A multivariate estimate of the cold season atmospheric response to North Pacific SST variability
(American Meteorological Society, 2018-03-12)The Generalized Equilibrium Feedback Analysis (GEFA) is used to distinguish the influence of the Oyashio Extension (OE) and the Kuroshio Extension (KE) variability on the atmosphere from 1979 to 2014 from that of the main ... -
High-resolution and high-precision correlation of dark and light layers in the Quaternary hemipelagic sediments of the Japan Sea recovered during IODP Expedition 346
(Springer, 2018-03-26)The Quaternary hemipelagic sediments of the Japan Sea are characterized by centimeter- to decimeter-scale alternation of dark and light clay to silty clay, which are bio-siliceous and/or bio-calcareous to a various degree. ... -
Connection between encounter volume and diffusivity in geophysical flows
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union, 2018-04-04)Trajectory encounter volume – the volume of fluid that passes close to a reference fluid parcel over some time interval – has been recently introduced as a measure of mixing potential of a flow. Diffusivity is the most ... -
Extremes in East African hydroclimate and links to Indo-Pacific variability on interannual to decadal timescales
(2017-07)East African hydroclimate exhibits considerable variability across a range of timescales, with implications for its population that depends on the region’s two rainy seasons. Recent work demonstrated that current ... -
Sediment trap gel images of settled particles that were collected from the Sargasso Sea between 2013 and 2014.
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-04-24)Sinking particle sizes span many orders of magnitude and the relative influence of small particles on carbon export compared to large particles has not been resolved. To determine the influence of particle size on carbon ... -
Profiling float surface dates, times and locations from the Sargasso Sea from 2013 to 2014.

Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-04-24)Optical proxy measurements of sinking particle flux and water-column bio-optical profiles were obtained from profiling floats in the Sargasso Sea to expand the number of particle flux observations in the critical and ... -
Factory and field calibration data for float oxygen, beam transmission, backscatter, chlorophyll fluorescence and CDOM sensors from the Sargasso Sea from 2013-2014.
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-04-24)Optical proxy measurements of sinking particle flux and water-column bio-optical profiles were obtained from profiling floats in the Sargasso Sea to expand the number of particle flux observations in the critical and ... -
Carbon and nitrogen flux measurements from the Sargasso Sea from 2013-2014.
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-04-24)Nearly-continuous, optical sediment trap proxy measurements of particle flux were obtained in the Sargasso Sea over nearly a year by a beam transmissometer mounted vertically on quasi-Lagrangian profiling floats. Fluxes ... -

Performance characteristics of some wind sensors
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1981-12)Summaries of performance data on three wind recorder sensor sets are presented a W.H.O.I.-built vane and cup set mounted on a vector averaging current meter (VAWR), a set of standard orthogonal propellers from the vector ... -
Bibliography of socio-economic studies : fisheries of the northeast U.S.
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1981-11)This bibliography of social and economic studies of the fisheries of the Northeast United States (Maine to North Carolina) includes annotated listings for each entry and an index of key words for cross-referencing. We ... -
Gulf Stream trajectories measured with free-drifting buoys
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1981-10)During 1975-78, 35 free-drifting buoys measured surface currents in the Gulf Stream region. The buoy trajectories trace numerous paths of the Stream and show that the Stream is strongly influenced by the New England ... -
Drifting vertical current meter, moored aanderaa thermistor chain, and XBT data : Jasin 1978 Atlantis-II cruise (102)
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1981-10)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 ... -
Acoustically and visually tracked drogue measurements of nearsurface water velocities in Lake Huron, plus observations of a coastal upwelling
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1981-10)During July and August of 1980 our research group measured nearsurface water velocities near the eastern coast of Lake Huron by tracking drogues using acoustic travel time and compass sighting techniques. The velocity fields ... -
A four-dimensional primitive equation model for coupled coastal - deep ocean studies
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1981-10)A prototype four-dimensional (x,y,z,t) continental shelf/deep ocean model is described. In its present form, the model incorporates the effects of finite-amplitude topography, advective nonlinearities, and variable st ... -
