A Study of the Antilles Current Using Moored Current Meter Arrays
Author: William E. Maloney

Category : Antilles Current
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Buoyed arrays of 'Richardson-type' current meters were emplaced and retrieved from a location at 25.5 degrees north latitude and 72.5 degrees west longitude. The locale is in a region of the Antilles Current approximately 225 nautical miles east of Eluthra in the Bahamas. Measurements were made during 25 June to 13 July, 1965 and again during 24 January to 8 February, 1966. Summer measurements were concentrated in the upper layers, and winter measurements were concentrated in the lower layers. Basic data consist of 50 second averages of current speed and directions taken every 10 minutes. Frequency distributions of speed and directions were prepared from these data. Hourly and daily averages were computed for all data showing time continuity. Measurements from the same depth levels on different moorings for the same time period show good correlation. The agreement from these comparison lends confidence that current data are valid. The hourly averages and daily averages show trends in speed and direction, particularly in the upper layers, which are related to baroclinic adjustment in the water down to about 2000 meters depth. Data at all depths show tidal period fluctuations. The mean current structure for summer and winter periods are deduced from the observations and show that during summer mass transport toward the Gulf Stream is sufficient to account for the downstream augmentation. Winter observations show a different pattern of flow which is convergent on the Bahama Bank.

A Compilation of Moored Current Meter Data, White Horse Profiles and Associated Oceanographic Observations

Pages : 1488
Book Description
Current and temperature measurements are presented from instruments deployed during May of 1976 in the western Indian Ocean, between 50 deg E and 57 deg E and between 1 deg S and 5 deg N. The experiment was part of the INDEX program. Seven mooring sites were occupied. Fourteen current meters and five temperature/pressure recorders were on WHOI moorings at 4 of the sites. Two current meters and eleven temperature/pressure recorders were on MIT moorings at 3 sites. Most of resulting data records are of eight months duration. A current profiler, the White Horse, was also used, and 41 profiles were taken over a six-week period. Basic data from the current meters are presented in statistical tables and graphically as scatter plots, progressive vector plots, spectral plots and time series plots. Filtered time series are shown in composite displays. Basic White Horse data are presented as east and north current component profiles, position plots and perspective vector plots. Selected CTD data are displayed as plots of potential temperature and salinity versus pressure, and as T-S diagrams. Data from four XBT sections are displayed graphically.
