The report presents summaries of three data sets taken at and in the
vicinity of the oceanographic moorings deployed in the 1978 Joint Air-Sea
Inte raction Project (JASIN). The data sets are: (1) the temperature,
pressure and vertical motion records from the freely drifting Vertical
Current Meters (VCMs) deployed from the ATLANTIS II, (2) the temperature
data from the Aanderaa thermistor chains on W.H.O.I. mooring 653,
designated as JASIN mooring W3, and (3) the expendable bathythermograph
(XBT) data collected from the ATLANTIS II while participating in the
JASIN Project.

Implementation of the vortex force formalism in the coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system for inner shelf and surf zone applications
(2012-01)The coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport modeling system (COAWST) enables simulations that integrate oceanic, atmospheric, wave and morphological processes in the coastal ocean. Within the modeling system, the ... -
Seasonal oscillations in a mid-latitude ocean with barriers to deep flow
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1978-08)A two-layer linear analytic model is used to study the response of the mid-latitude ocean to the seasonal variation of the windstress. The most important component of the response is a barotropic quasi-steady Sverdrup ... -
Strengthening of the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent in the SODA reanalysis : mechanisms, ocean dynamics, and implications
(American Meteorological Society, 2014-03-15)Several recent studies utilizing global climate models predict that the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC) will strengthen over the twenty-first century. Here, historical changes in the tropical Pacific are investigated ...
