A Compilation of Moored Current-Meter Data from Three Topographic Experiments: The Bermuda Microstructure Array, The Island Trapped Waves Array and the Gibbs Fracture Zone Array. Volume 27

Abstract

This report is a summary of information collected from three separate oceanographic experiments, each with three moorings, whose objectives were to study the influence of topography on low-frequency motions. Two arrays were set near Bermuda and one in the Charlie-Gibbs Fracture Zone (53 deg N, 34 deg W). All the moorings were recovered after nine or thirteen months at sea. Temperature and current velocity data are displayed graphically as time series plots, histograms and spectra. Progressive vector plots and pressure time series are also presented. The data are summarized in statistical tables.
