A Compilation of Moored Current Meter and Wind Recorder Data. Volume XVIII. (JASIN 1978, Moorings 651-653).

Abstract

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/W1, 652/W2, and 653/W3. The instruments were either Vector Averaging Current Meters (VACM), Scripps Institution of Oceanography Vector Measuring Currents 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). (Author)
