  • Interactions of wind-driven and tidally-driven circulation in the Oregon coastal ocean

    Creator:
    Osborne, John J.
    Abstract:
    Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). The...

  • Above and Below : Oregon Coastal Phytoplankton Bloom Dynamics from Sea and Space

    Creator:
    McKibben, S. Morgaine
    Abstract:
    Phytoplankton are a sentinel class of organisms in the marine environment. Through their photosynthetic activity in sunlit waters worldwide, phytoplankton shape the health and productivity of marine ecosystems and impact the global climate. In this work a range of ocean sensing technologies (via ships, surf zone sampling, moorings, gliders, and...

  • Kinematics and Dynamics of a Model Eastern-boundary Poleward Undercurrent

    Creator:
    Duran, Rodrigo
    Abstract:
    A carefully calibrated primitive-equation model from 41°N to 48°N is used to study the poleward undercurrent off the US west coast. Chapter 2 describes poleward flow over the slope from Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives. The model is robust, in the sense of several characteristics being qualitatively consistent with observational and...
