Wind driven circulation of coastal waters at Casey Station, Antarctica. September 1998.
Over the summer period December 1997 - January 1998, a program of field work was undertaken as part of a research project to develop numerical models of the marine waters into which the wastewaters from the Casey Station, Antarctica, are discharged. Field data collected include wind speed and direct...
