Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the physical oceanographic data collected during a series of monthly cruises between February 1964 and June 1965 over a set station pattern in an area bounded by latitudes 10° and 26°N. and longitudes 148° and 157°W. The data are tabulated, BT (bathythermograph) data are presented in vertical sections, and the distribution of surface temperature, surface salinity, and surface dynamic height relative to m. are shown in charts for each cruise. The data were obtained during a period of considerable change in the distribution of properties and provide a three-dimensional time-sequence distribution of properties. This detailed physical oceanographic information is a valuable resource for those interested in seasonal changes in the distribution of properties and for explaining these changes in terms of seasonal changes in the processes of net heat and water exchange across the sea surface and water motion. 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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents original and derived oceanographic data from a series of 16 monthly cruises conducted between February 1964 and June 1965 in the region bounded by lat. 10° and 26° N. and long. 148° and 157° W. in the trade wind zone of the central North Pacific. This data is tabularized to provide researchers with interpolated data at standard depths, as well as dynamic depth anomaly values summed from the surface for each station to a depth of 1,500 meters which have been contoured for each cruise to display surface dynamic height relative to the 1,500-decibar surface.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents new data from the Trade Wind Zone Oceanography Pilot Study, conducted in September and November 1964. The dataset includes data on temperature, salinity, oxygen, and phosphate, and it adds to our understanding of the region's time-varying three-dimensional circulation, and the physical and chemical structure of its waters. The study illustrates the usefulness of combining direct current measurements with indirect measurements of velocity obtained from hydrographic data. The data will be valuable to physical oceanographers studying the area, and to any physical oceanographer working to develop and test theories of time-varying circulation in the world's oceans.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of oceanographic data gathered during oceanographic research in the central North Pacific Ocean between February 1964 and June 1965. The main subjects of the book are monthly temperature, salinity, density, and dynamic height measurements taken at sea. The broader context is an attempt to explain seasonal changes in ocean properties in terms of heat and water exchange across the sea surface, as well as changes in wind stress and water motion influenced by seasonal changes in wind. The book is significant for anyone interested in understanding the physical processes of the central North Pacific and how they change seasonally.
