SOFAR VELOCITY CHART OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

Abstract

A SOFAR velocity chart of the Pacific Ocean is presented. The chart displays velocity contours at 2-meter-per-second intervals. A steep velocity gradient is shown at the convergence of the Kuroshio and the Oyashio off the Kuril Islands. Seasonal variations of SOFAR velocity were not detected. (Author)
