This volume is a catalog of all Area 5 data obtained at sea by the survey ships R/V Sea Scope and R/V Bertha Ann. It covers two reconnaissance survey cruises, and six detailed survey cruises encompassing a period from 7 Dec 1966 to 21 Mar 1967. (Author)

INTERNAL TIDES OFF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.

06 JUL 1966

Authors: W. Krauss; NAVY ELECTRONICS LAB SAN DIEGO CALIF

A method accounting for doppler-shift effects was used to interpret data recorded from San Diego to Hawaii by moving thermistors. Results lead to a reasonable picture of the internal tides in that area of the Pacific Ocean. Internal tidal waves are an important component in the spectra at tidal frequencies in the sea off southern California. It is likely that they travel in a northeasterly direction. (Author)

SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF PLANKTON DISTRIBUTION IN WATERS OF THE EQUATORIAL CURRENTS OF THE PACIFIC AND INDIAN OCEANS,

1966

Authors: M. E. Vinogradov; N. M. Voronina; NAVAL OCEANOGRAPHIC OFFICE WASHINGTON D C

Consideration is given to two problems pertaining to the distribution of plankton in equatorial areas of the ocean: (1) the nature of boundaries of tropical areas inhabited by some species and (2) the effect of frontal zones on the quantitive distribution of plankton. The study is based on an analysis of 1189 samples taken in the tropical areas of the Indian Ocean and in the equitorial areas of the eastern ...

INTERNAL WAVE STUDY.

19 APR 1965

Authors: A. J. Carsola; LOCKHEED-CALIFORNIA CO BURBANK

The study is concerned with the investigation of internal waves and other phenomena responsible for temperature variations over the continental borderland off Southern California. Based on the results of the 1962 observational program, a thermistor array was assembled to provide measurements over a sufficiently long observational period to resolve temperature variations with periods from 10 minutes to several months.

SOFAR VELOCITY CHART OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN.

13 MAY 1964

Authors: Rockne H. Johnson; Roger Norris; HAWAII INST OF GEOPHYSICS HONOLULU

A SOFAR velocity chart of the Pacific Ocean is presented. The chart displays velocity contours at 2-meter-per-second intervals. A steep velocity gradient is shown at the convergence of the Kuroshio and the Oyashio off the Kuril Islands. Seasonal variations of SOFAR velocity were not detected. (Author)

MARINE MAGNETIC SURVEYS IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC OCEAN,

SEP 1963

Authors: Dewey R. Bracey; NAVAL OCEANOGRAPHIC OFFICE NSTL STATION MS

Geomagnetic surveys in the northwest Pacific have shown steep, high amplitude magnetic anomalies occuring on or near the continental shelf off the Kamchatka Peninsula. (Author)
