A Compilation of Observations from Moored Current Meters and Thermographs (And of Complementary Oceanographic and Atmospheric Data). Volume II. Oregon Continental Shelf, August-September 1966

摘要

A summary of one phase of a direct observational program conducted in the costal region off Oregon is presented. The measurements were made primarily on the continental shelf in late coastal upwelling season. The principal measurements were time series of horizontal current velocity and temperature fields; these observations were made with an array of moored, recording meters. Supplementary measurements of hydrographic variables, wind, atmospheric pressure, and mean sea level were also made. The emphasis of this data report is on the graphical and tabular display of first-order statistics. Limited descriptive remarks are made in order to provide some interpretation for these initial results. More through analyses and discussions of the observations are expected to follow from this stage of analysis. (Author)
