Computer analysis of the surface current field off Oregon based on drift bottle data

Creator:

Lung, Hu Ernest

Abstract:

The fall-winter surface current field off Oregon was determined by analysis of ten years of drift bottle data. Computer programs were developed for generating bottle tracks on a numerical grid, for interpolating bottle velocity components to fill void grid points and for smoothing irregularities in the velocity fields. Charts are...

The response of Oregon shelf waters to wind fluctuations : differences and the transition between winter and summer

Creator:

Sobey, Edwin J. C., 1948-

Abstract:

The physical characteristics of continental shelf waters off Oregon during late winter and spring of 1975 are described and compared with observations taken previously during summer. The currents in winter are barotropic in the monthly means while in summer the currents are baroclinic. Alongshore current fluctuations on the time scale...

Low frequency variations in the sea level and currents over the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:

Cutchin, David L.

Abstract:

Sea level and current observations made over the Oregon continental shelf exhibit wavelike characteristics in a frequency band from approximately 0.15 to 0.45 cpd. In a narrow band around 0.22 cpd the current-sea level relationship is consistent with the predicted values for the first mode of Robinson's continental shelf waves....
