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...
Temperature, salinity, and current measurements extending over one
or more tidal cycles were made at various times during the three-year
period 1960-1962 in Coos Bay, on the central Oregon coast (43°20'N,
124°13'W). Dissolved oxygen was measured occasionally. The three
regular sampling stations are shown in Figure 1. Station A is...
A summary of one phase of a direct observational program conducted
in the coastal region off Oregon is presented. The measurements were
made primarily on the continental shelf in late coastal upwelling season
(August and September 1966). The principal measurements were time
series of horizontal current velocity and temperature fields;...
This is the first data report of a program designed to study physical
processes in Oregon shelf waters by means of moored instrument arrays.
Various statistics and plots of smoothed data are presented for time
series of current velocity and of temperature. Data were collected in
July, August, September, and...
