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...
The Gibraltar Experiment is a many faceted study of the dynamics
and kinematics of the exchange between the Atlantic and Mediterranean
through the Strait of Gibraltar (Bryden and Kinder, 1986). Net
evaporation over the Mediterranean basin forces a surface inflow of
Atlantic water and a nearly compensating deep outflow of...
Internally recording instruments were installed in the Drake Passage in January 1979 and recovered in January 1980. Additional instruments were installed at this time for the first experiment in the Pilot Ocean Monitoring Experiment. These are to be recovered in March of 1981. The array consisted of seventy current meters...

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...
Aanderaa recording current meters, moored off the Oregon coast at fixed depths measured water temperature, current speed, current direction and for some meters, conductivity and pressure. In addition to these subsurface meters, surface meteorological buoys were installed to measure wind speed, wind direction, air and water temperature. Data from each...
Aanderaa recording current meters, moored in CUE-I off the Oregon coast at specific depths along both the Newport hydrographic line and perpendicular to the isobaths off Depoe Bay, were set to measure water temperature, current speed, current direction and, in some cases, pressure. In addition, surface buoy meteorological stations were...
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...
