Structure and kinematics of the permanent oceanic front off the Oregon coast

Using the hydrographic data collected by the ACONA from June
1961 to May 1963, the Oregon coastal front has been examined. Representative
sigma-t surfaces were chosen to delineate the front, and
changes in position of these surfaces with time were used to obtain
zonal flow rates for the frontal and surface layers.
From May to early October upwelling resulted in offshore flow.
Onshore flow was indicated from late October to January, and indeterminate
zonal flow occurred during the remainder of the year. Flow
within the front agreed with these surface flows in ten of the fourteen
observational periods. / Graduation date: 1964
