The Depth Dependence of Shear Finestructure off Point Arena and near Pioneer Seamount
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: High-resolution velocity profiles to depths of 1600 m were collected off Point Arena and near Pioneer Seamount, California. They reveal shear increasing with depth relative to the GM76 model spectrum. Using an empirical ...
Mapping Circulation in the Kuroshio Extension with an Array of Current and Pressure Recording Inverted Echo Sounders
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Kuroshio Extension System Study (KESS) aimed to quantify processes governing the variability of and the interaction between the Kuroshio Extension and the recirculation gyre. To meet this goal, a suite of instrumentation, ...
Four Current Meter Models Compared in Strong Currents in Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: even current meters representing four models on a stiffly buoyed mooring were placed for an 11-month deployment to intercompare their velocity measurements: two vector-measuring current meters (VMCMs), two Aanderaa recording ...
