Creator:: Mazzini, Piero L. F., Barth, John A., Shearman, R. Kipp, and Erofeev, A.
Abstract:: During fall/winter off the Oregon coast, oceanographic surveys are relatively scarce because of rough weather conditions. This challenge has been overcome by the use of autonomous underwater gliders deployed along the Newport hydrographic line (NH-Line) nearly continuously since 2006. The discharge from the coastal rivers between northern California and the...

Creator:: Shearman, R. Kipp and Childress, Jeremy L.
Abstract:: Over the past decade, regional ocean observing systems have been established along nearly the entirety of the U.S. coastlines, forming a major component of the national Integrated Ocean Observing System (100S). Observations from these systems provide information to support decision making by governmental agencies and commercial enterprises, such as shipping...

Creator:: Shearman, R. Kipp and Brink, Kenneth H.
Abstract:: High‐resolution surveys of oceanographic and atmospheric conditions made during the winter over the inner shelf off northwest Australia are used to examine the coastal ocean response to large outgoing heat and freshwater fluxes. Relatively cool, low‐humidity air blows off the Australian continent out over the tropical continental shelf, resulting in...

Creator:: Shearman, R. Kipp and Lentz, Steven J.
Abstract:: Sea surface temperature variations along the entire U.S. East Coast from 1875 to 2007 are characterized using a collection of historical observations from lighthouses and lightships combined with recent buoy and shore-based measurements. Long-term coastal temperature trends are warming in the Gulf of Maine [1.0° ± 0.3°C (100 yr)⁻¹] and...

Creator:: Shearman, R. Kipp, Barth, John A., Allen, J. S., and Haney, Robert L.
Abstract:: Several diagnoses of three-dimensional circulation, using density and velocity data from a high-resolution, upper-ocean SeaSoar and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) survey of a cyclonic jet meander and adjacent cyclonic eddy containing high Rossby number flow, are compared. The Q-vector form of the quasigeostrophic omega equation, two omega equations derived...

Creator:: Shearman, R. Kipp, Barth, John A., and Kosro, P. Michael
Abstract:: A high-resolution upper-ocean survey of a cyclonic jet meander and an adjacent cyclonic eddy in the California Current region near 38°N, 126°W was conducted as part of the summer of 1993 Eastern Boundary Currents program. Temperature and salinity were measured from a SeaSoar vehicle, and velocity was measured by shipboard...
