Creator:: Huyer, Andriana, 1945- and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: Current and conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) measurements were made over the Oregon shelf near 43°N between February 1981 and April 1984 as part of a large-scale west coast shelf experiment (SuperCODE). The data set includes a nearly continuous record of current velocity and temperature over the continental shelf off...

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted and Powell, Thomas M.
Abstract:: A numerical model has been used to investigate the wind-driven circulation in a stratified basin of moderate size, Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada. Two types of circulation are identified: "direct" circulations, in which the current directions remain relatively constant and the mean circulation formed over several days resembles the instantaneous circulation, and...

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted, Allen, John S., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: Past measurements off the coast of central Oregon and Washington have shown that the rapid change from northward monthly mean winter winds to southward summer winds forces a "spring transition" of the coastal ocean: sea levels and temperatures drop, and mean surface currents shift from northward to southward. Current and...

Creator:: Kosro, P. Michael, 1951- and Huyer, Adriana, 1945-
Abstract:: Two mesoscale surveys were conducted (in July 1981 and July 1982) near Point Arena, California, to determine the structure and circulation associated with tongues of cold surface water extending seaward from the coastal zone. Both surveys were designed at sea on the basis of available satellite IR data, and each...

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945- and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Repeated mesoscale surveys of a 40-km-wide, 100-km-long, coastal region near Point Arena, California, were conducted during the upwelling season (April-August) in 1981 and 1982. Each survey included conventional conductivity-temperature-depth casts at standard locations over the continental shelf and slope between 38°N and 39°10'N, and continuous operation of a Doppler acoustic...

Abstract:: Spectral analysis of the time-varying horizontal magnetic and electric field components yields the magnetotelluric (MT) impedance tensor. This frequency dependent 2x2 complex tensor can be examined for details which axe diagnostic of the electrical conductivity distribution in the Earth within the relevant (frequency dependent) inductive scale length of the surface...

Abstract:: A 5-year time series of coastal zone color scanner imagery (1980-1983, 1986) is used to examine changes in the large-scale pattern of chlorophyll pigment concentration coincident with the spring transition in winds and currents along the west coast of North America. The data show strong interannual variability in the timing...

Abstract:: Seasonal cycles of coastal wind stress, adjusted sea level (ASL), shelf currents, and water temperatures off the west coast of North America (35°N to 48°N) are estimated by fitting annual and semiannual harmonics to data from 1981-1983. Longer records (9-34 years) of monthly ASL indicate that these two harmonics adequately...

Creator:: Samelson, Roger M. and Paulson, Clayton A.
Abstract:: A thermistor chain was towed 1400 km through the eastern North Pacific subtropical frontal zone in January 1980. The observations resolve surface layer temperature features with horizontal wavelengths of 0.2-200 km and vertical scales of 10-70 m. The dominant features, which have horizontal wavelengths of 10-100 km, amplitudes of 0.2°-1.0°C,...
