Observations of temperature and pressure in the upper 100 m were taken with a towed thermistor chain in January 1980 north of Hawaii. The observations were taken as a part of a cooperative investigation of the North Pacific subtropical front entitled FRONTS-80. The chain was towed on four occasions over...
This report is concerned with environmental and animal internal temperatures in the intertidal zone at low tide. Daily sea surface temperatures at Agate Beach, Ore., are compared to weekly measurements made near-by. Greater range and fluctuations are revealed by daily measurements. Data are provided on animal internal temperatures at low...
An international Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE)
was conducted in the warm-pool region of the western equatorial Pacific Ocean over a four-month period from November 1992 through February 1993 (Webster and Lukas, 1992). Most of the oceanographic and meteorological observations were concentrated in the Intensive Flux Array (IFA) centered at...
A summary of the first year of the THEMIS observation program is presented. The observations were made from November, 1968 to November, 1969. The primary measurements were time series of current velocity with supplementary data of wind velocity. The emphasis is on the methods of observation and the procedures used...
This report presents observations from moorings of temperature, conductivity
and pressure, made during the Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX)
in March-April 1985.
The purpose of the temperature and conductivity measurements was to
provide time series from which inferences could be made about the vertical
displacement of the internal waves.
The Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX) was designed to study the internal wave and microstructure fields in the Beaufort Sea in the early spring. A major goal of the experiment was to verify the hypothesis that the internal wave and microstructure fields beneath the ice are far less energetic than...
This report presents time series measurements of velocity, temperature and conductivity made during the Lead Experiment (LEADEX). These observations were made in the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean, in the vicinity of 73°N, 144°W, during March-April 1992. Month-long observations at the base camp were made between the surface and 400 m...
When adult spawning and juvenile settling locations of marine fishes are
geographically separated, their early life history stages must rely on transport and
their own behavior to move them toward suitable habitats for successful recruitment
to the juvenile phase. Variations in climate may reduce the availability of spawning
and juvenile...
