SIGNIFICANT OCEANOGRAPHIC 

 FEATURES OF COASTAL WATER 



Data obtained during the spring and fall 

 1963 at cio.sely spaced stations along nine lines 

 normal to shore between the Columbia River 

 and Cape Cook, Vancouver Island, have per- 

 mitted a description of the significant ocean- 

 ographic features in the spring within 220 km. 

 of the Vancouver Island and Washington 

 coasts and changes that occurred by the suc- 

 ceeding fall. 



Surface geostrophic currents, 0/1,500 db., 

 were similar during l)oth spring and fall. Off- 

 shore water flowed northea.sterly toward the 

 middle of Vancouver Island and then turned 

 toward the northwest generally parallel to the
