ABSTRACT. An extensive array of current meters and bottompressure gauges was deployed in Shelikof Strait, Alaska, during1984/85 as part of the Fisheries Oceanography CoordinatedInvestigations (FOCI). FOCI is aimed at understanding thephysical and biological environment surrounding the early lifestages of the Pacific pollock (theragra chalcogramma). Thesedata, as well as calculated surface wind time series, wereanalyzed to investigate the influence of the Alaska CoastalCurrent (ACC) in this region. The ACC induced a strong mean flow(IS to 25 cm/s) during this season concentrated along the AlaskaPeninsula on the northern side of the Strait. Outside theinfluence of the ACC, mean currents were weak (5-8 cm/s). Thishighly variable flow bifurcated in the vicinity of the SemidiIslands, with 75% of the ACC volume flux flowing seaward out of adeep (200+m) sea valley which meets the shelf break at a sillsouthwest of Kodiak Island. This strong outflow can induce anestuarine type circulation through entrainment of bottom watercausing a mean inflow at depth. The remainder of the flowcontinues along the Alaska Peninsula. The currents were generallywell correlated in the vertical at each mooring, while thehorizontal correlations were weak, indicating the horizontalspatial scales of coherence were less than the 8 to 15 km mooringseparation. Surface winds from a location near the Barren Islands(200 km north of the Strait) showed the strongest relation tocurrents and transport. There was an indication that the windsdrove the pressure differences and thereby the currents, as therewas a significant correlation between bottom pressure differencesand currents.

1. INTRODUCTION

Fisheries-Oceanography Coordinated Investigations (FOCI) is a multi-year

study of the physical and biological environments surrounding the early life

stages of the Alaska Pollock (theragra chalcogramma) in Shelikof Strait,

Alaska. FOCI is conducted jointly by scientists at Pacific Marine

Environmental Laboratory and the Northwest and Alaska Fisheries Center in

Seattle, Washington. This memo presents analysis of current, bottom pressure

and surface wind time series from the winter of 1984/85.

Page 6: NOAA Technical Memorandum ERL PMEL-74 STRAIT, AUTUMN … · OBSERVATIONS OF CURRENTS, SURFACE WINDS AND BOTTOM PRESSURE IN SHELIKOF STRAIT, AUTUMN 1984 A.T. Roach J.D. Schumacher

Shelikof Strait is a region of complex topography (Fig. 1). The dominant

bathymetric feature is a deep sea valley which starts at the north end of

Kodiak Island and follows the axis of the Strait until it turns sharply

seaward east of the Semidi Islands, becoming orthogonal to the shelf break.

The sea valley ends at a 200 meter sill southwest of Kodiak Island. Shelikof

Strait is bounded by the mountainous Alaska Peninsula to the north and the

rugged Kodiak Island plateau to the south, both of which can have effects on

the local winds. The regional winds are strong and variable due to intense

cyclones crossing the North Pacific into the Gulf of Alaska. Large scale low

pressure systems lying southwest of Kodiak Island can cause regions of strong

convergence through the interaction of low-level, down gradient winds in the

Strait with the onshore geostrophic flow southwest of Kodiak Island (Macklin,

1984). The high variability of the wind field precludes areas of consistent

coastal convergence or divergence such as exist farther to the northeast or

southwest, respectively (Schumacher and Reed, 1986).

The Alaskan Coastal Current (ACC) enters Shelikof Strait primarily

through Kennedy Entrance south of Cook Inlet (Reed et al., 1980). The ACC

provides a source of low salinity water resulting from the large (23,000 m3 /s)

line source of freshwater input around the perimeter of the Gulf of Alaska

(Royer, 1979, 1982). This westward flowing current entrains slope water,

which is warmer in winter than the ACC water, before entering the Strait

(Schumacher et al., 1979). Flow bifurcates near the Semidi Islands, with one

branch continuing westward along the Alaska Peninsula and the other seaward

through the sea valley (Schumacher and Reed, 1986).

