The Global Station Papa Array is a set of three moorings. With a distance between moorings approximately ten times that of the water depth, the array is able to collect data on the mesoscale variability. Unlike the design of the Global Irminger Sea Array, the Global Station Papa array does not have an OOI Surface Mooring.
The Irminger Sea is a marginal sea of the North Atlantic Ocean. It is bordered to the west by southern Greenland , to the north by Iceland and the Denmark Strait , to the east by the Reykjanes Ridge (a northern part of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge ), and to the south by open waters of the North Atlantic.
Cape desolation marks the location where most irminger rings are formed. The 3000m depth contour is the contour Irminger rings tend to follow when they propagate. The bathymetry data is obtained from the General Bathymetric Chart of the Ocean (GEBCO). [4] The current data is obtained from the CMEMs database. [5]
A marginal sea is a division of an ocean, partially enclosed by islands, archipelagos, or peninsulas, adjacent to or widely open to the open ocean at the surface, and/or bounded by submarine ridges on the sea floor. [7] The World Ocean. For example, the Law of the Sea states that all of the World Ocean is "sea", [8] [9] [10] [b] and this is ...
The 3000-float array was achieved in November 2007 and was global. The Argo Steering Team met for the first time in 1999 in Maryland (USA) and outlined the principles of global data sharing. The Argo Steering Team made a 10-year report to OceanObs-2009 [ 5 ] and received suggestions on how the array might be improved.
The Irminger Current is a north Atlantic ocean current setting westward off the southwest coast of Iceland. It is composed of relatively warm and saline waters from the eastern North Atlantic that are fed by the North Atlantic Drift .
The strait connects the Greenland Sea, an extension of the Arctic Ocean, to the Irminger Sea, a part of the Atlantic Ocean.It is 480 kilometres (300 mi) long. The narrowest part of the strait is 290 kilometres (180 mi) wide and lies between Straumnes, on Iceland's Hornstrandir peninsula, and Cape Tupinier, on Greenland's Blosseville Coast.
Matrix multiplication is an example of a 2-rank function, because it operates on 2-dimensional objects (matrices). Collapse operators reduce the dimensionality of an input data array by one or more dimensions. For example, summing over elements collapses the input array by 1 dimension.
