abstract
Recent synoptic observations of the sea-surface temperature field, made possible through the advent of satellite-borne thermal infrared sensors, indicate that the dominant mesoscale fluctuations in the Gulf Stream in the area are wavelike meanders. They have alongshore wavelenths of about 150 km and progress in the notheastward, or downstream direction at about 40 km day. -from US Govt Reports Announcements, 7, 1982
