Wecoma cruise W8702B was conducted in February 1987 as part of the pilot study for the Coastal Transition Zone project. CTD observations were made in the coastal transition zone off northern California between 37.5°N and 4l.5°N. Stations were planned along three alongshore transects, at distances of 60, 90 and 150...
Wecoma cruise W8705A was conducted in May 1987 as part of the pilot study for the Coastal Transition Zone project. CTD observations were made in the coastal transition zone off northern California between 37.5°N and 41.5°N. Stations were planned along three alongshore transects, at distances of 60, 90 and 150...
Wecoma cruise W8706A was conducted in June 1987 as part of the pilot study for the Coastal Transition Zone project. CTD observations were made in the coastal transition zone off northern California between 37.5°N and 41.5°N and along 43°13'N off Coos Bay, Oregon. Altogether 133 stations were completed successfully. They...
Wecoma cruise W8806A was conducted in June 1988 as part of the pilot study for the Coastal Transition Zone project. CTD observations were made over a standard grid in the coastal transition zone off northern California between 37° N and 39.5° N that was to be occupied repeatedly during June,...
Wecoma cruise W8807A was conducted in late July and early August 1988 as part of the Coastal Transition Zone project. CTD observations were made over a standard grid in the coastal transition zone off northern California between 37°N and 39.5°N that was occupied repeatedly during June, July and August; this...
An international Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment
(COARE) was conducted in the warm-pool region of the western equatorial
Pacific Ocean over a four-month period from November 1992 through February
1993 (Webster and Lukas, 1992). Most of the oceanographic and meteorological
observations were concentrated in the Intensive Flux Array (IFA) centered at...
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...
This report documents oceanographic and meteorological measurements made from instruments deployed on four moorings over the continental shelf west of Oregon, from spring through
summer, 1999. These moorings were a component of an observational and numerical modeling program to study the response of the coastal ocean to wind forcing.
The...
An optimal interpolation (OI) sequential algorithm is implemented for a three-dimensional primitive equation model to assimilate current measurements from acoustic Doppler profilers moored on the Oregon shelf as a part of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) upwelling experiment (May–August 2001). A stationary estimate of the forecast error...
