A summary of the observations taken from moored stations and hydrographic surveys in POLYMODE Array III Cluster C is presented. Currents and water temperatures were measured at various depths, including: 150, 225, 300, 500, 750, 1500, 2500, and 4000 meters.
Hydrographic surveys were made during the deployment and recovery cruises....
During February, March and April 1974, the interdisciplinary Coastal
Upwelling Ecosystems Analysis experiment known as JOINT-I took place over
the continental shelf and slope near Cabo Corveiro in the NW African upwelling
region. As part of the field program, Oregon State University
made a series of repeated hydrographic surveys from...
The local and remote sources of variability of the South Atlantic Ocean are investigated using a set of numerical experiments and satellite data. A global, eddy-permitting, numerical simulation is analyzed to investigate the dynamical links between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and the Malvinas Current (MC). The model results indicate...
The BEST (Benguela Source and Transport) project was designed to investigate the form
of the Benguela Current and ratio of the Aguhlhas Current and South Atlantic Current
source waters masses. The transport of the Benguela Current and its variability was
measured by a moored array of instruments, inverted echo sounders...
The data described in this report were collected in support of the program, Abyssal Boundary Current Studies, funded by the National Science Foundation. This program was designed to improve our understanding of the structure and variability of the deep western boundary currents and to estimate their transport of heat and...
We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) on RN Endeavor during cruises E9608 (14 August to 1 September 1996) and E9704 (25 April to 15 May 1997). The cruises were conducted as part of the Office of Naval Research Coastal Mixing and Optics Accelerated Research...
Moored instrument records, drogue displacements, and hydrographic
observations are used in describing the coastal currents and
upwelling off Peru. The data were obtained over the continental shelf
near 15°S. during a two week study in late March and early April of
1969.
First order statistics and graphical representations of current...
