Hydrographic data from the OPTOMA Program: OPTOMA11, 5-June-5 August, 1984

The six cruises and one aircraft flight comprising OPTOMA11 were undertaken in June, July and August 1984 to sample two subdomains of the California Current. This report presents the hydrographic data, acquired by XBT, AXBT and CTD casts, from the cruises and the flight.Research project "Ocean Prediction Through Observations, Modeling and Analysis" sponsored by the Physical Oceanography Program of the Office of Naval Research under Program Element 61153N.http://archive.org/details/hydrographicdata011wittN000148WR24051NAApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited

Meteorological data from the OPTOMA Program : OPTOMA11, leg DII, 30 June-10 July, 1984 /

This report presents the meteorological data acquired by twenty-six radiosondes launched during the hydrographic cruise 0PT0MA11, Leg DII (30 June to 10 July, 1984). To compare the prevailing atmospheric and oceanic conditions the radiosonde potential temperature and specific humidity profiles are plotted with nearly coincident XBT temperature profiles. Also included are: 1) time series plots of hourly dry-bulb and wet-bulb temperatures and hourly wind velocities, 2) an AVHRR image, and 3) National Weather Service surface pressurePrepared for: Office of Naval Research Environmental Sciences Directoratehttp://archive.org/details/meteorologicalda00coltN000148R24051NAApproved for public release; distribution is unlimited
