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...
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...
Self-recording instruments were installed in the Drake Passage in February 1975. Approximately one-half were part of a short-term array. Data from these short-term instruments are described in Pillsbury, Bottero and Still (1976). This report is complementary to Report 65 and describes the data from the long-term array.
The long-term array...
