The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

Title: |
Water temperature, salinity, turbulent mixing, stratification and currents taken by CTD and ADCP from the research vessel ONRUST in Hudson River Estuary during 6 short cruises from 1994-05-19 to 2001-05-01 (NCEI Accession 0146260) |
Abstract: |
This dataset contains observations of turbulent mixing, stratification and currents in the Hudson River Estuary taken by CTD, microstructure sensor, and ADCP during 6 short cruises in 1994/1995 and 2001. The lower Hudson River is a “partially mixed estuary” with large fortnightly and seasonal variations. In terms of flow dynamics, it represents a tidally forced, stratified shear flow with regions of static instability, well-mixed regions, stably stratified regions with subcriticial gradient Richardson numbers, Ri |