Deep slope water is the source of saline water at the southern end of the

sea valley, leading Reed et al. (1986) to use an estuarine-like model of

circulation to characterize this area. The warm, relatively fresh upper layer

flowing steadily southwestward overlies a cold and salty lower layer that

periodically reverses. My~ak et al. (1981) presented a seasonal analysis of

2

the variance for three current meter records from Shelikof Strait in the fall

and winter of 1976/77. They argued that the 2.5- to 5-day component of the

fluctuating flow was due to the baroclinic instability of the mean

southwestward flow.

This report describes the oceanographic conditions in and around Shelikof

Strait, Alaska during the fall of 1984. The basic statistics and time series

plots, as well as kinetic energy spectra, of all variables for the 34 current

meter, 4 surface wind, and 6 bottom pressure records are presented. In

addition, graphic representations of harmonic analyses for tidal currents and

of the distribution of variance by frequency band are discussed. Time series

relations are shown through correlation matrices and schematic diagrams of the

coherence squared of currents across transport sections. In the summary, the

major features of the circulation and volume transport through the Strait are

listed and questions for further study are posed.

2. DATA AND METHODS

We present a statistical analysis of the current meter records, bottom

pressure gauge records and surface winds spanning the period 25 Aug 1984 to 12

Jan 1985 (Table 1). The 34 current meters deployed were organized into 3

cross-sectional lines or sections (Figs. 1 and 2). Section 11 spanned the

Strait between Cape Kekurnoi and Kodiak Island (Moorings 1, 2, and 3), Section

12 contained the meters from moorings 4, 5, and 6 between Sutwick Island and

the Semidi Islands on the shallow continental shelf, while Section 13

(Moorings 7, 8, and 9) spanned the sea valley from the Semidis to Chirikof

Island (Figs. 3-5). These sections measure volume transport through Shelikof

Strait; beginning at Section 11 where the highest concentrations of pollock

eggs are found, then downstream either along the Alaska Peninsula (Section 12)

or seaward out of the sea valley (Section 13).

The current meters were Aanderaa RCM-4 instruments deployed on taut-wire

moorings. Six of these moorings (1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9), located on the sides of

the transport sections, had Aanderaa bottom pressure gauges. All the

instruments were recovered and provided a raw time series of hourly samples,

except for the 26 m record from Mooring #2 which had faulty velocity data.

Data were smoothed using a 35-hour Lanczos filter with a 10% cosine squared

taper, and resampled at 6 hourly intervals. This filter passes more than 99%

of the amplitude at periods of greater than 55 hours, 50% at 35 hours and less

than 0.5% at 25 hours, effectively removing the tides. The pressure gauge

records were similarly filtered. Time series of the observed variables are

shown in Figs. 6-41. Detrended pressure gauge series were used to create

series representing the pressure differences both along and across the

continental shelf by subtracting one series from another. Figures 42 and 43

show the alongshelf and cross shelf pressure difference series respectively.

Other series of importance to this report are the surface and bottom transport

ser1es. The low-pass filtered, principal axis speed components for all the

records from 56 meters and above in each of the sections were multiplied by a

representative area and summed to provide an estimate of the volume transport

in the surface layer (Figs. 44-46). Similarly, the bottom records yielded a

lower layer transport estimate. Note that the upper layer is approximately

half way between the 56 m record and the one immediately below it (Fig. 2).

Tables 2, 3, and 4 present the vector mean flow, RMS error, principal

axes, variance and variance ellipse statistics for current meter records from

Sections 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The nomenclature used in referencing

instruments 1S the mooring number followed by the instruments' sequential

number from the surface and depth. 'Thus, the instrument on Section 1 with

faulty velocity data was 2 1/26. Table 5 presents similar statistics for the

surface winds, bottom and surface transports, and bottom pressure gauge

records.

