Reed, R.K. and Schumacher, J.D. (1989). Some mesoscale features of flow in Shelikof Strait, Alaska. Journal of Geophysical Research 94: doi: 10.1029/89JC01123. issn: 0148-0227.

Moored current observations were obtained from a small region of Shelikof Strait during 1986--1987. Results from two sites 11 km, however, correlations were quite weak. A new feature, intense 13-day spectral peaks of narrow horizontal and vertical scale, was also revealed. The feature appears to be a baroclinic, residual flow linked to tidal currents.
