Analyses of Data from Fine Structure and Circulation Studies in the Gulf of California

Abstract

The objective of this proposal was to complete the analysis and manuscripts of the CTD data collected in the Gulf of California. The most important accomplishment of the present reporting period has been completion, submission for publication to Deep Sea Research and acceptance, subject to minor modifications requested by a referee, of a paper by Ph.D. student Juan Rodrigues-Sero and M.C. Hendershott describing fine structure in the Gulf of California. The title is 'Vertical Temperature Gradient Finestructure Spectra in the Gulf of California.' We have also made significant progress on a manuscript with A. de Leon and A. Badan Dangon, of CICESE (Ensenada, Mexico) in which ADCP data collected in the northern Gulf of California in January 1990 are processed to extract the tidal velocity field there. The initial reduction of observations is complete, but we wish to include in the publication a comparison with tidal model results to be provided by researchers at CICESE and then to re-analyze the data using the model fields as a basis set rather than simple polynomials in the space coordinates.... Fine structure, Mixing, ADCP Velocities, Tidal velocities.
