This is the first data report of a program designed to study physical
processes in Oregon shelf waters by means of moored instrument arrays.
Various statistics and plots of smoothed data are presented for time
series of current velocity and of temperature. Data were collected in
July, August, September, and...
The area near Point Arguello has long been recognized as a location of strong
upwelling. A tongue of biologically active waters was observed in the earliest studies of
this region (Sverdrup and Allen, 1939). More recently, satellite estimates of chlorophyll by
the Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) on Nimbus-7 have...
The data contained in this report represents over 3000 individual scattering measurements taken in the equatorial Pacific in the vicinity of Johnston Island. The purpose of the measurements was to obtain data that would aid in the determination of a correct model for the mixing processes in the vicinity of...
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;...
CTD observations of temperature and salinity were made
off the coast of Peru between 12°S and 16°S from the
R/V EASTWARD, between 23 July and 16 August 1976. The
observations were made during Legs 0, 1, and 2 of JASON,
which was the middle phase of the JOINT-II project conducted...
This report presents data collected on six cruises made during the months May-October 1972 along the Oregon coast. Both complete data listings and sequential surface data contour charts are presented. The latter graphically display rapid changes in surface water characteristics on time scales as short as a few hours.
The...
