Abstract
  • 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 coastal upwelling jet turns offshore in the vicinity of a coastal promontory, crosses the steep topography of the continental margin and becomes an oceanic jet. Unique aspects of the sampling discussed in this report are: the first use of the OSU SeaSoar vehicles over shallow topography by towing them on a bare cable (without fairing); the first use of dual Sea-Bird CTD sensors where one of the conductivity-temperature sensor pairs is mounted pointing forward through the SeaSoar nose; and post-processing of the SeaSoar conductivity-temperature data using an optimal thermal mass correction, while allowing the time constant to be weakly proportional to the observed lag between temperature and conductivity.
