Sea surface temperature (SST) was measured by several instruments deployed from the research vessel Sally Ride in the Bay of Bengal for the Monsoon Intraseasonal Oscillations in the Bay of Bengal (MISO-BOB) 2019 field experiment. This data set presents 1 minute averages of 3 m SST from the Scripps Institution...
Sea surface temperature variations along the entire U.S. East Coast from 1875 to 2007 are characterized using a collection of historical observations from lighthouses and lightships combined with recent buoy and shore-based measurements. Long-term coastal temperature trends are warming in the Gulf of Maine [1.0° ± 0.3°C (100 yr)⁻¹] and...
In this thesis, the interpretation and reduction of ocean heat
flow measurements are discussed on the basis of theoretical models.
The instrument effect x heat flow measurements is investigated for the
case of long period measurements by studying the heat conduction
along the measurement probe for both steady and unsteady...
In this report we describe a preliminary version of a temperature/conductivity profiler that combines the calibration accuracy of a CTD with the vertical resolution of a microstructure instrument and the ease of deployment of an XBT. We also describe the results of a test of this version on a month-long...
Preliminary temperature microstructure profiles resulting from the FRONTS experiment in January 1980 are presented. Also included are selected profiles of the kinetic energy dissipation rate estimated by the Batchelor scale technique.
In comparison with solar radiation, the energy of geothermal
heat flowing through the sea bottom is extremely small; nevertheless,
this energy is not insignificant in the circulation of the bottom water.
Calculations indicate that in the deep basins of the South Atlantic the
water volume transport necessary to remove this...
This report is a preliminary presentation of temperature microstructure
data resulting from the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE) at Ocean
Station P (55°N, 145°W) during August-September 1977. During the MILE
experiment, the Caldwell research group conducted 381 casts over a period
of 21 days from the R/V OCEANOGRAPHER, using a Microstructure...
Temperature, salinity, sigma-t and dissipation profiles from the Rapid Sampling Vertical Profiler for six transects as part of the Coastal Transition zone pilot experiment, June 1987.
