to 1981 have been edited and
analyzed to·produce a uniform and error-free data set suitable for archiving.
These data were collected from the western North Atlantic during three major
experiments directed by H. T. Rossby of the .University of Rhode Island. The
data are shown here in plots of the composite and individual trajectories, as
time series plots of velocity components, and for the LDE floats, as time
series plots of temperature, pressure, vertical velocity, and vertical
displacement. These data comprise about 72 years of SOFAR float observations,
and are a unique resource for Lagrangian studies of the North Atlantic
circulation.
