    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Strömungsdaten von 7 Verankerungen, die im nordöstlichen Atlantik über mehrere Jahre ausgelegt waren, wurden im Hinblick auf halbtägige barotrope und barokline sowie eintägige barotrope Gezeiten analysiert. Bei den halbtägigen Tiden M2 und S2 dominiert normalerweise die Energie der barotropen Eigenfunktion, nur in wenigen Fällen enthält die barokline Welle 1. Ordnung höhere Energie. Die Ellipsenorientierungen für die barotropen Komponenten entsprechen früheren Ergebnissen von Tiefseepegeln in diesem Gebiet. Es gibt jedoch signifikante Abweichungen bei den Amplituden. Die Gezeiten in diesem Gebiet sind fast ausschließlich fortschreitende Wellen, in einigen wenigen Fällen jedoch vom gemischten Typ. Die räumliche Änderung der Strömungsellipsen entspricht weitgehend den Ergebnissen, die Cartwright, Edden, Spencer et al. [1980] indirekt aus Pegelbeobachtungen erhielten.
    Abstract: Résumé Les mesures de courants provenant de 7 mouillages sur plusieurs années en Atlantique Nord-Est ont été analysées en ce qui concerne les marées semi-diurnes barotropes et baroclines et les marées diurnes barotropes. Pour les marées semi-diurnes M2 et S2 la répartition de l'énergie est généralement dominée par le mode barotrope; dans peu de cas seulement, le mode barocline de premier ordre renferme la plus haute énergie. Les orientations de l'ellipse relevant de la marée barotrope sont en accord avec les résultats d'observations marégraphiques antérieures dans cette région. Des écarts significatifs apparaissent toutefois en amplitude. Les résultats concernant la composante Ki sont également présentés. A quelques exceptions près, les marées, dans cette région, se sont trouvées être des ondes progressives. Le type d'ellipse des courants est semblable aux résultats obtenus indirectement par Cartwright, Edden, Spencer et al. [1980] à partir des observations marégraphiques.
    Notes: Summary Current data obtained from 7 moorings in the Northeast Atlantic in the course of many years are analysed with respect to semi-diurnal barotropic and baroclinic tides and diurnal barotropic tides. For semi-diurnal tides M2 and S2 the energy distribution is usually dominated by the barotropic mode; only in a few cases does the first-order baroclinic mode contain higher energy. Barotropic tidal ellipse orientations are found to be consistent with results from earlier tide gauge observations in this area. Significant deviations occur, however, in amplitudes. Results for the diurnal component K1 are also presented. With few exceptions, tides are found to be progressive waves in this area. The current ellipse pattern is similar to results obtained indirectly by Cartwright, Edden, Spencer et al. [1980] from tide gauge observations.

    Description: Measurements in the mixing zone of the Elbe estuary were performed during three consecutive tidal cycles with three types of instruments—a moored tripod with velocity and temperature/conductivity/light attenuation sensors, a profiling sonde with similar sensors lowered from an anchored vessel, and instrumented moorings. Acoustic-travel-time sensors were used for velocity measurements. Spectral analysis of 12·8 min pieces of the obtained time series gives results that are consistent with isotropic turbulence for part of the frequency space. Temporal changes of turbulent kinetic energy are correlated with tidal current velocity. A retardation is found between changes in tidal current and turbulent energy. Not all shear stress terms are in similar phase with tidal flow. Mean gradients, Reynolds stress terms, and turbulent salt flux terms are combined to determine eddy viscosity and eddy diffusion coefficients.

    Description: Dense Antarctic Bottom Water formed around the continent of Antarctica spreads northward in the Atlantic underneath North Atlantic Deep Water, gradually mixing and upwelling into it. This Antarctic Water forms a significant element of the meridional circulation in both directions: northward as bottom water and southward as deep water. It is important to determine the strength of each component to assess its role in ocean circulation. Such measurements are useful when made in constricted pathways because any flow is more clearly defined. A new set of fine-resolution hydrograhic measurements in the Hunter Channel of the South Atlantic Ocean has been obtained, which allow the geostrophic bottom flow there to be estimated for the first time. The northward flow through the Hunter Channel of water cooler than 2-degrees-C is thus estimated to be 0.7 X 10(6) m3 s-1.

    Description: A study is described which attempts to obtain information about the vertical correlation of ocean currents at frequencies higher than inertial. Current velocity and temperature data for sensor separations of 4–12 m were taken with a mooring at ‘Site D’. The coherence and phase spectra for velocity component pairs reveals that motions are rotational at low frequencies. A cut-off frequency exists above which coherence drops to low values. The limiting frequency coincides with the minimum Väisälä frequency of the total water column. These cross-spectral properties support the assumption that the motion in this frequency range is governed by internal wave dynamics. The coherence and phase spectra of temperature pairs indicate that a field of temperature structure is superimposed on the mean field which is weakly correlated to the field of motion.

    Description: An experiment is described which was aimed at testing assumptions and predictions of the internal wave model suggested by Garrett and Munk (1972). Two moorings were set at a depth of 2660 m with a horizontal separation of 920 m only. The results of current and temperature measurements on these moorings indicate that the field of motion is probably horizontally isotropic in the inertio-gravitational wave band. The limiting frequency for horizontal coherence is three times the frequency predicted by the theoretical model. The phase of the vertical coherence is stable over a wide frequency range and the coherence decreases towards higher frequencies. This may be due to coherent motion contaminated by uncorrelated noise at high frequencies. The results are basically in agreement with the theoretical model when taking a number of modes below 10.

    Description: When determining vertical velocity spectra from temperature time series and the mean vertical temperature gradient, restrictions may arise friom the existence of fine-structre. Phillips (1971) and Garrett and Munk (1971_ have shown that the fine-structure contamination of internal gravity wave spectra can be written as a function of some statistical properties of the internal wave field and the vertical wave number spectrum of the fine-structure. A consistent set of current and temperature data was obtained during an experiment at Site D to study this problem. The wave number spectrum of the vertical temperature fine-structure and the apparent frequently spectrum of internal waves are determined from these data. In contrast to the asasumptions in the above models, our fine-structure data imply a wave number spectrum proportional to (wave number)−3 in the range which is important here. Using the above set of data, a model is suggested to describe the effect of fine-structure on vertical velocity spectra computed with the mean vertical temperature gradient. It indicates a maximum fine-structure contamination of the true frequency spectrum of internal gravity waves in the middle of the internal wave band, with less contamination at low and high frequencies.
