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...
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...
A method is described for determining the absolute dynamic topography of the sea surface. Using hydrographic and wind data obtained in 1963, the surface topography and the horizontal and vertical mass transports off the southeast Arabian coast during the summer monsoon are calculated. As indicated by the calculations, upwelling occurs...
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...
Sea level and current observations made over the Oregon
continental shelf exhibit wavelike characteristics in a frequency band
from approximately 0.15 to 0.45 cpd. In a narrow band around
0.22 cpd the current-sea level relationship is consistent with the
predicted values for the first mode of Robinson's continental shelf
waves....
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...
