Abstract: Data from current moorings at four sites near the shelf break in the Gulf of Alaska are used to present information on the flow, to examine the effects of local winds, and especially to investigate momentum transfer between ...

Abstract: Long-term records from four current meters in the Alaskan Stream off Kodiak Island are presented. The net flows decreases with depth and appeared to be in approximate geostrophic equilibrium. Large fluctuations were not ...

Abstract: A current record during February -August 1980 over the continental slope off Kodiak Island provided the first Eulerian measurements in the high-speed region of the Alaskan Stream. The net flow at 980 m during the 6-month ...

Abstract: Moored current-meter observations obtained from upstream and downstream locations in Shelikof Strait, between Kodiak and Afognak Islands and the Alaskan mainland in the northwest Gulf of Alaska, show a considerable amount ...

Abstract: Extensive hydrographic surveys were conducted in Shelikof Strait in March and October 1985. The data are used to describe circulation and property distributions and the changes that occurred. The upper layer flows to the ...

Abstract: Conductivity and temperature versus depth (CTD) and expendable bathythermograph (XBT) data taken during the ice-free seasons of 1975?77 define a structural front paralleling the 50 m isobath. This front forms a narrow ...
