A method is described for determining the absolute dynamic topography of the sea surface. Using hydrographic and wind data obtained in 1963, the surface topography and the horizontal and vertical mass transports off the southeast Arabian coast during the summer monsoon are calculated. As indicated by the calculations, upwelling occurs...
Direct measurements of vertical water motions were made in
the Oregon coastal region during the 1972 summer upwelling season.
The instruments used were the Webb-Voorhis vertical current meters
which are freely drifting neutrally buoyant floats capable of sensing
vertical motion. It was found that in the region studied, water tended...
A criterion is defined to compare seasonal ice coverage in the
Greenland Sea for the years 1900-57, and the areal coverage is
graphed using the 1898-1913 average as a standard. The factors
wielding possible influence on short-term variations of the ice cover
are examined individually and their relative importance established....
On September 12th 1960, just two months prior to one of the closest
Presidential elections in American history, John F. Kennedy faced the Houston
Ministerial Association and delivered a powerful speech on religion and
Americanism. The "religious issue" of the 1960 campaign drew immense interest
and trumped other issues pertinent...
Cambial activity in white spruce stems in Alaska was observed
from April, 1964 to September, 1965 in over 300 samples taken from
50- to 60-year-old natural stands. Mitotic index was used as a measure
of the rate of periclinal division of fusiform cells in the cambial
zone. Anticlinal divisions are...
