Moored temperature and conductivity observations during AIWEX
This report presents observations from moorings of temperature, conductivity
and pressure, made during the Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX)
in March-April 1985.
The purpose of the temperature and conductivity measurements was to
provide time series from which inferences could be made about the vertical
displacement of the internal waves

Observations from LEADEX, Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean : March-April 1992
This report presents time series measurements of velocity, temperature and conductivity made during the Lead Experiment (LEADEX). These observations were made in the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean, in the vicinity of 73°N, 144°W, during March-April 1992. Month-long observations at the base camp were made between the surface and 400 m depth; horizontal separations ranged from 70 to 140 m. Several-day records of velocity profiles to 130 m depth in two newly formed leads aways from the base camp are also presented

Observations from CEAREX "O" Camp, Arctic Ocean: March-April 1989
This report presents moored observations of velocity, temperature, and conductivity
made at the "0" Camp during CEAREX (Coordinated Eastern Arctic Experiment).
The measurements were made in the Arctic Ocean, near 83 ON and 5 ° to 11 °E, from
sensors suspended below the ice during March-April 1989

Mooring observations from the Mid-Atlantic Bight, July-September 1996 : synthetic aperture sonar primer and coastal mixing & optics programs
This report documents the observations of velocity, temperature and conductivity made in the
Mid-Atlantic Bight region of the NW Atlantic Ocean during the Synthetic Aperture Sonar (SAS)
Primer experiment. The primary data were obtained from instruments moored in 70 in of water
near 40° 30' N, 70° 30' W, from July through September 1996 (Figure 1). Vertical profiles of
conductivity, temperature, light transmission and fluorescence were also made during
deployment and recovery cruises.
The overall goals of this PRIMER program are to assess the feasibility of the operation of an
SAS on the continental shelf. A study of acoustic propagation was conducted during the period
the mooring was deployed, from August 20 through August 27, by F. Henyey, T. Ewart, and K.
Williams (Applied Physics Laboratory / University of Washington). The evaluation of the
synthetic aperture sonar itself was performed by S. Stanic and R. Meredith (Naval Research
Laboratory). This project was carried out in close cooperation with the ONR-sponsored Coastal
Mixing & Optics ARE. In addition to shared logistical planning, we anticipate joint analysis and
sharing of data.
The specific goals of this project are to describe the internal wave field and associated sound
speed fluctuations on the shelf--both statistically and by events. The sampling scheme was
designed to resolve the many components of the wavefield including: near-inertial waves,
internal tide, background continuum and internal solitary waves.
This report is divided into two sections. The first section contains descriptions of the
instrumentation deployed on the PRIMER moorings including locations, sampling rates, and
calibrations. It also includes a brief description of the CTD sampling and sample profiles from
the CTD stations occupied. Copies of the deployment and recovery cruise logs are appended to
the first section. The second section contains plots from the mooring deployment. Several views
of the time series recorded by the moorings are presented. Time series of vertically separated
temperature, salinity, and velocity measurements are shown for the main, subsurface mooring.
Temperature observations from sensors at the same depth on horizontally separated mooring are
also shown. These data are presented as both low-pass filtered and unfiltered time series. Time
is given as day of year 1996 in all of the time series plots; conversion to calendar date is provided
in Table 8. The data displayed in these figures are a subset of the data collected during the
mooring deployment, all of which are available on CD-ROM from the authors

Mooring observations from the Hawaiian ridge : November 2000 - January 2002 : a component of the Hawaii Ocean Mixing Experiment (HOME) Survey Program
This report documents the observations of velocity, temperature and conductivity made from two moorings deployed in the Kauai Channel on the ridge extending NW from Oahu, Hawaii. The moorings were deployed in November 2000 for two months as part of the Hawaii Ocean Mixing Experiment (HOME) Survey Program

Mooring observations from the Oregon continental shelf : April-September 1999 : a component of the prediction of wind-driven coastal circulation project
This report documents oceanographic and meteorological measurements made from instruments deployed on four moorings over the continental shelf west of Oregon, from spring through
summer, 1999. These moorings were a component of an observational and numerical modeling program to study the response of the coastal ocean to wind forcing.
The Dynamics and Prediction of Wind-Driven Coastal Circulation was funded by the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP) with the principal goal to develop nowcast and
forecast systems for wind-driven coastal flow fields. The observational program was designed to provide measurements that would allow testing and improvement of the modeling capability.
See http://www.oce.orst.edu/po/research/nopp/, http://diana.OCE.ORST.EDU/cmoweb/nopp/,
and Austin et al. (2000) for description of the modeling program and a description of other
aspects of the observational program.
This report is divided into two sections. The first section contains descriptions of the
instrumentation deployed on the NOPP moorings including locations, sampling rates, and
calibrations. The second section contains plots of the observations. Several views of the time
series recorded by the moorings are presented. Time series of vertically separated velocity,
temperature, and salinity are shown for each mooring. Velocity and temperature observations from the same depth on horizontally separated moorings are also shown. These data are
presented as both 40-hour low-pass filtered and 1-hour low-pass filtered time series. Time is
given as day of year 1999 in all of the time series plots; conversion to calendar date is provided in Table 5

Observations from the C1 Mooring during ocean storms in the N.E. Pacific Ocean, August 1987-June 1988
This report presents observations from a single mooring of velocity, temperature, conductivity, and pressure, made as part of the Ocean Storms experiment, conducted in the N.E. Pacific Ocean (47° 25.4' N, 139° 17.8' W) from August 1987 to June 1988. The mooring contained a total of 14 current meters, 4 thermistor chains and 5 temperature-conductivity recorders. A sample of the datas time series in displayed in two forms: unfiltered and low-pass filtered
