This study examines, in detail, the effect of the passage of a meso-scale feature through an area normally under the influence of the Antilles Current. The study area lies approximately 40 km northeast of the island of Eleuthera, Bahama's. The analyses examine, in particular, changes in structure of the vertical displacements of the semi-diurnal tidal component of the internal wave field. The report also includes a description of the methodology ...
This study examines the temporal variation in temperature at several levels from near surface to below the thermocline - a depth of approximately 1900 m. The time series were collected over a 51 day period from 16 February through 6 April 1976 from an area approximately 40 Km northeast of the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas. The study also includes an examination of the temporal and depth changes in the density ...
This report constitutes Part 2 of a two part report. Part 1 (AD-A051 517) dealt with details of the system design and calibration. This report first develops the mathematical model used to determine the mooring configuration for varying conditions of external forcing. Second, the method used to correct sensors (thermistors) for vertical displacements is presented. Included are case study comparisons of the model predictions vs actual measurements.
The intent of this report is to serve as the working documentation of the BEAR (Bermuda Eleuthera Acoustics Range) Buoy System for scientific application. As such the report is oriented toward the engineering aspects of the project. The report includes the following: (1) a general description of the system by component subsystem; (2) a detailed engineering breakdown of the sensor subsystem and the development of the rationale used to determine ...
Part I of the report: Pre-GATE Calibration of the Surface Meteorological Subsystem (SMSS) Sensors - SAM and Non-SAM Recorded, presents an overview, outlining the calibration procedures used. Part II entitled - Operations Manual for the Automated Boom and Standard Surface Meteorological and Radiation Sensors and Related Hardware - is the revised version of the document used during the GATE international experiment. The edition includes those changes in the operational procedures ...
