The primary objectives of R/V Wecoma cruise W9907C were to: 1) collect threedimensional fields of temperature, salinity, and light absorption and attenuation using the towed, undulating vehicle SeaSoar; 2) collect 3-D fields of velocity using shipboard ADCP; 3) to make turbulence profiles along a single cross-shelf transect; and 4) locate,...
This report summarizes the SeaSoar and CTD observations from R/V Wecoma cruise
W9408A (23 August to 2 September 1994) conducted as part of the Coastal Jet Separation
(CJS) experiment, under funding from the National Science Foundation. The goal of this
study is to establish how and why a strong alongshore...
This data report contains observations made from R/P FLIP as part of the first process-oriented NORPAX (North Pacific Experiment) experiment. The experiment was named POLE to indicate that the horizontal extent of sampling was small compared to the largest scale investigated in NORPAX.
The part of the experiment reported here...
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.
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...
Hydroacoustic tertiary (T-) waves are seismically generated acoustic waves that propagate
over great distances in the ocean sound channel with little loss in signal strength.
Hydrophone recorded T-waves can provide a lower earthquake detection threshold and an
improved epicenter location accuracy for oceanic earthquakes than land-based seismic
networks. Thus detection...

We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) on RN Wecoma during cruise W9508b, 17-27 August 1995. Results from the short half-day cruise W9508c on 31 August 1995 are also shown. The ADCP processing procedures for W9508b are described in detail. This cruise was part of...
Meteorological, sea surface temperature, and coastal sea level data were collected along the west coast of North America from northern Baja California to the Alaska/British Columbia border from 1980 to mid-1984 for the large-scale component of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE). This report presents statistical summaries and plots of...
