The Determination of Average Geostrophic Current Velocities from Temporally and Spatially Random Hydrographic Data with an Application to the Southern California Bight.

Kenneth A. Mooney

Abstract

A method employing two-dimensional spline fits of spatially and temporally random hydrographic data is developed in order to be able to determine seasonally averaged geostrophic currents. The method is used in an analysis of the currents in the Southern California Bight. (Author)
