During May and September of 1978, cruises were made in Monterey Bay
to study the relationship of ocean color spectra measured by aircraft and
in situ optical, hydrographic, and chemical parameters. These cruises were
carried out by the Oregon State University optical oceanography group and
by the Naval Postgraduate School...
Hydrographic data and drogue observations were used to describe
the circulation and water masses in the upper 500 meters of
the region of the entrance to the Gulf of California in the early spring
of 1970.
The thermohaline structure of the water and the general circulation
in the vicinity of...
The objectives were to bathymetrically survey areas in the Central Gulf of California where laminated sediments were discovered previously, core with lightweight marine geologic gravity corer, and recover well preserved surface sediment up to 2-3 meters in length. These laminated sediments will essentially be used to establish a model of...
Spectral beam attenuation coefficients, spectral volume scattering
function meaurements at 45°, 90°, and 130° particle size distributions
and chlorophyll a and phaeophytin pigment concentrations were measured during
May and September, 1977 in Monterey Bay, California. This data is examined
and statistical interrelationships between the parameters measured are
explored.
It was...
Internally recording instruments were installed in the Drake Passage in January 1977 and recovered in December 1977. Additional instruments were installed at this time and recovered in January 1979. The first array consisted of 21 Aanderaa current meters on five moorings. The second array was one mooring with three current...
Self-recording instruments were installed in Drake
Passage in February 1976 and recovered in January 1977.
The instrument array consisted of eleven Aanderaa current
meters on seven moorings and two tide gauges. The data
were sampled at one hour intervals.
In this report the measurements are summarized through
pertinent statistics, progressive...
Observations were made southeast of New Zealand from April 1978 to May 1980 with the objectives of investigating the dynamics of low-frequency motions and their effects on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current; and the formation of subantarctic mode water on Campbell Plateau. Self-recording instruments were deployed during a 7-month period from...
Self-recording instruments were installed in the Drake Passage in February 1975. Approximately one-half were part of a short-term array (3 + weeks) and were all successfully recovered in March 1975. The remainder are part of the long-term array which was recovered in January 1976.
The short-term array consisted of 2...
