Abstract: Data obtained at a time-series station during intense coastal upwelling off Oregon were applied to a model of heat conservation for the upper 8 m, and a thermal eddy diffusivity (horizontal) of 300 M2s?1 was computed. ...

Abstract: Upper-ocean current and temperature records from neat 0°, 110°W are compared with Galapagos Island sea level measurements (0°3?S, 91°28?W) for the period March 1980 to July 1981. Low-frequency (periods greater than 30 days) ...

Abstract: Depth-averaged current shears computed from shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and moored Savonius rotor and vane vector-averaging current meter (VACM) measurements are compared at 35, 62.5, 100 and 140 m ...

Abstract: The vertical structure of low frequency velocity and temperature variability in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean is examined using surface and subsurface moored current meter data from 0°, 110°W between 20 and 3027 m ...

Abstract: The global band wind analysis produced by the Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center (FNOC) has been compared with direct buoy observations of winds in the Central Equatorial Experiment. Using the six months of available data ...

Abstract: Although the distribution of sunshine is symmetrical about the equator, the earth's climate is not. Climatic asymmetries are prominent in the eastern tropical Pacific and Atlantic Oceans where the regions of maximum sea ...
