Several simple laboratory experiments have been conducted to study the dynamic behavior of the vector-averaging current meter (VACM) compass and vane follower. They demonstrate that the behavior of the compass and vane follower can be modeled as a damped linear harmonic oscillator for small-amplitude forcing. The combined eddy-current and bearing-friction...
Heat and salt balances are estimated over the northern California shelf from
early December 1988 through late February 1989 (winter) and from early March
through early May 1989 (spring) from moored meteorological and oceanographic time
series taken in 93 m of water 6.3 km from the coast. We find a...
