Expendable Bathythermograph Data on Subsurface Thermal Structure in the Eastern North Pacific Ocean (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Complex temperature structure along the California Current and what it reveals about subsurface layers.
This section summarizes how early measurements uncovered intricate temperature patterns along the outer boundary of the California Current, including shifts in maximums and minimums in the water column. It also covers improvements to data collection, such as a re-engineered XBT system and its deployment on the SS CALIFORNIAN, leading to more reliable, high‑quality traces as the cruises continued in 1966.
In addition to observational findings, the text links these temperature structures to boundary regions and water masses in the Northeast Pacific, and it notes practical details about data collection, instruments, and the challenges faced during the shipboard program. Figures illustrate temperature-depth sections and the geographic scope of the survey, while the narrative discusses how refinements to equipment reduced near-surface irregularities and improved response when probes entered the water.- How temperature structure relates to the boundary between currents and water masses in the Northeast Pacific
- Progress in instrument design, particularly the T-4 XBT probe and its impact on data quality
- Operational details from voyages aboard the SS CALIFORNIAN, including outbound and inbound legs
- How observational data were processed and presented in temperature-depth sections

Expendable Bathythermograph Data on Subsurface Thermal Structure in the Eastern
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book combines observations and analyses from over 70 drops of expendable bathythermographs to create a picture of the seasonal changes of ocean temperatures in the California Current. Temperature sections show the gradient of temperatures as the probe measures water temperature on its descent. One section details a complex structure of temperature maximums and minimums in the western boundary of the current, a feature that is characteristic of the outer edge of the California Current. The authors also describe near-surface temperature errors and failures that have occurred in some of the probes, and discuss the technical issues that have arisen during the project. The discussion of these issues provides insight into how the collection of oceanographic data can be improved for research and weather forecasting. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333103521_0
