CTD and velocity surveys of seaward jets off Northern California, July 1981 and 1982

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951- and Huyer, Adriana, 1945-
Abstract:: Two mesoscale surveys were conducted (in July 1981 and July 1982) near Point Arena, California, to determine the structure and circulation associated with tongues of cold surface water extending seaward from the coastal zone. Both surveys were designed at sea on the basis of available satellite IR data, and each...

Central California Coastal Circulation Study : CTD observations, cruise 8403, July 1984

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: CTD observations were made over the continental shelf and upper continental slope from the coast to approximately 60 km off central California between latitudes 34°N and 37.5°N. The measurements were made by Raytheon Service Company as part of the Central California Coastal Circulation Study sponsored by the Minerals Management Service....

Mesoscale surveys over the shelf and slope in the upwelling region near Point Arena, California

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945- and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Repeated mesoscale surveys of a 40-km-wide, 100-km-long, coastal region near Point Arena, California, were conducted during the upwelling season (April-August) in 1981 and 1982. Each survey included conventional conductivity-temperature-depth casts at standard locations over the continental shelf and slope between 38°N and 39°10'N, and continuous operation of a Doppler acoustic...

Structure of the coastal current field off Northern California during the coastal ocean dynamics experiment

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: For 74 days during the spring and summer upwelling seasons of 1981 and 1982, in conjunction with the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment, profiles of upper ocean currents were collected in the waters over the shelf and slope off northern California using a shipboard Doppler acoustic log. These measurements provide detailed...

The nature of the cold filaments in the California current system

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Brink, K. H., Hayward, T., Niiler, Pearn P., James, C., Dewey, R., Walstad, L., Chavez, F., Ramp, S., Mackas, D. L., Swenson, M., Washburn, L. A., Barth, John A., Hood, R. R., Abbott, Mark R., Kadko, D., Barber, R., Haidvogel, D., Batteen, M., and Haney, R.
Abstract:: Data from the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment are used to describe the velocity fields and water properties associate with cold filaments in the California Current. Combined with previous field surveys and satellite imagery, these show seasonal variability with maximum dynamic height ranges and velocities in summer and minimum values...

Currents and water masses of the coastal transition zone off Northern California, June to August 1988

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Fleischbein, Jane, Ramp, Steven R., Stanton, Tim, Washburn, Libe, Chavez, Francisco P., Cowles, Timothy J., Pierce, Stephen D., and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: In summer 1988, we made repeated mesoscale surveys of a grid extending 200 km offshore between 37°N and 39°N in the coastal transition zone off northern California, obtaining continuous acoustic Doppler current profiler data and conductivity-temperature-depth data at standard stations 25 km apart on alongshore sections 40 km apart. All...

Water mass subduction and the transport of phytoplankton in a coastal upwelling system

Creator:: Washburn, Libe, Kadko, David C., Jones, Burton H., Hayward, Thomas, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Stanton, Timothy P., Ramp, Steve, and Cowles, Timothy
Abstract:: Observations during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment in summer 1988 reveal the presence of deep phytoplankton layers in a coastal upwelling system. The layers occur throughout the CTZ study area, including a strong baroclinic jet which was present over the period of the experiment. On the basis of a...

Horizontal transport and the distribution of nutrients in the coastal transition zone off Northern California: effects on primary production, phytoplankton biomass and species composition

Creator:: Chavez, Francisco P., Barber, Richard T., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Ramp, Steven R., Stanton, Timothy P., and Rojas de Mendiola, Blanca
Abstract:: Conductivity‐temperature‐depth surveys during 1988 encountered strong baroclinic jets that were evident in acoustic Doppler current profiler and hydrographic data. During June and July 1988 a filament with high surface nitrate, high chlorophyll, abundant populations of neritic centric diatoms, and higher rates of primary production was evident perpendicular to the coast...

Offshore wind forcing in the Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico: the asymmetric circulation

Creator:: Trasviña, A., Barton, E.D., Brown, J., Velez, H.S., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: Since the early surveys carried out by the Eastern Tropical Pacific (EASTROPIC) and Scripps Tuna Oceanographic Research (STOR) projects in the tropical Pacific off Mexico, the northerly winds which blow over the Gulf of Tehuantepec were described as an Important factor controlling the dynamics of this coastal ocean. In January-February...

Upper ocean thermohaline fields near 2°S, 156°E, during the Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere - Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment, November 1992 to February 1993

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Lukas, Roger, and Hacker, Peter
Abstract:: Zonal and meridional Seasoar sections centered at 1°50’S, 156°06’E were repeated >30 times in three 20-day periods between November 13, 1992, and February 15, 1993. Both sections were 130 km long, and sampling depth was 0–280 m, with a vertical resolution of ~2 dbar (2 x 104 Pa) and a...
