...winds were neglected in the Project’s analyses. This is only partially true. The actual current records, which include wind effects, were used to predict transport of the waste. Measured currents very near to the surface were not used, however, nor were wind records explicitly used to predict current movement very near to the surface. These phenomena will be further investigated through the use of wind records extending over a period of several years. 13. Annex B assumes winds from the nort...

...winds as the rotary cross spectrum between wind and currents showed good correlation at the diurnal frequency. The sub-inertial period energy decreased with depth for the whole year. Tidal height measurements are given in the Final Report of the Oceanographic Program, Hazen and Sawyer, October 199. The fluctuations are small, generally less than 45 cm, and so do not contribute significantly to the currents. 2.3 Density Stratification Density stratification, the variation of seawater density with...
