Current Measurements in Smith Sound - Northern Baffin Bay, September 1968.
Two eleven-day current records were obtained in Smith Sound, northern Baffin Bay during September 1968. From the power spectra of the north and east components of these records, it was determined that the predominant harmonic currents occurred at or near the semidiurnal frequency. The velocity compo...
