Eddy Heat Flux in the North Pacific,

Abstract

Estimates of meridonal heat flux in the North Pacific are reviewed. The 1976-1980 TRANSPAC XBT data is used to estimate transient and standing eddy heat fluxes above 400 dbar. The latter is marginally significant, due to an offshore meander in the Kuroshio path.
