Artificial radionuclides, induced in water used as a coolant in the Hanford reactors, are discharged into the Pacific Ocean by the Columbia River. Gamma-ray spectrometric measurements show that levels of 65Zn decrease in both sediments and benthic animals with distance from the mouth of the river and with depth of...
During July 1970, albacore boats trolling surface jigs (jig boats) had record catches in an area off the mouth of the Columbia River. The jig fishery declined suddenly in late July and was poor throughout the remainder of the summer. No obvious oceanographic changes were correlated with these drastic changes...
One of the biggest advantages of remote sensing is that large areas of the earth's surface can be surveyed in short periods of time, providing nearsynoptic "pictures." Repeated surveys of one area, like time-lapse photography, can be interpreted as a movie to illustrate the dynamics of detectable features. These attributes...
Knowledge of the pelagic organisms in vast areas of the open ocean is very limited. This is particularly true of the small nekton or swimming forms such as fishes, squid, prawns and euphausiids, which are important as intermediate animals in the food chain and are preyed upon by species such...
Atmospheric surface layer turbulent statistics measured during the Barbados Oceanographic and Meteorological Experiment 8 and 30 m above mean sea level are presented. The budget equations of turbulent kinetic energy, humility variance and temperature variance are examined. Within discussed limitations it is concluded that production equals dissipation in the case...