Spectra were computed by removing the mean from each record, uSing a 10%

cosine taper and then dividing the variances by 0.875 to preserve the variance

lost by that taper. The Fourier Transform of each time series was boxcar

averaged to produce a spectrum such that the sum of the variances over all

frequencies equaled the total variance (Pearson, 1981). The band averaged

spectral energy for all nine moorings was also computed to get an overall

picture of the frequency distribution which would have been difficult to

ascertain from the spectra themselves. The bands used are detailed in

Table 17.

Four time series of gradient winds (Fig. 47) were generated from surface

atmospheric pressure fields using the METLIB package of programs. Surface

winds were generated from gradient winds using a rotation of the wind

direction by 15 degrees to the left and a 30% reduction in magnitude (Overland

et al., 1980). Synthetic winds may not replicate the small scale spatial

variability of the actual winds (Royer, 1981; Luick, Royer and Johnson,

1987). The wind series near the Barren Islands (northeast of Kodiak Island)

is designated as "BA", Shelikof Strait is "SH" and "SE" denotes the wind

series near the Semidi Islands. There are no observed wind time series

available.

3. CIRCULATION

A. Mean Conditions

Mean flow was in the along-channel direction at all three sections, with

the exceptions of Mooring #5 and some of the deeper records with weak

currents. Sections 1 and 3 were qualitatively similar with strong mean

outflow on the right hand side (RHS) of the Section (looking downstream along

the major axis) and weak and variable or reversing currents at depth on the

left hand side. The alongshore mean speeds at moorings 1 and 2 exceeded

20 cm/s alongshore in the surface layer, and were reduced to less than 6 cm/s

5

at a nominal depth of 200 meters (Fig. 48). Most of the current variance was

contained in the alongshore direction for Mooring 1, while the variance

ellipse was nearly circular for Mooring 2. Similar mean speeds were present

in the surface records at Moorings 7 and 8 on the RHS of Section 3

(Fig. 50). Currents at moorings 3 and 9 had weak and variable surface flow

overlying a mean inflow of 7 and 3 cm/s below 150 m, respectively.

The mean currents at Section 2 (Fig. 49) were weaker (8-10 cm/s) above

56 m than those at the sections across the sea valley. There was no

significant flow at 6_3/75 in the lower water column. All records on

Section 2 were nearly circularly polarized and there was a consistent decrease

of variance with depth at all locations.

The transport means suggested 70 to 80% of the water which flowed through

Shelikof Strait (Section 1) exited through the sea valley (Section 3). The

estimated mean transport through Section 1 was 0.82 Sverdrups

(1 Sv = 10 6 m3 /s), while 0.26 Sv flowed through Section 2 and 0.68 Sv through

Section 3. The transports balance to within 15%. The imbalance may be due to

inaccuracies in the transport calculation or failure of these sections to

include all significant flows in this region. In particular, a moderate 8 to

10 cm/s flow over the shallow shelf region southwest of Kodiak Island and east

of Mooring 9 could add about 0.1 Sv to the balance. Satellite tracked

drifters have gone between the Semidi Islands, indicating that area as one of

possible importance to the regional flow. A strong (>25 cm/s) flow through

the Islands, however, would contribute less than 0.05 Sv to the transport

balance. Most of the volume transport was concentrated in the surface layers;

65% at Section 1, 92% at Section 2 and 75% at Section 3.

Bottom pressure recorders were placed on either side of the Strait to

examine the mesoscale dynamics. Since the mean pressures are only indicative

of the instruments' depth, the statistic of most interest is the variance of

each record. The two series with the highest variances were on Section 2

6

Page 11: NOAA Technical Memorandum ERL PMEL-74 STRAIT, AUTUMN … · OBSERVATIONS OF CURRENTS, SURFACE WINDS AND BOTTOM PRESSURE IN SHELIKOF STRAIT, AUTUMN 1984 A.T. Roach J.D. Schumacher

(Moorings 4 and 6), while the least variable bottom pressure series was on

Mooring 9 (Table 5 and Fig. 41). Even though the mean flow through Section 3

was double that of Section 2, variability was four times greater in the

coastal region than over the sea valley.

