Low frequency variations in the sea level and currents over the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:: Cutchin, David L.
Abstract:: Sea level and current observations made over the Oregon continental shelf exhibit wavelike characteristics in a frequency band from approximately 0.15 to 0.45 cpd. In a narrow band around 0.22 cpd the current-sea level relationship is consistent with the predicted values for the first mode of Robinson's continental shelf waves....

Observations of the coastal upwelling region off Oregon during 1972

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-
Abstract:: Observations of wind, currents, sea level and hydrography obtained during the 1972 Coastal Upwelling Experiment (CUE-I) are described. Only phenomena with periods longer than a day are considered. One section describes the changes observed during a period of variable winds in early July 1972. Another describes a ribbon of relatively...

The response of Oregon shelf waters to wind fluctuations : differences and the transition between winter and summer

Creator:: Sobey, Edwin J. C., 1948-
Abstract:: The physical characteristics of continental shelf waters off Oregon during late winter and spring of 1975 are described and compared with observations taken previously during summer. The currents in winter are barotropic in the monthly means while in summer the currents are baroclinic. Alongshore current fluctuations on the time scale...

A mesoscale study of coastal currents and upwelling off Peru

Creator:: Enfield, David B.
Abstract:: Moored instrument records, drogue displacements, and hydrographic observations are used in describing the coastal currents and upwelling off Peru. The data were obtained over the continental shelf near 15°S. during a two week study in late March and early April of 1969. First order statistics and graphical representations of current...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Vertical current measurement in the Oregon coastal upwelling region

Creator:: Deckard, Dennis E.
Abstract:: Direct measurements of vertical water motions were made in the Oregon coastal region during the 1972 summer upwelling season. The instruments used were the Webb-Voorhis vertical current meters which are freely drifting neutrally buoyant floats capable of sensing vertical motion. It was found that in the region studied, water tended...

An analysis of upwelling off the south-east Arabian coast during the summer monsoon

Creator:: Bottero, J. S.
Abstract:: A method is described for determining the absolute dynamic topography of the sea surface. Using hydrographic and wind data obtained in 1963, the surface topography and the horizontal and vertical mass transports off the southeast Arabian coast during the summer monsoon are calculated. As indicated by the calculations, upwelling occurs...

Chemistry and hydrography of Oregon coastal waters and the Willamette and Columbia Rivers : March and June, 1971

Creator:: Kantz, Kent William
Abstract:: An inexpensive method for calibrating an infrared analyzer to measure varying ranges of carbon dioxide partial pressures (Pco₂) is described. A discussion is made of the hydrographic (temperature, salinity, and sigma-t) and chemical (dissolved oxygen, AOU, Pco₂ pH, and nutrients) variables that were observed along the Newport hydrographic line in...
