Book Description
This report documents hydrographic data collected during two cruises in R/V Endeavor in 1979: EN-040 (2-8 Aug) and EN-045 (16-23 Nov). The hydrographic data from two additional cruises during the first 1979 field phase of the project are documented in a separate report. The hydrographic measurements were made in support of a moored instrument program. The data from the moored instruments (primarily current meters) are reported in separate data reports for the winter and summer 1979 field phases. The objective of the hydrographic program was to vertically and horizontally map the temperature and salinity fields of the Gulf Stream, hopefully as a meander passed through the moored instrument array. The hydrographic measurements were made in conjunction with mooring deployment and recovery operations. The data reported here were collected with a Plessey 9040 STD system attached to a Niskin rosette sampler equipped with Niskin sample bottles and reversing thermometers. In addition, many temperature profiles were made with a Sippican XBT System. Surface bucket samples were taken at most stations. Beyond the presentation of contoured fields of certain derived hydrographic quantities the data are not analyzed. Interpretation of the data is not provided here.

Book Description
The objective of this book is to introduce new researchers to the rich dynamical system of water waves, and to show how (some) abstract mathematical concepts can be applied fruitfully in a practical physical problem and to make the connection between theory and experiment. It provides a coherent set of lectures on the current status of water wave theory, including identification of some open problems.

Book Description
The Gulf Stream Meanders Experiment (GSME) was conducted off North Carolina in 1979. Instruments were moored in the Stream over the 200 m and 400 m isoabaths on the continental slope for two 4-month periods, one in the winter and one in the summer. In both seasons, the downstream current speed typically fluctuated between -50 cm/s and +100cm/s about a 30 cm/s mean. The velocity, temperature, and salinity fluctuations had a prominent 7- to 10-day period in the winter, and a less prominent 5- to 7-day period in the summer. The fluctuations, which were nearly in-phase vertically and propagated down-stream at approx. 40 km/d, apparently resulted from lateral, wavelike excursions or meanders of the Gulf Stream front, as first described by Webster (1961a). The observed structure is complicated along the shoreward edge of the Stream, where shallow surface filaments of warm water often trail southwestward from meander crests. The warm filaments are usually separated from the Stream by a band of cool surface water, which is a manifestation of deeper uplifting or upwelling associated with the meander process. Strong cyclonic circulation around the uplifted cool water pool is a characteristic feature of meanders. In both seasons, the leading term in the energy equation indicated that part of the fluctuation kinetic energy was converted to mean Stream kinetic energy, with an implied doubling time of a few weeks. Direct forcing by the wind was found to be ineffective during the GSME. The seasonal persistence of meanders in the GSME area thus indicates an upstream source of their kinetic energy. (Author).

Book Description
I DENTIFIERS: CRAWFORD Cruise 18. CRAWFORD Cruise 18 was undertaken in May and June 1958, with the purpose of studying the structure of Gulf Stream meanders off Onslow Bay, North Carolina. This was done by succ ssive crossings of the axis of the current by the research vessel CRAWFORD. During the cruise, 120 crossings were completed. The data collected on that cruise are presented. Included are some results of an analysis of the data. (Author).
