9314370 Barth This project entails the use of a variety of observational techniques, including rapid upper-ocean hydrographic surveying and towed acoustic current profiler, to study the circulation in the separation region of a baroclinic jet off central Oregon. The study seeks to determine: (1) how and why a strong alongshore coastal current turns offshore, crosses steep topography and becomes an oceanic jet; (2) how the structure, position and vorticity of the jet vary downstream; and, (3) how the separating jet is related to the coastal upwelling front. ***

9314370 Barth 该项目需要使用各种观测技术，包括快速上层海洋水文测量和拖曳式声学电流剖面仪，以研究俄勒冈州中部附近斜压急流分离区域的环流。 该研究旨在确定：（1）强大的沿岸海流如何以及为何转向近海，穿过陡峭的地形并成为海洋急流； (2)下游射流的结构、位置和涡度如何变化； (3) 分离射流与沿海上升流锋面的关系。 ***
