Description:Measurements of advection for near-surface waters at the 106 Mile Dumpsite were conducted during 1979 and 1980 using Lagrangian techniques.A series of drogued, radio direction finding (RDF) buoys operating on either the 6 MHz or 4 MHz band were deployed and tracked at the dumpsite during March 7-17, 1979, and May 8-16, 1979. A third experiment conducted May 8-24, 1980, resulted in a deployment of RDF buoys both at the 106 Mile Site and at a location on the continental shelf some 34 km northwest of the site. Wind data in the vicinity of the 106 Mile Site and continental shelf areas for each experiment were analyzed and used to compute appropriate Ekman layer velocities. Both these wind data and Ekman layer velocities were then compared with the RDF buoy trajectories.
