Abstract:: In November-December 1984 we carried out an intensive 12-day upper ocean sampling program on the equator at 140°W as part of the Tropic Heat Experiment. From our observations we constructed hourly averaged profiles of temperature, salinity, σ₁, turbulent kinetic energy dissipation rate, and horizontal velocity. These data were used to...

Creator:: Stegmann, P. M., Lewis, M. R., Davis, C. O., and Cullen, J. J.
Abstract:: Biological, optical, and hydrographical data were collected on the WEC88 cruise along 150°W and during a 6-day time series station on the equator during February/March 1988. This area was characterized by a subsurface chlorophyll maximum (SCM), located at 50–70 m depth at the equator and descending down to 120–125 m...

Creator:: Zaneveld, J. Ronald, Pak, Hasong, and Plank, William S.
Abstract:: Optical and hydrographic observations were made at two meridional sections across the Cromwell Current at 92°00’ and 91°40’W during February 1969. The distribution of hydrographic and optical properties near the Galapagos Islands is described. Beneath the thermocline the Cromwell Current is characterized by deepening of the light-scattering isolines. Above the...

Abstract:: During austral summer 1997, satellite imagery revealed enhanced chlorophyll associated with the Antarctic Polar Front at 170°W. Phytoplankton growth conditions during the early stages of the spring increase were investigated on the Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Process Study Survey I cruise using flow cytometry (FCM) and microscopy to characterize...

Creator:: Dillon, Tom M. and Caldwell, Douglas R.
Abstract:: Slow perturbations of the drop speed of a nearly freely falling, winged, microstructure probe in the upper 200 m at station P are interpreted as vertical velocity fluctuations of an internal wave field. The frequencies of these fluctuations lie in the 2.5- to 4-cph band, near the buoyancy-frequency cutoff. A...

Creator:: Barth, John A., Cowles, Timothy J., and Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: As part of the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study Southern Ocean program, high-resolution surveys of the Antarctic Polar Front near 170øW were conducted during October-November 1997 with a towed undulating system equipped with conductivity-temperature-depth and bio-optical sensors. Transects along 170°W and two successive mapping surveys revealed zonal bands with...

Creator:: Beardsley, Robert C., Denver, Edward P., Lentz, Steven J., and Dean, Jerome P.
Abstract:: Surface heat flux components are estimated at a midshelf site over the northern California shelf using moored measurements from the 1981-1982 Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) and the 1988-1989 Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE). Time series of estimated fluxes extend from early winter through summer upwelling conditions, allowing examination of...

Creator:: Wijesekera, H. W., Allen, John S., and Newberger, P. A.
Abstract:: The sensitivity of model-produced time-dependent wind-driven circulation on the continental shelf to the turbulent closure scheme employed is studied with a twodimensional approximation (variations across-shelf and in depth) using the Princeton Ocean Model. The level 2.5 Mellor-Yamada closure (MY), k-ε closure, and K-Profile Parameterization schemes are used to evaluate the...

Abstract:: A time series of hourly surface current maps in the shelf waters off Newport, Oregon, was made during April–September 2001 using five SeaSonde HF current mappers, during Coastal Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST). The surface currents responded rapidly to the changing winds, in repeated patterns that were strongly affected by...

Abstract:: Data from an array of bottom pressure gauges and a string of current meters in the vicinity of 47°N, 139°W, are used to examine the deep-ocean variability forced by ocean surface wind stress curl from August 1987 to June 1988. Bottom geostrophic currents are computed from the pressure gauge array,...
