Download or read book Measurements of Thermal Structure Between Southern California and Hawaii with the Thermistor Chain written by Eugene Cecil LaFond and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study was made of the thermal structure of the upper 800 feet of the sea by towing the NEL thermistor chain in deep water between San Diego, California, and Honolulu, Hawaii. The median vertical (slope) in temperature sections proved to be 0 degress 16 min. and the 70-percentile (slope), 0 degrees 30 min., and the significant high frequency peaks in the power spectrum of isotherm depths are more numerous in the central part of the section between Hawaii and California.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time-dependent horizontal-temperature gradients were computed from vertical-temperature cross sections taken with the towed thermistor chain in 17 areas of the eastern North Pacific. The horizontal gradients were found to be generally smaller than the vertical gradients by two orders of magnitude. The horizontal-gradient field alternated regularly in sign, implying a dominant frequency of internal waves or convection cells (with a corresponding wavelength of 0.72 nautical mile). The horizontal gradient in the thermocline can be predicted from the measured vertical gradient by means of the equation: dT/dx = 0.0047(dT/dz) to the 0.71 power. On the basis of these results, plus a single bathythermograph lowering, a simplified predictive model of the horizontal-temperature gradients was constructed. (Author).

Download or read book Thermal Structure Through the California Front written by Eugene Cecil LaFond and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California Front, the boundary region between the Eastern North Pacific Central Water and the Transition Water, is approximately 170 mi wide, and is centered approximately 530 mi off the California Coast. (This region contains large anomalies in water structure that influence sound transmission.) The location of the maximum horizontal change in water properties was established from serial oceanographic stations, and the detail of thermal and current structures was obtained with a towed thermistor chain and attached current meters. The boundary is characterized by stronger than normal horizontal temperature (and salinity) gradients; large vertical changes in isotherm depths; temperature inversions; a large surface temperature gradient; and a thermocline separation. Temperature inversions produce sound channels above the level of increased temperature. Measured current shear shows relative current in the upper layers to be in a southerly direction on the eastern side of the boundary and in a westerly direction on the western side; however, current shear inside the boundary regions was in diverse directions.

This book was released on 1962 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identi iers: Isotherms. Ocean graphic factors pertinent to the behavi r of underwater sound and to surface and subsurface navigati n ere investigated. The average slopes, autocorrelation, and power spectra of the isotherms obtained with the NEL thermistor chain on the different legs of a deep-water cruise show that many internal aves are of very long peri . The spectra appear to be continuous AT VERY LOW FREQUENCIES AND TO POSSESS MINOR PEAKS AT HIGHER FREQUENCIES. The records of circular tows with the chain establi h that the thermal structure is complex. Although the circular paths followed were too mall t clearly de n trate signi icant motion in any particular direction, the data obtained do reveal t at ave crests and troughs of a generally similar type were crossed in all directions of tow. Recommendations are: (1) continue evelopment of the thermistor chain to improve the quality, accuracy, and reliability of the data; (2) make detailed studies of the thermocline and its associated internal waves by use of the chain, which includes studies of the effects on the thermocline of islands, shoals, coastal configuration, tides, currents, upwelling, river runoff, water mass boundaries, storms, and seasons; and (3) procure electronic equipment to provide digital tape records of temperature- epth or isotherm-depth data and still retain the present analog recording system.

Download or read book Vertical and Horizontal Thermal Structures in the Sea written by Eugene Cecil LaFond and published by . This book was released on 1966 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sea temperature structure of the upper layers was investigated by the use of a thermistor chain towed off the southern extremity of Baja California, Mexico, which revealed vertical and horizontal motion, large scale turbulence, and possible Doppler effects. The thermoclines were categorized in four types, smooth, normal, rough, and irregular. The power spectrum of vertical oscillation in the thermocline showed small peaks at wavelengths of 0.3 and 0.7 mile. The slopes of isotherms were determined from a study of over 65,000 data samplings. (Author).
