ABSTRACT
A web-based ocean current reference site is being constructed at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, U. of Miami. Each major ocean current is planned to have a listing of important links, text, and data plots. The text provides a detailed summary of observed velocities, transport, temperature, and variability for each current. Data plots include average and seasonal surface current fields derived from ship-drift, sea surface temperature maps, near-surface drifter trajectories, and output from numerical simulations by the NOPP-funded HYCOM Consortium for Data-Assimilative Ocean Modeling. We are currently working on Atlantic Ocean Surface Currents. An overview of the site and examples of near-surface trajectories in ocean currents and gyres will be presented.
