CTD observations were made in the Code region near Pt. Arena on the northern California coast at 39°N, off Crescent City at 41°54 1 N, off Half Moon Bay at 37°25'N and off Pt. Purisima at 34°45'N during 2-13 July 1981. The observations in the Code region included three repeated...
CTD observations were made in the Code region near Pt. Arena on
the northern California coast at 39°N, off Five Mile Point at 43°13'N,
off Crescent City at 41°54'N, and off Half Moon Bay at 370 25'N,
during 17-29 May 1981. The observations in the Code region included
six repeated...
This report documents oceanographic and meteorological measurements made from instruments deployed on four moorings over the continental shelf west of Oregon, from spring through
summer, 1999. These moorings were a component of an observational and numerical modeling program to study the response of the coastal ocean to wind forcing.
The...
A summary of one phase of a direct observational program conducted
in the coastal region off Oregon is presented. The measurements were
made primarily on the continental shelf in late coastal upwelling season
(August and September 1966). The principal measurements were time
series of horizontal current velocity and temperature fields;...
Our component of the TROPIC HEAT 1987 experiment was
designed to investigate a number of questions raised by our
TROPIC HEAT 1984 measurements (Park et al, 1985; Mourn and
Caldwell, 1985; Mourn et al, 1986; Chereskin et al, 1986; Mourn et
al; 1987). In particular, the goals of LEG 2...
The objectives were to bathymetrically survey areas in the Central Gulf of California where laminated sediments were discovered previously, core with lightweight marine geologic gravity corer, and recover well preserved surface sediment up to 2-3 meters in length. These laminated sediments will essentially be used to establish a model of...
This report presents observations from two programs in 1975, WISP and UP-75 to study circulation off Oregon. WISP was a study of the transition between the winter and spring regimes, and UP-75 was designed to determine whether there is a poleward undercurrent along the continental slope during the upwellinq season....
MILDEX, a mixed layer dynamics experiment, began
October 21, 1983 and lasted until November 16, 1983.
R.P. Flip, R.V. Wecoma and R.V. Acania rendezvoused at
34° N, 127° W to participate in joint observations of
the mixed layer and upper ocean. This report contains
data from the WAve Zone Profiler,...
Observations were made southeast of New Zealand from April 1978 to May 1980 with the objectives of investigating the dynamics of low-frequency motions and their effects on the Antarctic Circumpolar Current; and the formation of subantarctic mode water on Campbell Plateau. Self-recording instruments were deployed during a 7-month period from...
