Abstract: A hydrographic survey (CTD) was conducted in the vicinity of the Iceland?Faeroe Island oceanic front (IFF) north of the Faeroe Islands during October 1980. It consisted of CTD transects on three horizontal scales ranging ...

Abstract: Changes in round-trip acoustc travel time (τ) measured between a bottom moored inverted echo sounder and the sea surface can be interpreted as changes in dynamic height (D) with suitable calibration information. The τ, D, ...

Abstract: A theoretical model of expendable bathythermograph (XBT) fall rate is reviewed, and a new form of fall-rate equation is proposed to include new-surface transient effects. Comparisons are made of T-7 XBT and CTD (conductivity, ...

Abstract: A new set of measurements made using an upward-looking broadband acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) is analyzed for ?surface velocity,? which previous investigations suggest is related to wind velocity. In the present ...

Abstract: Internal-wave energetics derived from moored acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) observations on the New Jersey shelf are described. Horizontal and vertical velocity components from three 40-day ADCP records acquired ...

Abstract: An anticyclonic mesoscale eddy, encountered during a hydrographic survey in the Sargasso Sea in September 1979, is described. Embedded in the eddy at a depth of 800 m was an isopycnal lens of anomalous water which extended ...

Abstract: An experiment was performed to measure the near-surface current by aiming horizontally two of the beams from an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) deployed at 0.6-m depth from an anchored (but rolling) ship. The ...

Abstract: As part of the Naval Research Laboratory and Office of Naval Research sponsored Physics of Coastal Remote Sensing Research Program, an experiment was conducted in September?October 1996 off Virginia Beach. Ocean surface ...
