On the global estimates of geostrophic and Ekman surface currents (2013, background): “Since 1978, satellite-tracked drifters (issued from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory [AOML] Surface Velocity Program, now known as the Global Drifter Program) have been deployed in all ocean basins and have allowed computation”
How does the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) retain its population structure during its larval migration across the North Atlantic Ocean (2006, background): “, Gulf Stream, North Atlantic Current, Azores Current) that have been independently identified in drifter studies (e.g., Flatau et al. 2003; Niiler et al. 2003).”
Mean Dynamic Topography of the Ocean Derived from Satellite and Drifting Buoy Data Using Three Different Techniques (2009, background): “Moving eastward with the steady meandering pattern of the Agulhas Current extension off the tip of the South Africa (Ochoa and Niiler 2007), at least eight regions of highly concentrated, or accelerated, eastward flows of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current system can be identified in both Figs.”
Observational evidence of alternating zonal jets in the world ocean (2005, background): “However,aswind-drivencurrentsareverystrongintheupper ocean [ Niiler et al., 2003 ], the relevance of the discovered structures to the hypothetical deep ZJs ought to be justified.”
