The Upper Ocean Circulation at Great Meteor Seamount. Part II: Retention Potential of the Seamount Induced Circulation

Abstract

No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The importance of tidal rectification and internal tide generation has been documented in Part I of this study. Passive tracers confirm the idea that there is an area above the seamount which is largely isolated from the surroundings. Lagrangian particle trajectories are used to test and quantify the potential for retention
