Mesoscale Current Fields Observed with a Shipboard Profiling Acoustic Current Meter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the near-surface currents obtained with a shipboard profiling acoustic current meter during the POLYMODE Local Dynamics Experiment are discussed. The large-scale spatial structure of the directly measured ...
Use of Underwater Gliders for Acoustic Data Retrieval from Subsurface Oceanographic Instrumentation and Bidirectional Communication in the Deep Ocean
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: any fixed oceanographic instruments and observing systems are deployed in the water column or on the seafloor for extended periods of time without any expression at the sea surface. To routinely communicate with such ...
A Study of Geostrophy in Tropical Pacific Ocean Currents during the NORPAX Tahiti Shuttle using a Shipboard Doppler Acoustic Current Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Continuous velocity measurements from a shipboard Doppler acoustic long on the NORPAX shuttle experiment in the central equatorial Pacific are presented. The time mean of these velocities shows the classical zonal equatorial ...
