    • A review of oceanic fronts 

      Johannessen, Ola M. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)
      This paper will start with a brief account of oceanic frontal research. The definition of oceanic and acoustic fronts and the distinction between them will be discussed. Examples of frontal structure dynamics, correlation ...

    • Acoustic propagation through oceanic fronts 

      Daintith, Maurice J. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)
      A resume was given of recent experiments in the Mediterranean, East of Malta, designed as a preliminary test of the effect of oceanic fronts on acoustic propagation. It was apparent that in certain circumstances the ...

    • Oceanic layered microstructure and fronts 

      Johannessen, Ola M. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1971/12)
      This talk is divided into two parts: one deals with oceanic microstructure, with particular attention to the so-called "layered microstructure"; the other part is concerned with oceanic fronts. As an example of the latter ...

    • The Maltese oceanic front: a surface description by ship and aircraft 

      Briscoe, Melbourne G.; Johannessen, Ola M.; Vincenzi, S.; Furnes, F. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)
      Simultaneous observations by ship and aircraft of an oceanic fronta ! zone east of Malta in May 1971 show a predominatly north-south boundary between two water masses evidently formed by surface water from the western ...

    • The structure of fronts in the seasonal thermocline 

      Woods, J. D. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)
      Some years ago, when the first continuous profiling temperaturesalinity- depth probes came available it was discovered that tht thermocline had a layered structure. The thickness of these layers was a few metres and ...
