Near-Surface Current in Robeson Channel

In the report, near-surface current data in Robeson Channel are analyzed and the prominent characteristics of the current are described. Comparison of the current velocity between vertical as well as lateral positions in a cross section of the channel is made. Tidal and non-tidal oscillations in the...

Description
Summary:In the report, near-surface current data in Robeson Channel are analyzed and the prominent characteristics of the current are described. Comparison of the current velocity between vertical as well as lateral positions in a cross section of the channel is made. Tidal and non-tidal oscillations in the velocity components are identified and the near-surface average current profile which may be used for mass transport calculation is obtained. Summary in French.
