The effects of five data processing methods on the accuracy of
geostrophic computations are analyzed using hydrographic data collected
from a set of 24 hour triangular stations off the Oregon coast.
Sources of error are assessed by comparison with an available in
situ Salinity/Temperature/Depth record (STD) trace at a control...
The lack of availability of a single, complete paper on the
analysis of a digital data acquisition system for in situ oceanographic
measurements brought about the present work. In order to compile
an accurate technical paper on such a complex system, it was necessary
to design, construct, and calibrate a...
