Santa Barbara Channel Inner-Shelf
The primary goals of this research are to collect surface current data over the inner-shelf
of the Santa Barbara Channel with Pacific Gyre's
"Microstar"
Lagrangian drifters, and use the data to:
See this experiment's:
- Identify characteristic features of the flow field such as convergences, divergences and cross shelf transports.
- Determine the surface velocity and velocity variance distributions.
- Examine flow patterns on scales that are too small to be resolved in CODAR current measurements.
- Investigate how well particle paths determined from Eulerian CODAR fields represent measured Lagrangian flows.

Overview maps
Dots are deployment stations, plus symbols are oil platforms, and lines of bathymetry are the same depths as those designated on the colorbar to the right.
