RISStructure of Velocity and Temperature in the Northeast Pacific as Measured with Lagrangian Drifters in Fall 1987
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In October 1987, 49 Lagrangian surface drifters (TRISTAR-II) were released in a 200-km ? 200-km square area southeast of Ocean Station Papa as part of the OCEAN STORMS Experiment. The drifters measured temperature at the ...
Estimation and Assessment of Errors Related to Antenna Pattern Distortion in CODAR SeaSonde High-Frequency Radar Ocean Current Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A simulation-based investigation of errors in HF radar?derived, near-surface ocean current measurements is presented. The simulation model is specific to Coastal Ocean Dynamics Application Radar (CODAR) SeaSonde radar ...
Wind-Driven Motions in the Northeast Pacific as Measured by Lagrangian Drifters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis is presented of the time-dependent motion of 47 surface drifters in the northeast Pacific during fall 1987 and 16 drifters in fall and winter 1989/90. The drifters were designed at 15-m depth and were designed to ...
Observations of the Internal Tide in Monterey Canyon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Data from two shipboard experiments in 1994, designed to observe the semidiurnal internal tide in Monterey Canyon, reveal semidiurnal currents of about 20 cm s?1, which is an order of magnitude larger than the estimated ...
