surfacecirculati00carp.pdf (5.540Mb)Abstract
During June and July, 19bS, an AXBT burvey was conducted southeast of Mindanao,
Philippines in conjunction with C'lD sections completed along the coast of Mindanao.
Simuhaneously, six Lagrangian drilters are launched in the Mindanao Current. Analysis
of the data indicate a highly dynamic and compUcaied circulation which forms the origin
of the North Equatorial Countercurrent. Strong shears are observed across the
Mindanao current and across a current located on the northeast coast of Borneo, and
based on water mass characteristics and Lagrangian data, the general positions and
strengths of the Mindanao and Halmahera Eddies.
