Abstract: In May 1980 an 18-day sequence of velocity profiles of the top 600 m of the sea was collected off the coast of Southern California. The measurements were obtained using a pair of Doppler sonars mounted on the Research ...

Abstract: During May of 1980 an internal-wave-measurement experiment was conducted from the Research Platform FLIP off the California coast. This paper discusses an 18-day sequence of velocity profiles obtained during the experiment ...

Abstract: Repeat-sequence coding is a robust method for improving the precision of velocity estimates from incoherent Doppler sounders. The method involves transmitting a number of repeats of a broadband ?subcode.? The Doppler shift ...

Abstract: n situ observations of tidally driven turbulence were obtained in a small channel that transects the crest of the Mendocino Ridge, a site of mixed (diurnal and semidiurnal) tides. Diurnal tides are subinertial at this ...

Abstract: Ocean wave energy is used to drive a buoyant instrument platform down a wire suspended from a surface float. At the lower terminus of the profiling range, the cam that rectifies wave vertical motion is released and the ...
