Explore the all part of the following question
Question- Surface temperatures in the Gulf Stream near Florida measured with a thermometer drifting with the current at a rate of 2 m per second, show that the water is cooled by 2 o C per week. At the same time temperatures measured at a fixed location indicate a decrease at the rate of 0.2 o C per week.
Part 1- How strong is the volume transport in Sverdrups near Florida, if you assume an average width of 115 km and a depth of 150 m across the Stream.
Part 2- What is the meridional temperature gradient in the Gulf Stream?
Part 3- According to results of is the water cooler or warmer in northward direction? Discuss the results.
I want help to explain the volume transport in Sverdrups near Florida.
