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...

Geopotential anomaly and geostrophic flow off Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Lee, Kuo-heng
Abstract:: The geopotential anomalies and the average meridional geostrophic flow off Newport, Oregon, were computed from the data taken during twenty-one hydrographic cruises. The annual average of geopotential anomaly was 1.31 dynamic meters with a seasonal variation of the order of 14 dynamic centimeters. Highest values of geopotential anomaly occurred in...

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...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Structure and kinematics of the permanent oceanic front off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Collins, Curtis Allan
Abstract:: Using the hydrographic data collected by the ACONA from June 1961 to May 1963, the Oregon coastal front has been examined. Representative sigma-t surfaces were chosen to delineate the front, and changes in position of these surfaces with time were used to obtain zonal flow rates for the frontal and...

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....
