Abstract: Satellite-tracked surface drifters deployed in September 1993 in the vicinity of the Kuril?Kamchatka Trench were advected onto the Pacific continental shelf of the Kuril Islands where they encountered strong (40?50 cm s?1) ...

Abstract: Ice-drift velocity records from coastal radar stations, combined with data from moored current meters and coastal wind stations, are used to examine sea-ice motion off the northeastern coast of Sakhalin Island in the Sea ...

Abstract: The authors describe a two-dimensional (vector) regressional model for examining the anisotropic response of ice drift and ocean current velocity (?drift velocity?) to surface wind forcing. Illustration of the method is ...

Abstract: The effects of reduced sampling schedules (duty cycles) on velocity statistics derived from satellite-tracked drifters in the northeast Pacific Ocean are investigated. Continuous segments of the drifter records (in which ...