The mean speeds for the along-channel surface winds showed a transition

from winds favoring coastal convergence near the Barren Islands and in

Shelikof Strait to statistically insignificant winds near the Semidi Islands

(Table 5). This transition results from the location of cyclone trajectories

in the Gulf of Alaska (Schumacher and Reed, 1986). These surface winds do not

reflect the orographic effects of the local winds, which can be accelerated

along the Strait and through gaps in the coastal mountains (Macklin, 1984).

B. Current Characteristics

Tidal currents contain a significant amount of kinetic energy in Shelikof

Strait. Selected tidal constituents were estimated from eight 29-day tidal

harmonic analyses of hourly current time series and are shown in Figs. 51-

53. The tidal currents were mostly semi-diurnal with M2 speeds averaging

15 cm/s at Moorings 1 and 2, reaching 20 cm/s at Mooring 3. The same

constituent had speeds of about 30 cm/s at Moorings 7 and 8 and 35 cm/s at

Mooring 9. Thus, both sections showed the strongest tidal currents on the

left hand side of the sea valley. There was less variability at Section 2,

with average M2 speeds of 20 cm/s. Moorings 6, 7 and 9 showed subsurface

maximums, which may be associated with an internal tide.

In Section 1, upper layer subtidal currents seldom reversed at Moorings 1

and 2. Reversals of up to nine days with speeds over 50 cm/s were common at

Mooring 3. Lower layer currents showed similar differences with mean outflow

at Moorings 1 and 2 and inflow on the Kodiak Island side of the Strait.

Currents on the sides of the Strait were predominantly along the major axis,

while currents at the center mooring (2) had significant rotary energy.

7

Page 12: NOAA Technical Memorandum ERL PMEL-74 STRAIT, AUTUMN … · OBSERVATIONS OF CURRENTS, SURFACE WINDS AND BOTTOM PRESSURE IN SHELIKOF STRAIT, AUTUMN 1984 A.T. Roach J.D. Schumacher

Upper layer currents at Section 3 were qualitatively similar to

Section 1. The flow was rectilinear on both sides of the sea valley and the

strong outflow which seldom reversed was on the right side of the Section

(Moorings 7 and 8). There were fewer reversals in the surface layers at

Mooring 9 than Mooring 3, but there was significant inflow in the lower layers

of Section 3. The autumn baroclinic spinup (Royer, 1982; Reed and Schumacher,

1981) was most apparent in current and salinity observations from Mooring 7.

The outflowing currents doubled in speed and salinity decreased by 1 ppt

during September through mid-October.

The mean current was generally weaker at Section 2 than at the Sections

across the sea valley. At Moorings 5 and 6 there was an autumn spin up with

increased alongshe1f speeds and reduced salinity which occurred simultaneously

with the transition at Mooring 7. Currents at Mooring 4 showed little effect

from the transition, remaining primarily alongshore, while currents at

Moorings 5 and 6 were directed offshore. This divergence was present after

the transition and may be a persistent feature.

4. TIME SERIES SPECTRA

A. Currents

The variance preserving spectra for all 34 current meters, 4 surface wind

and 6 pressure gauge records are presented in Figs. 54-65. In general,

fluctuations of the along-channel current were significantly larger than the

across-channel component at the edges of the sea valley (Moorings 1, 3, 7,

9). Current fluctuations were most energetic at the surface, with the notable

exception of Mooring 3. At that location (and to a lesser extent, at

Mooring 8), the variance increased in the deepest layer (Fig. 67). Comparison

with the band averaged frequency distribution shows this increase in variance

at depth was iri the diurnal~and two- to five-day bands (Fig. 68). There was a

60% decrease 1n total variance between the 26-m and 56-m records at

Mooring 6.

