| Description: |
The subinertial variability of deep-ocean currents near the crest of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) in the tropical East Pacific is examined in this study using observations from a collection of moored instruments augmented with sea-surface height data. The authors conclude that the subinertial velocity field near the EPR crest is mainly a superposition of velocities associated with eddies propagating westward across the ridge and "topographic flows", such as trapped waves and boundary currents.
