Creator:: Oke, Peter R., Allen, John S., Miller, Robert N., Egbert, Gary D., and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: A data assimilation system (DAS) of the wind‐driven, mesoscale shelf circulation off the Oregon coast is developed. The DAS assimilates low‐pass filtered surface velocity measurements, obtained from land‐based high‐frequency coastal radar arrays, into a primitive equation coastal ocean model using a sequential optimal interpolation scheme. Inhomogeneous and anisotropic estimates of...

Creator:: Erofeeva, Svetlana Y., Egbert, Gary D., and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Measurements of tidal currents on the central Oregon shelf are available from several sources, including recent high frequency (HF) coastal radar and Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) deployments, and historical current moorings. In this paper we use a generalized inverse (GI) approach to compare these data to, and then assimilate them...

Creator:: Boyd, Timothy John, 1958-2013, Levine, Murray D., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Gard, Steve R., Waldorf, Walt, and Oregon State University. College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences
Abstract:: This report documents the oceanographic and meteorological measurements made by the Mooring Observations component of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) project during the upwelling experiment from May to August 2001. The focus of COAST is to study the cross-shelf transport processes in a wind-driven system by making...

Creator:: Fleischbein, Jane, Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Wheeler, Patricia A., Peterson, W. T., and Barth, Jack A.
Abstract:: PURPOSE: To determine physical, plankton and nutrient/chemical conditions over the continental margin for climate change studies in NE Pacific. In particular, to make CTD and CTD/rosette and net tow stations along 5 lines (off Newport, Heceta Head, Coos Bay, the Rogue River and Crescent City, OR, to deploy drifters at...

Abstract:: PURPOSE: To determine physical, plankton and nutrient/chemical conditions over the continental margin for climate change studies in NE Pacific. In particular, to make CTD and CTD/rosette and net tow stations along the Newport Hydro line, to make continuous bio-acoustic observations between the 50-500m. isobath, and to make continuous observations of...

Creator:: Fleischbein, Jane H., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, Wetz, Jennifer Jarrell, and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: As part of the U. S. GLOBEC NorthEast Pacific Program we made repeated seasonal hydrographic surveys in the northern California Current system (Figure 1) between July 1997 and September 2003. These surveys included early spring sampling along a pair of hydrographic sections, one north (at 44.6ºN) and one south (at...

Creator:: Chereskin, T. K., Morris, M. Y., Niiler, P. P., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, Ramp, S. R., Collins, C. A., and Musgrave, D. L.
Abstract:: Moored observations of currents and temperatures made in the upper 600 m on eddy-resolving scales over a 2-year period are used to examine the spatial and temporal characteristics of the California Current mesoscale circulation. The observations were made at three principal longitudes: 124°W, 126°W, and 128°W in the vicinity of...

Abstract:: In 2005, the onset of spring conditions in the physics of the coastal ocean (lowered sea level, spin-up of vertically-sheared equatorward coastal jet) came about 50 days later than average off Newport Oregon, on May 24. There was a further delay of 50 days before the subsurface upwelled water penetrated...

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Moored current measurements from the Oregon shelf during 1998–2003 are used to estimate time series of anomalous alongshore currents and pseudo-displacements, after accounting for the mean and seasonal cycle. From early January through mid-June, 2002, currents at 10 m were anomalously strong toward the south by an average 12 cm/s,...

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: A time series of hourly surface current maps in the shelf waters off Newport, Oregon, was made during April–September 2001 using five SeaSonde HF current mappers, during Coastal Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST). The surface currents responded rapidly to the changing winds, in repeated patterns that were strongly affected by...