8

Page 13: NOAA Technical Memorandum ERL PMEL-74 STRAIT, AUTUMN … · OBSERVATIONS OF CURRENTS, SURFACE WINDS AND BOTTOM PRESSURE IN SHELIKOF STRAIT, AUTUMN 1984 A.T. Roach J.D. Schumacher

Spectra from Section 1 show the majority of kinetic energy at Moorings 1

and 3 to be along the major axis. There was a shift from low frequency energy

at the surface to higher frequencies at the bottom for both locations. There

was a surface intensification of the high frequency signal at Mooring 1, while

mid-frequency energy (five to ten days) increased till mid-depth then

decreased. There was, however, a consistent eight-day signal at all depths at

that location. The cross-channel component at Mooring 3 showed a uniform

distribution over the low frequencies separated from a significant

mid-frequency band of five to eight days. The spectra from Mooring 2 showed

the division of variance between the 220 0 T and 3l0 o T components to be nearly

equal. There was a concentration of energy in a cross-channel peak at three

days, whereas the energy centered at eight days contained an equal amount of

variance in both components.

Spectral peaks for the along- and across-channel components for Section 2

(250 0 T and 340 o T, respectively) were usually well separated. Often a strong

signal in one component meant less energy in the orthogonal component (e.g.

the twelve day peak at 5_1/26, Fig. 58). There was more along-channel energy

at low frequencies, especially at Mooring 6 (Fig. 59).

Along sea valley energy dominated all records from Section 3, except in

the surface layer of Mooring 8. The currents on the sides of the sea valley

had strong low frequency signals with a subsidiary peak at eight days.

Mooring 8_4/205 (Fig. 61) showed a four-day peak which may be associated with

inflow events. Section 3 had a lower percentage of its variance at higher

frequencies than Section 1, even though their spectral structures were similar

(Figs. 68, 70).

At the moorings in the center of each section, the currents are best

described using rotary spectra (Fig. 66). At periods greater than five days,

the current energy at Mooring 2 was equally divided between clockwise and

counterclockwise components. At shorter periods, there was significantly more

9

Page 14: NOAA Technical Memorandum ERL PMEL-74 STRAIT, AUTUMN … · OBSERVATIONS OF CURRENTS, SURFACE WINDS AND BOTTOM PRESSURE IN SHELIKOF STRAIT, AUTUMN 1984 A.T. Roach J.D. Schumacher

counterclockwise energy in the upper layer and more clockwise energy 1n the

lower layer. Current behavior at Mooring 8 was similar to Mooring 2 at depth,

but had significantly more counterclockwise energy over most periods near the

surface. Mooring 5 had no consistent pattern of rotational energy.

B. Wind and Bottom Pressure Spectra

The onshore/offshore component of the surface winds was consistently more

energetic than the alongshore component, except at a period of eight days

(Fig. 63). There was a significant alongshelf peak at that period in each of

the four wind series. There was a consistent low frequency signal (centered

at 17 days) in the cross-shelf component at all locations. The bottom

pressure gauges had a bimodal structure with the primary peak at twenty days,

which held most of the energy, and a secondary peak at five to six days

(Fig. 65).

5. TIME SERIES RELATIONS

A. Currents

Tables 6 to 16 present correlation matrices for current and transport

series versus surface winds, bottom pressures, and bottom pressure

differences. In general, correlations were greatest in the vertical, but weak

or insignificant across a section. For example, currents were correlated

within Mooring 2, but virtually no correlation existed across the strait

(Table 6). At Mooring 1 there was a tendency for the surface current to be

decoupled from the bottom current. The decoupling was more complete at

Mooring 3, where the currents above 106 m were well related to each other, as

were those below 165 m. Those two groups, however, were not significantly

correlated with each other (95% level). This surface-to-bottom difference was

also suggested in the time scale estimates (Fig. 71) (Allen and Kundu,

1978).

