Abstract: Observations of the hydrographic regime over the continental shelf off Oregon from the R/V Yaquina during the summer of 1972 showed the presence of an alongshore, subsurface ribbon of relatively cool water. Its properties ...

Abstract: Sea level variations and currents on the Oregon continental shelf exhibit wavelike characteristics in a frequency band from approximately 0.15 to 0.45 cycle per day (cpd). Shelf wave dispersion curves and eigenfunctions ...

Abstract: The U.S. Weather Bureau has been experimenting with a radar operating on the Doppler principle to determine whether apparatus of this type would detect and uniquely identify tornadoes. The principles of Doppler radar as ...

Abstract: Time series of coastal sea level during 1976?77, from 2°12?S to 17°S along the west coast of South America, show that low-frequency, ? < 0.25 cycles per day (cpd), fluctuations propagate poleward with the phase speed of ...

Abstract: The low-frequency [?<0.5 cycle per day (cpd)] current fluctuations at four depths in 100 m of waterhave been investigated for two stations on the continental shelf off the coast of Oregon. One station, DB-7,was maintained ...

Abstract: An analysis is presented of low-frequency (<0.4 cpd) fluctuations in currents, temperature and tide gage data collected during the March-September 1976 segment of the CUEA JOINT-II experiment off the coast of Peru. The ...

Abstract: The currents observed over the shelf and slope during the Australian Coastal Experiment (ACE) are used to determine the amplitudes (as functions of time) of the first three coastal-trapped wave (CTW) modes at three locations ...

Abstract: Accurate ship velocity is important for determining absolute currents from acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements. In this paper, the authors describe the application of two methods to improve the quality ...

Abstract: We studied the frontal zone of the coastal upwelling region off Oregon, from observations made in two successive years. The measurements were made between July and September in 1965 and 1966. The alongshore flow field was ...

Abstract: This note studies the response of a simple linear baroclinic coastal-upwelling model to fluctuating longshore winds. Correlations between wind stress and velocities are computed explicitly. It is shown that these correlations ...
