Subsurface temperature data and surface meteorological data are analyzed from thermistor chain moorings deployed near 50°N, 140°W during the Storm Transfer and Response Experiment (STREX). The upper-ocean heat and potential energy (PE) contents to 90 m are examined for an 18-day period and their changes compared to the sources and...
A closely spaced hydrographic section from Oabu, Hawaii to 28°N, 152°W and then north along 152°W shows strong eddy or current features with dynamic height signatures of about 30 dyn cm across 150 km and associated geostrophic surface velocities of approximately 60 cm s⁻¹. Two such features are found between...
The following is a report on a limited survey we conducted testing for the presence of Mesurol (Methiocarb) in Oregon wines. This study was undertaken as a result of recent publicity (resulting from testing in British Columbia) concerning the finding of Methiocarb residues in some wines, including Oregon wines; and...
A thermistor chain was moored below the pack ice from 50–150 m in the Arctic Ocean for five days in 1981. Oscillations in temperature are attributed to the vertical dispalcement of internal waves. The spectral shape of isotherm dispalcement is consistent with the Garrett-Munk model and other internal wave observations,...
We describe the spectral analysis of temperature and velocity measurements made in the northeast Pacific as part of the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE) and attempt to relate the observed fluctuations to internal-wave models of the upper ocean. From the inertial frequency to 1 cph there is good agreement between these...
