The linear and non-linear baroclinic instability in the eastern North Pacific

Creator:: Lee, Dong-kyu
Abstract:: Using a linear quasi-geostrophic model of large scale spiraling flow and vertical density gradient in the eastern North Pacific, we evaluate the complex dispersion relationships for quasi-geostrophic waves. Our calculations indicate that the geostrophic circulation of the eastern North Pacific can locally convert potential energy to mesoscale kinetic energy on...

The fall transition of Oregon shelf waters

Creator:: Reid, Brad
Abstract:: A long and gradual transition between the summer and winter oceanic regimes was observed off Oregon during the autumn of 1980. Hydrographic sections and a single current meter mooring between August and December show the ocean possessed characteristics during fall that have not been observed during other seasons: a slow...

Physical, chemical and CTD data from the Marathon II Expedition : R/V Thomas Washington 261, 4 May-4 June 1984

Creator:: Martin, Margie, Talley, Lynne D., and de Szoeke, Roland A.
Abstract:: Hydrographic and CTD measurements were taken from ninety-eight stations between Honolulu, Hawaii and Kodiak, Alaska from 4 May to 4 June 1984 on the second leg of the Marathon Expedition. This report consists of the cruise track, vertical sections, listings of all discrete hydrographic data, a subsample of the CTD...

Observations from the C1 Mooring during ocean storms in the N.E. Pacific Ocean, August 1987-June 1988

Creator:: Levine, Murray D., Paulson, Clayton A., Gard, Steve R., Simpkins, Jay, and Zervakis, Vassilis
Abstract:: This report presents observations from a single mooring of velocity, temperature, conductivity, and pressure, made as part of the Ocean Storms experiment, conducted in the N.E. Pacific Ocean (47° 25.4' N, 139° 17.8' W) from August 1987 to June 1988. The mooring contained a total of 14 current meters, 4...

Creator:: Halliwell, George R., Jr., Pittock, Henry L., Halliwell, Vicki, M., and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Meteorological, sea surface temperature, and coastal sea level data were collected along the west coast of North America from northern Baja California to the Alaska/British Columbia border from 1980 to mid-1984 for the large-scale component of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE). This report presents statistical summaries and plots of...