10

Page 15: NOAA Technical Memorandum ERL PMEL-74 STRAIT, AUTUMN … · OBSERVATIONS OF CURRENTS, SURFACE WINDS AND BOTTOM PRESSURE IN SHELIKOF STRAIT, AUTUMN 1984 A.T. Roach J.D. Schumacher

Correlations between the currents in Section 2 (Table 7) were generally

weaker than those in Section 1. The highest correlations in the vertical

existed at Mooring 6, but may have been due to less vertical separation of the

meters.

The greatest cross-channel correlations were found between Moorings 7 and

8 in Section 3 (Table 8). The correlations between currents in the upper

layer at Mooring 7 and 9 were negative, while currents in the bottom layers of

7 and 9 were positively correlated. This relation is interesting since

correlations were not significant between Moorings 8 and 9. The negative

correlations suggest the presence of eddy-like features (such as those found

in satellite imagery), while the positive correlations and time scale

differences imply such features are restricted to the upper water column.

Most of the time scales are comparable at about 100 hours, except those at the

bottom of Mooring 9, which dropped to half that value (Fig. 71).

At most frequencies, coherence squared estimates showed similar results

to those seen in the correlations; strong coherence in the vertical, weak or

non-existent coherence in the horizontal (Figs. 72-74). At Section 1, the

strongest coherences in the vertical were at the shortest periods. At longer

periods, the bottom flow decoup1ed from the surface, especially at the sides

of the channel. Diagrams combining Sections 2 and 3 showed more structure

(Figs. 75-77). Coherence was weak at the shortest period and, similar to

results from Section 1, the bottom current decoup1ed from the surface at the

longest period. There was coherence in the horizontal current structure ~n

the upper 106 m from mooring 6 to 8, particularly at about 17 days.

Correlations between transports are given in Table 9. At each section,

the surface and bottom transports were well correlated. We note that

transports were more highly correlated than currents because transport ~s mass

flux, a conservative property. Section 2 was best correlated with the

transport estimated upstream at Section 1. The lack of correlation between

11

Correlations between the currents in Section 2 (Table 7) were generally

weaker than those in Section 1. The highest correlations in the vertical

existed at Mooring 6, but may have been due to less vertical separation of the

meters.

The greatest cross-channel correlations were found between Moorings 7 and

8 in Section 3 (Table 8). The correlations between currents in the upper

layer at Mooring 7 and 9 were negative, while currents in the bottom layers of

7 and 9 were positively correlated. This relation is interesting since

correlations were not significant between Moorings 8 and 9. The negative

correlations suggest the presence of eddy-like features (such as those found

in satellite imagery), while the positive correlations and time scale

differences imply such features are restricted to the upper water column.

Most of the time scales are comparable at about 100 hours, except those at the

bottom of Mooring 9, which dropped to half that value (Fig. 71).

At most frequencies, coherence squared estimates showed similar results

to those seen in the correlations; strong coherence in the vertical, weak or

non-existent coherence in the horizontal (Figs. 72-74). At Section 1, the

strongest coherences in the vertical were at the shortest periods. At longer

periods, the bottom flow decoup1ed from the surface, especially at the sides

of the channel. Diagrams combining Sections 2 and 3 showed more structure

(Figs. 75-77). Coherence was weak at the shortest period and, similar to

results from Section 1, the bottom current decoup1ed from the surface at the

longest period. There was coherence in the horizontal current structure ~n

the upper 106 m from mooring 6 to 8, particularly at about 17 days.

Correlations between transports are given in Table 9. At each section,

the surface and bottom transports were well correlated. We note that

transports were more highly correlated than currents because transport ~s mass

flux, a conservative property. Section 2 was best correlated with the

transport estimated upstream at Section 1. The lack of correlation between

11

Sections 2 and 3 may have resulted from the combined (baroclini~and

barotropic) current components at Section 1 becoming separated downstream.

That is, the barotropic component may have followed the sea valley, while

surface intensified baroclinic flow continued through Section 2.

