description abstract | Depth-averaged current shears computed from shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) and moored Savonius rotor and vane vector-averaging current meter (VACM) measurements are compared at 35, 62.5, 100 and 140 m depths within 7 km of each other near 0°, 140°W during a 12-day interval in November 1984. The agreement between the VACM and ADCP shears was excellent. The average root-mean-square difference of hourly shear values was small, approximately 0.21 ? 10?2 s?1, and the average correlation coefficient was 0.90. Spectral estimates were equivalent to within 95% significance level and the VACM and ADCP shears were 95% statistically coherent with zero phase difference for frequencies below 0.2 cycles per hour. | |
