• The Atlantic Subtropical Cells Inferred from Observations 

      Tuchen, Franz PhilipORCIDiD; Lübbecke, Joke F.ORCIDiD; Schmidtko, SunkeORCIDiD; Hummels, RebeccaORCIDiD; Böning, Claus W.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2019)
      The Atlantic Subtropical Cells (STCs) are shallow wind-driven overturning circulations connecting the tropical upwelling areas to the subtropical subduction regions. In both hemispheres, they are characterized by equatorward ...
    • Transports and Pathways of the Tropical AMOC Return Flow From Argo Data and Shipboard Velocity Measurements 

      Tuchen, Franz PhilipORCIDiD; Brandt, PeterORCIDiD; Lübbecke, Joke F.ORCIDiD; Hummels, RebeccaORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2022-02-05)
      The upper‐ocean circulation of the tropical Atlantic is a complex superposition of thermohaline and wind‐driven flow components. The resulting zonally and vertically integrated upper‐ocean meridional flow is referred to ...
    • Tropical Instability Waves and Wind‐Forced Cross‐Equatorial Flow in the Central Atlantic Ocean 

      Heukamp, Finn OleORCIDiD; Brandt, PeterORCIDiD; Dengler, MarcusORCIDiD; Tuchen, Franz PhilipORCIDiD; McPhaden, Michael J.ORCIDiD; Moum, James N.ORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2022-09-29)
      Based on velocity data from a long‐term moored observatory located at 0°N, 23°W we present evidence of a vertical asymmetry during the intraseasonal maxima of northward and southward upper‐ocean flow in the equatorial ...