Ten-day averages of surface, bottom and total transport for each section

are shown in Fig. 78. In the surface layer, transport was comparable at

Sections 1 and 3 with concurrent maxima. The maxima at Section 2 lagged those

at the other two sections. Bottom transport was greatest at Section 1 except

for a short period in November. Since the depth at which upper and lower

layers were divided was not exactly the same at each section, comparison of

surface or bottom transport between sections is more difficult than examining

total transport. There were three periods, separated by weak flow, when total

transport at Section 1 or 3 exceeded 1 Sv. Transport at Section 1 exceeded

combined flow at 2 and 3 for only three of the 10-day averages. During two

20-day periods outflow at 3 alone exceeded flow at 1. Total transport at

Section 2 increased slowly to its maximum and lagged rapid increases in

transport at Sections 1 and 3.

B. Current vs. Surface Wind

Major axis currents showed their highest correlation with the Barren

Islands surface wind series, several hundred kilometers to the north.

Table 10 shows the maximum correlations and associated lags between each of

these time series. Their relationships varied strongly as a function of wind

angle, but stayed constant for 20-30° around the aXiS of maXimum

correlation. For most of the current series, the wind component for maXimum

correlation lay in the along channel/onshore quadrant. It appeared that local

winds played a minor role in current fluctuations during this study, but that

larger scale atmospheric circulation had an important effect.

Sections 2 and 3 may have resulted from the combined (baroclini~and

barotropic) current components at Section 1 becoming separated downstream.

That is, the barotropic component may have followed the sea valley, while

surface intensified baroclinic flow continued through Section 2.

Ten-day averages of surface, bottom and total transport for each section

are shown in Fig. 78. In the surface layer, transport was comparable at

Sections 1 and 3 with concurrent maxima. The maxima at Section 2 lagged those

at the other two sections. Bottom transport was greatest at Section 1 except

for a short period in November. Since the depth at which upper and lower

layers were divided was not exactly the same at each section, comparison of

surface or bottom transport between sections is more difficult than examining

total transport. There were three periods, separated by weak flow, when total

transport at Section 1 or 3 exceeded 1 Sv. Transport at Section 1 exceeded

combined flow at 2 and 3 for only three of the 10-day averages. During two

20-day periods outflow at 3 alone exceeded flow at 1. Total transport at

Section 2 increased slowly to its maximum and lagged rapid increases in

transport at Sections 1 and 3.

The highest correlation of the surface winds at each mooring was with the

bottom currents, except at Mooring 1. The amount of variance explained by the

wind in the deep currents was 40%. The corresponding relationship with the

more energetic surface currents was weak. The highest correlations were

between the onshore component of the wind and Moorings 7 and 8.

Transports were better correlated with winds than were currents, with

Section 3 yielding the best results (Table 11). Like the currents, the

strongest correlations were with the onshore component of the wind. We found

the strongest correlation with the winds rotated 40° clockwise from the

orographic axis, which is in agreement with recent findings from comparisons

of measured winds and gradient winds in the Northern Gulf of Alaska (Luick

et al., 1987).

C. Currents vs. Bottom Pressure

Correlations between currents versus along- and across-channel pressure

differences are presented in Tables 12 to 14. The correlations between the

pressure difference series themselves are in Table 15. In the sea valley, the

largest correlations were with currents on the right side, while there was

little or no correlation with currents on the left side. The pressure

differences which incorporated the pressure series from Mooring 1 were

negatively correlated with all current series except at Mooring 9. These

relations were strongest at Mooring 6, 7, and 8, although Mooring 2 showed

some relation to PGI-PG4. The best overall correlation was with the cross­

shelf difference of PG6-PG9, which had high coefficients with all records

except currents at Moorings 3, 5, and 9. That cross-shelf pressure difference

accounted for up to 60% of the variance in the bottom currents on the right

hand side of Section 3. Section 1 current was best correlated with the

pressure differences measured at Section 3, while currents at the other two

sections were best correlated with the pressure differences measured

locally.

Transport versus bottom pressure differences (Table 16) echo the results

above. Transports through Section 2 and 3 were best correlated with local

across-shelf differences, while transport at Section 1 was only weakly

correlated with its local pressure. All along-channel pressure differences

had negative correlation to transport, except at the bottom layer of

Section 3.

