  • Technical Report
    A compilation of moored current meter and wind observations : volume V (1966 measurements)
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1971-07) Tarbell, Susan A. ; Webster, Ferris
    Summaries of wind and current measurements made with current· meters and wind recorders by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution during the year 1966 are presented. Averaged quantities are presented in computer generated output as histograms, basic statistics, spectra, progressive vector diagrams, and east-north component plots.

    A compilation of moored current meter observations : volume I
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1965-08) Webster, Ferris ; Fofonoff, Nicholas P.
    Summaries of current measurements made with Richardson current meters at three moored stations in the Western North Atlantic are presented. Averaged quantities are presented in the form of computer-plotted curves.

    Some current measurements in the Sargasso Sea
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1966-03) Day, C. Godfrey ; Webster, Ferris
    Long-term current measurements at depths of 50 and 100m obtained with Richardson current meters at two deep-water moorings south of Bermuda are reported. The records are dominated by anticyclonic rotations which appear and degenerate, possibly in response to the passage of storms. Spectral analysis of the records indicates that this motion has a period of 24 hours at a depth of 50 m, and 25·3 hours at a depth of 100m. No explanation is given to account for this difference in period over a 50-m separation. Both records indicate the existence of semidiurnal tidal motion. The long-term motions at both depths indicate a systematic change in the net direction of flow over a three-month period.

    A compilation of moored current meter observations volume II
    (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1966-11) Webster, Ferris ; Fofonoff, Nicholas P.
    Summaries of current measurements made with Richardson current meters at a group of moored stations near Bermuda, and at a single station south of Bermuda are presented. Averaged quantities are presented in the form of computer-plotted curves.
