Moored Current Meter, AVHRR, CTD, and Drifter Data from the Agulhas Current and Retroflexion Region (1985-1987). Volume 42

Data are presented from an experiment designed to explore the spatial and temporal structure of the Agulhas Current and Retroflexion by direct means. Included are the current meter results from 10 moorings in the Retroflexion region, CTD stations occupied on the deployment cruise in 1985, data from...

Description
Summary:Data are presented from an experiment designed to explore the spatial and temporal structure of the Agulhas Current and Retroflexion by direct means. Included are the current meter results from 10 moorings in the Retroflexion region, CTD stations occupied on the deployment cruise in 1985, data from satellite tracked (ARGOS) freely drifting surface buoys and numerous images of the sea surface temperature. In addition, this report includes a floppy disk on which can be found the one-day average currents, the path of the Agulhas Current, CTD station in 'Live Atlas' format, SST frontal analyses (Chassignet and Olson, personal communication) as well as programs written in QuickBASIC which allow one to access and display these observations. The programs are stored in ASCII an can be run under the Microsoft QuickBasic (Version 4.0 or higher). Instructions for running the programs can be found in a file entitled 'read.me' on the disk. Includes microfiche. Sponsored in part by Contract N00014- 87-K-0007. Original contains color plates: All DTIC and NTIS reproductions will be in black and white. Also included in AD-M000 098.
