Creator:: Park, Melora M., Moum, James N., Caldwell, Douglas R., and Oregon State University. College of Oceanography
Abstract:: Temperature, salinity, sigma-t and dissipation profiles from the Rapid Sampling Vertical Profiler for six transects as part of the Coastal Transition zone pilot experiment, June 1987.
Resource Type:: Technical Report

Creator:: Imawaki, Shiro, Niiler, Pearn P., Gautier, Catherine H., Halpern, David, Knox, Robert A., Large, William G., Luther, Douglas S., McWilliams, James C., Moum, James N., and Paulson, Clayton A.
Abstract:: A new method is presented for estimating the vertical turbulent heat flux at the bottom of the daily mixed layer from the temperature data in the mixed layer and net solar irradiance data at the sea surface. We assume that fluctuations in the divergence of advective heat flux have longer...

Abstract:: During August 1986, a large cold anomaly was observed in satellite and in situ measurements near Cape Blanco at 42°N, 126°30′W off the Pacific Coast. Detailed vertical profiles of temperature, conductivity, turbulent dissipation, and horizontal currents showed 1) surface water temperature changes as large as 2 degrees in 1 kilometer...

Creator:: Cowles, Timothy J., Moum, James N., Desiderio, Russell A., and Angel, Stanley M.
Abstract:: The first seagoing test of a prototype laser/fiber-optic system for in situ detection of ocean chlorophyll fluorescence is described. Radiation at 488 nm originating from a shipboard argon laser was transmitted through 20 of 200-µm core optical fiber to the distal tip mounted on the microstructure profiler, the Rapid Sampling...

Creator:: Moum, James N., Caldwell, Douglas R., and Paulson, Clayton A.
Abstract:: Twelve days of microstructure measurements at the equator (140°W) in November 1984 showed a surprisingly strong effect of both the daily cycle of solar heating and wind on mixing in the upper ocean. Because of limited variations in atmospheric forcing and currents during the experiment, processes in the daily mixing...

Creator:: Chereskin, T. K., Moum, James N., Stabeno, P. J., Caldwell, Douglas R., Paulson, C. A., Regier, L. A., and Halpern, D.
Abstract:: In November-December 1984 we carried out an intensive 12-day upper ocean sampling program on the equator at 140°W as part of the Tropic Heat Experiment. From our observations we constructed hourly averaged profiles of temperature, salinity, σ₁, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and horizontal velocity. These data were used to...

Creator:: Park, Melora M., Moum, James N., Caldwell, Douglas R., and Brown, Michael D.
Abstract:: Our component of the TROPIC HEAT 1987 experiment was designed to investigate a number of questions raised by our TROPIC HEAT 1984 measurements (Park et al, 1985; Mourn and Caldwell, 1985; Mourn et al, 1986; Chereskin et al, 1986; Mourn et al; 1987). In particular, the goals of LEG 2...
