A pair of hydrographic sections, one north and one south of Cape Blanco at 42.9N, was sampled in five summers (1998–2000 and 2002–2003). The NH line at 44.6N lies about 130 km south of the Columbia River, and spans a relatively wide shelf off Newport, Oregon. The CR line at...
A summary of one phase of a direct observational program conducted
in the coastal region off Oregon is presented. The measurements
were made primarily on the continental shelf during most of the coastal
upwelling season (May and June 1967; April through September 1968).
The principal measurements were time series of...
During February, March and April 1974, the interdisciplinary Coastal
Upwelling Ecosystems Analysis experiment known as JOINT-I took place over
the continental shelf and slope near Cabo Corveiro in the NW African upwelling
region. As part of the field program, Oregon State University
made a series of repeated hydrographic surveys from...
Oregon State University installed and recovered moorings along the coast of Peru during the period late March 1976 through mid-May 1977. A mid-shelf mooring near 15°S (MILA)
was maintained for the full duration of the experiment, through five successive installations. This site was complemented by six other moorings in the...
The seasonal variation in the alongshore velocity field is inferred from direct current observations made over the Oregon continental shelf at various locations and irregular intervals since 1965. Monthly mean currents are computed and compared with earlier studies to give a description of the seasonal variation in the alongshore currents....
Current meter moorings maintained over the Oregon continental shelf in 1973 and 1975 clearly show the difference between winter and spring oceanographic regimes and the rapid transition between the regimes. In winter the mean alongshore current is northward at all depths and strongest near shore; there is no mean vertical...
Current and conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) measurements were made over the Oregon
shelf near 43°N between February 1981 and April 1984 as part of a large-scale west coast shelf experiment
(SuperCODE). The data set includes a nearly continuous record of current velocity and temperature
over the continental shelf off...

Repeated conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sections were made across the continental
margin off Peru at 5°S and 10°S between November 1981 and May 1984, i.e., before, during, and after El
Nino of 1982-1983. Coastal sea level at Paita (5°S) and Callao (12°S) began to rise in early October 1982...
Near‐inertial motions were observed at all current meters in an array of five moorings spanning the continental margin off central Oregon during October 1977 to January 1978. All moorings were between 10 and 130 km from shore, in water depths between 100 m and 2500 m. Largest near‐inertial amplitudes (>30...
