Abstract: Minor alignment errors (?1°) can contaminate acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements of vertical velocities taken from a ship traveling at speed. The signature is consistently large positive or negative vertical ...

Abstract: Spatial homogeneity assumptions inherent in the conversion of directly measured acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) beam to Cartesian coordinates for the Janus configuration are investigated. These assumptions may be ...

Abstract: Using data from the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) and the Island Coastal Current Experiment, the internal tide off the west coast of the Vancouver Island was studied. Although the semidiurnal barotropic velocity ...

Abstract: An eigenvector (EV) method for the determination of directional spectra from heave, pitch and roll buoy data is presented. Both a direct and an iterative form (based on an algorithm by Pawka) of this data-adaptive procedure ...

Abstract: A simple, approximate formula for mean wind stress is given in terms of the mean and variance of the wind fluctuations over the averaging period. The formula is nonlinear with respect to the mean wind speed. The formula ...
