A 20-month study of the circulation patterns and the processes that resuspend and transport sediment and/or pollutants within Mobile Bay, Alabama and over the adjacent gulf-coast shelf began in July, 1990. This report depicts data that was collected by one mooring deployed during the study. The single mooring monitored near-surface and near-bottom current, temperature, salinity and water clarity in 30 m of water on the shelf. This report also presents some statistical parameters derived from the data, together with wind and sea level data for the time spanning the entire study (July 1990 -March 1992.
A nine month-long program to study internal tides over Karin Ridge was begun in October, 1990. As part of this program, 2 moorings (Figure 1) thatmeasured current and temperature were deployed on the ridge. This report is a description of the data that were collected during this experiment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
