Geopotential anomaly and geostrophic flow off Newport, Oregon

Creator:

Lee, Kuo-heng

Abstract:

The geopotential anomalies and the average meridional geostrophic flow off Newport, Oregon, were computed from the data taken during twenty-one hydrographic cruises. The annual average of geopotential anomaly was 1.31 dynamic meters with a seasonal variation of the order of 14 dynamic centimeters. Highest values of geopotential anomaly occurred in...

Structure and kinematics of the permanent oceanic front off the Oregon coast

Creator:

Collins, Curtis Allan

Abstract:

Using the hydrographic data collected by the ACONA from June 1961 to May 1963, the Oregon coastal front has been examined. Representative sigma-t surfaces were chosen to delineate the front, and changes in position of these surfaces with time were used to obtain zonal flow rates for the frontal and...
