Objective Maps of Near-Surface Flow States near Point Conception, California

Dever, E. P. (American Meteorological Society, 2004-02)

Objective streamfunction and velocity potential maps of three commonly observed flow states near Point Conception, California, are derived from moored current-meter and drifter observations. The states are defined using ...
Oblique strike-slip faulting of the central Cascadia submarine forearc

Goldfinger, Chris; Kulm, LaVerne D.; Yeats, Robert S.; McNeill, Lisa; Hummon, Cheryl (American Geophysical Union, 1997-04-10)

At least nine WNW trending left-lateral strike-slip faults have been mapped on the Oregon-Washington continental margin using sidescan sonar, seismic reflection, and bathymetric data, augmented by submersible observation ...
Observation of playa salts as nuclei in orographic wave clouds

During the Ice in Clouds Experiment‐Layer Clouds (ICE‐L), dry lakebed, or playa, salts from the Great Basin region of the United States were observed as cloud nuclei in orographic wave clouds over Wyoming. Using a coun ...
Observation of sound focusing and defocusing due to propagating nonlinear internal waves

Luo, J.; Badiey, M.; Karjadi, E. A.; Katsnelson, B.; Tskhoidze, A.; Lynch, J. F.; Moum, J. N. (Acoustical Society of America, 2009-09)

Fluctuations of the low frequency sound field in the presence of an internal solitary wave packet during the Shallow Water ’06 experiment are analyzed. Acoustic, environmental, and on-board ship radar image data were ...
Observational and theoretical studies of the dynamics of mantle plume-mid-ocean ridge interaction

Ito, G.; Lin, J.; Graham, David W. (American Geophysical Union, 2003-11-20)

Hot spot–mid-ocean ridge interactions cause many of the largest structural and chemical anomalies in Earth’s ocean basins. Correlated geophysical and geochemical anomalies are widely explained by mantle plumes that deliv ...
An Observational Estimate of Volume and Freshwater Flux Leaving the Arctic Ocean through Nares Strait

Munchow, Andreas; Melling, Humfrey; Falkner, Kelly K. (American Meteorological Society, 2006-11)

The Arctic Ocean is an important link in the global hydrological cycle, storing freshwater and releasing it to the North Atlantic Ocean in a variable fashion as pack ice and freshened seawater. An unknown fraction of thi ...
Observations and modeling of coastal internal waves driven by a diurnal sea breeze

Lerczak, James A.; Hendershott, M. C.; Winant, C. D. (American Geophysical Union, 2001-09-15)

During the Internal Waves on the Continental Margin (IWAVES) field experiments of 1996 and 1997 off of Mission Beach, California (32.75° N), we observed energetic, dirunal-band motions across the entire study site in wat ...
Observations from CEAREX "O" Camp, Arctic Ocean, March-April 1989

Levine, Murray D.; Oregon State University. College of Oceanography (Corvallis, Or. : College of Oceanography, Oregon State University, 1991-04)
Observations from LEADEX, Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean : March-April 1992

Levine, Murray D.; Oregon State University. College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (Corvallis, OR : Oregon State University, College of Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences, 1993-04)
Observations from moorings on the Oregon continental shelf, May-August 2001 : a component of the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) experiment

Boyd, Timothy John; Levine, Murray D.; Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-; Gard, Steve R.; Waldorf, Walt; Oregon State University. College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences (Corvallis, OR : Oregon State University, College of Oceanic & Atmospheric Sciences, 2002)
Observations from the C1 Mooring during ocean storms in the N.E. Pacific Ocean, August 1987-June 1988

Levine, Murray D.; Oregon State University. College of Oceanography (Corvallis, Or. : College of Oceanography, Oregon State University, 1990-04)
Observations of a deep-mixing event in Crater Lake, Oregon

Crawford, G. B.; Collier, Robert W. (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Inc., 1997)

We present observations of the evolution of a deep-mixing event in a deep, temperate lake. The observations were obtained from thermistors mounted on a long-term mooring in the lake. The event seems to have originated ne ...
Observations of Boundary Mixing over the Continental Slope

Moum, J. N.; Caldwell, D. R.; Nash, J. D.; Gunderson, G. D. (American Meteorological Society, 2002-07)

Observations of mixing over the continental slope using a towed body reveal a great lateral extent (several kilometers) of continuously turbulent fluid within a few hundred meters of the boundary at depth 1600 m. The lar ...
Observations of Broadband Acoustic Backscattering From Nonlinear Internal Waves: Assessing the Contribution From Microstructure

Lavery, Andone C.; Chu, Dezhang; Moum, James N. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2010-11-30)

In this paper, measurements of high-frequency broadband (160–590 kHz) acoustic backscattering from surface trapped nonlinear internal waves of depression are presented. These waves are ideal for assessing the contribu ...
