An analysis was made of over 50,000 bathythermographs, obtained up to the end of 1963, of the surface (mixed) layer of the Northeast Pacific. The data are displayed in the form of a series of monthly charts.

Sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies from previous sources have been related to subsurface temperature anomalies obtained from BT's at six positions in the Northeast Pacific. In this manner some understanding of the value of SST anomalies as indicators of ocean energy states is achieved. Results show that for about 50% of the time, the SST anomaly generally extended to depths of 100 meters or more. November through April were found to be the months most favorable for the occurrence of these deeply penetrating anomalies. Summertime SST anomalies were determined to be shallow features of less than 40 meters and were not indicative of subsurface heat content. A close linear relationship was observed year round between SST anomalies and heat content anomalies in the top 30 meters of the ocean. There was little correlation between SST and heat content anomalies in the 91-122 meter layer. (Author).

Elements of Physical Oceanography is a derivative of the Encyclopedia of Ocean Sciences, Second Edition and serves as an important reference on current physical oceanography knowledge and expertise in one convenient and accessible source. Its selection of articles—all written by experts in their field—focuses on ocean physics, air-sea transfers, waves, mixing, ice, and the processes of transfer of properties such as heat, salinity, momentum and dissolved gases, within and into the ocean. Elements of Physical Oceanography serves as an ideal reference for topical research. References related articles in physical oceanography to facilitate further research Richly illustrated with figures and tables that aid in understanding key concepts Includes an introductory overview and then explores each topic in detail, making it useful to experts and graduate-level researchers Topical arrangement makes it the perfect desk reference

Ocean currents were measured in the central northeast Pacific, from 30 degrees N to 40 degrees N and 140 degrees W to 150 degrees W, with nine arrays of moored current meters during autumn 1973. Current meter records at depths from 700 m to 5420 m were analyzed to determine the characteristics of intermediate and deep currents within the central northeast Pacific. The currents in this region have very low speeds which generally decrease with increasing depth. Contributions to the time-dependent currents are primarily from oscillatory motions at the local inertial frequencies and the semidiurnal tidal frequency. Spectral analysis indicates that tidal frequency motion is essentially due to baroclinic internal tides and not barotropic surface tides.
