摘要

Abstract

Beta spiral technique can be used to determine the three dimensional velocity field

usually in the open ocean

as functions of depth at a single location. This work is aimed at applying the method to the lower layers in the western boundary area of the Pacific at two locations covered by 5 CTD stations each and then using the results to study the vertical structure of the western boundary current in the Pacific.
