Summaries of current and temperature measurements from three moorings
in the 1978 Joint Air-Sea Interaction Project . (JASIN) are presented; the
moorings are WHOI/JASIN numbers 651/Wl, 652/W2, and 653/W3. The instruments
were either Vector Averaging Current Meters (VACM), Scripps Institution of
Oceanography Vector Measuring Current Meters (VMCM) , or Neil Brown Acoustic
Current Meters (ACM). Displays include time series, histograms, progressive
vector diagrams, scatter plots, and spectra; statistics are given for the
entire deployment period (some 40 days) and for each 5-day segment.
Additional measurements include pressure and vertical temperature
gradient. Wind records and other meteorological observations from one of
the moorings are given, as well as partial wind records from another JASIN
mooring (H2) .

An electromagnetic method for measuring the velocities of ocean currents from a ship under way
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1950-03)During the past four years a deliberate effort has been made at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution to devise methods of kinematic observation generally suited to the needs of oceanographers. One result of this work, ... -
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 ... -
Near-surface ocean current sensors : problems and performance
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1979-12)When current meters are used to measure mean horizontal currents in surface gravity waves, immunity to the vertical component of flow is important, even though the net vertical flow averages to zero and is normal to the ...
