The response of Oregon shelf waters to wind fluctuations : differences and the transition between winter and summerSobey, Edwin J. C., 1948- 15 February 1977 (has links)
The physical characteristics of continental shelf waters off
Oregon during late winter and spring of 1975 are described and compared
with observations taken previously during summer. The currents
in winter are barotropic in the monthly means while in summer
the currents are baroclinic. Alongshore current fluctuations on the
time scale of a few days are depth dependent in winter but become
depth independent in summer. The current shear changes sign on the
several day time scale in winter while in summer the deeper currents
are always northward with respect to the near surface currents.
Alongshore coherences of sea level and currents indicate that
winter fluctuations generally propagate southward rather than northward
as previously observed in summer. These winter fluctuations in
alongshore currents also have onshore/offshore phase speeds that are
comparable in magnitude to their alongshore phase speeds. There is no
evidence for free continental shelf wave activity in winter although
forced waves (travelling predominately southward, as do the meteorological
disturbances) may exist. The Gill and Schumann (1974)
model, which predicts sea level from a knowledge of the alongshore
components of winds along the coastline, is tested for winter and
summer in 1975 and found to have some predictive ability for fluctuations
on the time scale of several days.
The transition from winter to summer is initiated in a dramatic
barotropic event and continues as a longer period baroclinic adjustment.
The former is marked by a sudden reversal of currents and a
lowering of sea level while the latter is marked by a slow rising of the
pycnocline and with it the layer of maximum vertical shear. Both the
barotropic changes at the transition event and the adjustment of the
density field, which occurs after the transition event, are directly
forced by the local wind. / Graduation date: 1977

Geopotential anomaly and geostrophic flow off Newport, OregonLee, Kuo-heng 25 April 1967 (has links)
The geopotential anomalies and the average meridional geostrophic
flow off Newport, Oregon, were computed from the data taken
during twenty-one hydrographic cruises.
The annual average of geopotential anomaly was 1.31 dynamic
meters with a seasonal variation of the order of 14 dynamic centimeters.
Highest values of geopotential anomaly occurred in September;
lowest values occurred in April. Both the highest and lowest
value of geopotential anomaly occurred at 105 nautical miles offshore.
The currents found by dynamic computation were weak and irregular,
generally 5 cm/sec or less. The direction of the average
meridional geostrophic flow varied with season. Within 105 nautical
miles of the coast, flow was southward in summer, northward in
winter. Beyond 105 nautical miles from the coast, flow directions reversed,
that is, flow was northward in summer and southward in
winter. / Graduation date: 1967
