Drifter observations of coastal surface currents during CODE: The method and descriptive view
Abstract
Observations of near‐surface coastal currents were made off the Northern California coast during the Coastal Dynamics Experiment (CODE) by using 164 current‐following drifters. Viewed as flow visualization descriptions, the results disclose a number of energetic mesoscale features that dominate across‐shelf transport. Examples of eddies, jets, convergences and across‐shelf “squirts” are shown and related to moored current observations, wind forcing, and mesoscale features observed in satellite surface temperature imagery. Convergences appear to be most common when currents reverse following relaxation of normally upwelling‐favorable winds. Squirts are apparently the cause of cold water plumes extending away from the coast; they appear most frequently at coastal promontories.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
