The results of light scattering measurements made with a Brice-Phoenix photometer and particle size distribution measurements made with a Model A Coulter Counter are presented. The data were collected on five cruises off the Oregon coast during the period June - October 1972. The cruises were a part of the...
Various methods of presenting and mathematically describing particle
size distribution are explained and evaluated. The hyperbolic
distribution is found to be the most practical but the more complex
characteristic vector analysis is the most sensitive to changes in
the shape of the particle size distributions.
Particle size distribution, nutrient concentrations,...
The Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) cruise of Oct and Nov 1982 occupied 1984 stations along a transect from the California coast at 35°N to a study area covering the subtropical front near 32°N, 142°W. This report presents data collected with spectral—radiometer instrument package and particle size distributions of discrete water...
During the WELOC-77 cruise, May 21 - June 18, 1977, hydrographic and light beam transmission measurements were simultaneously made in situ off the coast of Peru on R/V WECOMA. Temperature, salinity and light
transmission data are listed for standard depths, and their vertical profiles are also presented.
Summertime, wind-driven upwelling off the Oregon coast delivers nutrient rich water to the surface that fuels the autotrophic production of particulate organic carbon (POC). This POC can be transported horizontally by fluid motions and vertically by sinking to the bottom where it can be entrained in the benthic boundary layer...
During the W7711A cruise, from November 5 through November
13, 1977, a series of measurements were made on the hydrography, suspended particulate matter (spm), nutrients, first and second trophic level biomasses, primary productivity and zooplankton species for the purpose of gaining concurrent winter time information on these parameters. The cruise...
Wind-driven coastal upwelling brings subsurface water onto the central-Oregon shelf after the spring transition each year. This cold and salty source water is oxygen-poor, yet above the hypoxic threshold, dissolved oxygen < 1.4 ml l⁻¹. Once on the shelf, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of upwelled near-bottom waters are modified by...
The data set presented here includes the discrete depth profile data and time series data
from the vertical profiling cruises carried out as a portion of the “Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport” (COAST) project. The primary purpose for collection of this data set was to calibrate the optical parameters...
Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...
