Temperature sections along the C-line over the shelf off Cabo Nazca, Peru from moored current meters : 18 March-10 May 1977 and CTD observations, 5 March-15 May 1977

Creator:

Brink, Kenneth H., Gilbert, William E., and Huyer, Adriana, 1945-

Abstract:

Over the continental shelf at 15°S off Peru, sigma-t is a well-defined function of temperature (Figure 1) and hence temperature alone may be used to monitor the changes in stratification, to test the thermal wind equation, and to monitor the hydrographic response to wind events. In this report we present...
