Real Time Oceanographic Analysis for the South Western Australian Area for July 1984 to August 1985.

Abstract

Attempts made at real time oceanographic analyses for the south-western Australian area are shown diagrammatically in the form of contour maps. Results for the period July 1984 to August 1985 are discussed. It is concluded that which present data sources useful sea surface temperature analyses should be possible in late spring, summer, and perhaps early autumn, but not in winter, when cloud coverage severely hinders satellite data acquisition. Subsurface analyses were not possible; almost all data used were for the sea surface.
