B) to obtain dynamic height and geostrophic current plots. For obtaining these plots, it is assumed that the data are quasi-synoptic (, the dynamic structure was assumed to have not changed much over the period of sampling). 2. Other Data Acquired a. Satellite Imagery To provide real-time analysis and depiction of the jet and its movement, satellite images from Scripps Satellite Oceanography Facility (SSOF) were transmitted as soon as they were received to the ship through WWD, the radio station located at Scripps, via the facsimile (FAX). The infrared (IR) images used were advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) images from the NOAA-9 satellite. In contrast, 14.
