In this paper differences and anomalies in west coast seasonal flow
structures have been highlighted. In particular, it was emphasized
that flow off Washington has significant differences from that of
Oregon; namely, during summer, flow at mid-shelf is more poleward
off Washington, and during winter, flow on the inner-shelf is more
equatorward off Washington than off Oregon. The former result may
be related to the poleward decrease in the longshelf wind stress;
the latter result may be related to the presence of the Columbia
River plume. Off southern California the near-surface flow over the
shelf is more persistently equatorward than that off Washington .
Conversely, the flow over the slope in the upper 100 m of the water
column is more persistently poleward than that off washington.
Also, the undercurrent structure, that is, a subsurface maximum, is
maintained at least from summer to early winter off southern
California (no data are yet available from spring), but only during
summer and early fall off washington. We note that the seasonal
cycle of vertical shear in the two locations is similar, although a
reversal in sign sometimes occurs off Washington. ACKNOWLEDGEMZNTS
