Figure 7-8. Same as Fig. 7-3, for February 1977. flow events axe most frequently connected with the ends of the section and show up at points increas- ingly further inside the section with reduced magni- tudes. This is true of the strongest flow events, both northerly and southerly. Prime examples are 15-18 September (Fig. 7-3), 26-28 October (Fig. 7-4), 13-17 November (Fig. 7-5), and a whole series of southerly flow events along the eastern end of the section during December to February (Figs. 7-6 to 7-8). On occasion, a flow change at one end of the section appears appreciably later in the interior of the sec- tion. For example, southerly flow through the eastern end during 22 to 25 September appeared in the interior 28 to 30 September (Fig. 7-3). Further- more, a short time lag of a day or so for flow events at the more interior stations is extremely common in these figures. The analysis and modeling of these flow events is outside the scope of the present de- scription, but many of them are certainly suggestive of long waves propagating along the coasts (in this case, coasts with rather complicated geometry). Figures 7-10 and 7-11 show the spectral distribu- tions of energy for moorings NCI and 7, again taken as representative of two different flow regimes. At NCI the energy is relatively low, except for a strong NC-1 ROTATED 9/01/76 0000 V-COMP 1 OELTfl-T =40 niN 500. T cx >- LJ :z. UJ ID a LlJ 10 10"' 10 FREQUENCY IN CYCLES/DRY Figure 7-10.
