Temperature, salinity, sigma-t and dissipation profiles from the Rapid Sampling Vertical Profiler for six transects as part of the Coastal Transition zone pilot experiment, June 1987.
Temperature observations are presented from 4 Aanderaa thermistor chains suspended from a free-floating surface buoy during October-November 1983 near 33.5° N, 126.5° W as part of the Mixed Layer Dynamics Experiment (MILDEX). Each chain contained 11 sensors; the upper two were 30 min length, the lower two were 100 m...
Wecoma cruise W8806A was conducted in June 1988 as part of the pilot study for the Coastal Transition Zone project. CTD observations were made over a standard grid in the coastal transition zone off northern California between 37° N and 39.5° N that was to be occupied repeatedly during June,...
Hydrographic and CTD measurements were taken from ninety-eight stations between Honolulu, Hawaii and Kodiak, Alaska from 4 May to 4 June 1984 on the second leg of the Marathon Expedition. This report consists of the cruise track, vertical sections, listings of all discrete hydrographic data, a subsample of the CTD...
The coastal zone is the area where the land, sea, air meet.
It has a unique combination of characteristics which favor human
development, trade and industry.
"Coastal climates are more moderate and stable than those of
the interior of the continents, and are usually associated with
sufficient rainfall to sustain...
This report is divided into several sections. The first provides information
on the current status of wetlands, the Corps' regulatory role, its statutory
enforcement authority, and its interpretation of that authority. The next
section describes the Portland District's enforcement structure and procedures.
A case study detailing the District's treatment of...
Past disasters such as mercury poisoning in Minimata, and new problems such as tributyltin impacts on shellfish have maintained public concern about problems caused by chronic discharges of hazardous materials into marine waters (Clark, 1986; U.S. Congress, 1987). However, hazardous chemical spills in coastal waters typically escape public attention. Unlike...
In September 1988, the U.S. Secretary of the Interior and the Governor of Oregon announced the creation of the joint state-federal Placer Minerals Technical Task Force. The group was charged with performing an analysis of the potential economic and environmental aspects of placer mineral mining in the nearshore waters of...