6. SUMMARY

Analysis of current, bottom pressure and surface wind time series from 25

August 1984 to 12 January 1985 resulted in the following observations:

1) The non-locally forced Alaska Coastal Current (ACC) induced a strong

mean flow. Currents in the upper 100 m on the northern side of Shelikof

Strait (Section 1) were 15 to 25 cm/s toward the southwest; on the northern

side of the section between Sutwick and the Semidi Islands (Section 2) they

were 7 to 12 cm/s directed along the Alaska Peninsula; and on the western side

of the sea valley between Semidi and Chirikof Islands (Section 3) they were 10

to 25 cm/s seaward. Outside the direct influence of the ACC, mean currents

were weak. On the southern side of Shelikof Strait, mean currents in the

upper water column did not differ significantly from zero. On the southern

side of Section 2 flow was 1 to 6 cm/s, and on the eastern side of Section 3,

a 4- to 6-cm/s current flowed seaward. Entrainment of bottom water into the

ACC may have been responsible for the statistically significant mean

estuarine-like flow (Reed et al., 1986) into the sea valley, which was about

3 cm/s on the eastern side of Section 3 and 5 to 7 cm/s on the southern side

of the Strait proper. The current observations support earlier studies

(Schumacher and Reed, 1986) which suggest the ACC is bifurcated in the

vicinity of the Semidi Islands, one branch flowing seawards and the other

along the Peninsula.

2) The mean transports were 0.68 Sv and 0.26 Sv, flowing seaward and

along the peninsula, respectively. Using these transport values, we estimate

approximately 75% of the ACe volume flux flows seaward through the sea

valley. Autumn baroc1inic spin up was evident in transport and salinity time

series.

3) Fluctuations in currents were generally well correlated in the

vertical, particularly in the upper 106 m, while in the horizontal, they were

either weakly or insignificantly correlated. Scales of horizontal correlation

and coherence were less than the 8- to 15-km mooring separation. An exception

to the low coherences in the horizontal was observed between currents at

moorings 6 and 7, near the Semidi Islands, where coherence s~uared estimates

of about 0.60 existed at several frequencies.

4) Although a significant part of current and transport fluctuations

could be accounted for by surface winds, the nature of this relation is

unclear. The best relations between surface winds and currents were with a

wind 200 kilometers northeast and rotated 20° to 60° clockwise from its

orographic axis.

5) There was a significant correlation between the across channel

pressure difference and the currents (or transports). There was an indication

that the winds drove the pressure differences and thereby the currents. The

cross-channel pressure difference at Section 3 was the series that was best

correlated with the wind fluctuations along 245°T.

The 10-day averages of transport opened up many areas for further

investigation. First, there were three main peaks in the averages. The

complete record (340 days) at Section 3 will be examined to see if this

pattern continued, and if it was due to convergence and divergence of the ACC

by winds or by other mechanisms. A more careful examination of the apparent

lag of the transport at Section 2 is necessary to determine whether it was

significant and if so what caused it. The combined outflow through Section 2

and 3 exceeded the flow through Section 1 for most of the 10-dayperiods.

When transport through Section 1 exceeded that through 2 and 3 there followed

shortly thereafter a large excess through 2 and 3. Is the transport through

Sections 2 and 3 consistently larger than that through 1, except for short

periods where there is a piling up of water due to atmospheric conditions

followed by a relaxation?

Table 2.--Current meter statistics for Moorings #1, #2, and #3. The RMS erroris calculated as {S/{L/t)~} where S is the standard deviation of theseries, L is the length of the series in hours and t is the integral timescale after Allen and Kundu, 1982. The variance is calculated along theprincipal axes shown as U and V and is written as MAJOR/minor axisvariance. DIR ~s the ~xis of greatest variance and the ellipse is thequotient (MAJOR~/minor~).
