On the Effect of Precipitation and Runoff on Coastal Circulation in the Gulf of Alaska
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Surface waters in the Gulf of Alaska undergo a net dilution throughout most of the. year since the regional precipitation exceeds evaporation. Recent hydrographic data give evidence that seasonal dynamic height fluctuations ...
A Note Comparing Historical Sea Surface Temperature Observations at Ocean Station P
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two series of sea surface temperature observations reported for Station P (50°N, 145°W) during the period 1952?65 are compared. One series consists of either engine intake or surface bucket temperature measurements (TS) ...
On the Ocean Temperature Distribution in the Gulf of Alaska, 1974–1975
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Infrared data gathered by the NOAA 3 and 4 satellites have made it possible to construct a detailed synoptic view of sea surface temperatures in the northern Gulf of Alaska. These satellite data are compared with simultaneous ...
Circulation in the Bering Sea, 1982–83, Based on Satellite-Tracked Drifter Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A satellite-tracked drifting buoy, deployed unintentionally in the Bering Sea in 1982, completed a circuit of that basin in about one year. During its cyclonic passage around the Bering Sea, it experienced many different ...
Coastal Flow in the Northern Gulf of Alaska as Observed by Dynamic Topography and Satellite-Tracked Drogued Drift Buoys
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Drifting buoys and dynamic topography over the continental shelf in the northern Gulf of Alaska are used to describe the coastal circulation and flow in the offshelf Alaska Current. One permanent anti-cyclonic eddy is ...
