RISObservations of the Deepening of the Wind-Mixed Layer in the Northeast Pacific Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of winds, currents and temperature are used to describe the response of the upper ocean in the northeast Pacific to the passage of an August 1971 synoptic-scale meteorological disturbance. The experiment was ...
Comparison of Upper Ocean VACM and VMCM Observations in the Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements from a Savonius rotor and vane vector-averaging current meter (VACM) and dual orthogonal propeller vector-measuring current meter (VMCM) placed 1 m apart beneath a surface-following buoy moored on the Pacific ...
Moored Surface Wind Observations at Four Sites along the Pacific Equator between 140° and 95°W
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mooted surface wind measurements were recorded along the Pacific equator at 140°, 124°, 110°, and 95°W during portions of 1980?85. Minimum record length is one year. The annual mean and monthly mean westward speeds at 110°W ...
Description of Wind and of Upper Ocean Current and Temperature Variations on the Continental Shelf off Northwest Africa during March and April 1974
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of winds and of near-surface temperatures and currents made during March and April 1974 on the continental shelf off northwest Africa were extremely time-dependent. Alternating land and sea breezes were ...
Visiting TOGA's Past
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The origin of the Tropical Oceans-Global Atmosphere (TOGA) Program was closely related to the response of global atmospheric circulation to sea surface temperature variations in the tropical Pacific Ocean, which is evident ...
Variability of Near-Surface Currents in the Atlantic North Equatorial Countercurrent during GATE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of wind at 5 m height, currents at 7.6, 15.4. 21.4 and 27.5 m depths, and temperature at 19 depths between 0.4 and 43.3 m depths were made from 19 August to 12 September 1974 at 8°41?N, 23°10?W (Site E3 of the ...
Surface Wind Measurements and Low-Level Cloud Motion Vectors near the Intertropical Convergence Zone In the Central Pacific Ocean from November 1977 to March 1978
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Moored buoy wind measurements were made at 15 min intervals at 3.5 m height at 6, 7 and 8°N along 150°W in the central equatorial Pacific from November 1977 to March 1978. During November, December and January the Intertropical ...
Comparison of Low-Level Cloud Motion Vectors and Moored Buoy Winds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Moored buoy wind measurements made at 3 m height at three sites (8°27?N, 150°45?W; 0°, 150°W; 0°, 125°W) in the central equatorial Pacific during 1976 and 1977 were compared with satellite-derived low-level (?1 km) cloud ...
Measurements of Near-Surface Wind Stress Over an Upwelling Region Near the Oregon Coast
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes the temporal and spatial variations of the wind stress (computed from the square of the wind velocity vector) and wind-stress curl recorded during July and August 1973 at two moored buoy stations, one ...
On the Accuracy of Monthly Mean Wind Speeds over the Equatorial Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Yearlong in situ surface wind measurements at three sites along the Pacific equator (95°, 110°, 152°W) are used to estimate the required number of random observations per month for monthly mean wind speed components accurate ...
