An empirical statistical model relating winds and ocean surface currents : implications for short-term current forecasts

Creator:

Zelenke, Brian Christopher

Abstract:

An empirical statistical model is developed that relates the non-tidal motion of the ocean surface currents off the Oregon coast to forecasts of the coastal winds. The empirical statistical model is then used to produce predictions of the surface currents that are evaluated for their agreement with measured currents. Measurements...
