The sea state bias in altimeter estimates of sea level from collinear analysis of TOPEX data

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: The wind speed and significant wave height (H1/3) dependencies of the sea state is in altimeter estimates of sea level, expressed in the form ∆hSSB=bH1/3, are examined from least squares analysis of 21 cycles of collinear TOPEX data. The bias coefficient b is found to increase in magnitude with increasing...

Holocene and latest Pleistocene paleoceanography of the northeast Pacific and its relationship to climate change in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Sabin, Ann Louise
Abstract:: Northeast Pacific Ocean sediments were analyzed to determine the past relationship between northeast Pacific sea surface conditions and the climate on the adjacent continent, the Pacific Northwest of North America. Studies of modern ocean-atmosphere interactions demonstrate the significant effect sea surface conditions and atmospheric circulation in the Northeast Pacific Ocean...

Impacts of demographic and economic change in Oregon's coastal communities : Case studies of Newport, Reedsport, and Gold Beach

Creator:: Zamora Arroyo, Jose Francisco
Abstract:: Coastal communities in Oregon have experienced dramatic economic and demographic change during the 1980s. Although the timber and fishing sectors are still important, the economies of coastal communities now rely more on non-earned income and tourism. Non-earned income sources, such as transfer payments and investment earnings, account for over forty...

Release and consumption of DMSP from Emiliania huxleyi during grazing by Oxyrrhis marina

Creator:: Wolfe, Gordon V., Sherr, Evelyn, and Sherr, Barry F.
Abstract:: Degradation and release to solution of intracellular dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) from Emiliania huxleyi 370 was observed during grazing by the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Oxyrrhis marina in 24 h bottle incubations. Between 30 and 70 % of the lost algal DMSP was metabolized by the grazers without production of dimethylsulfide (DMS) when grazer...

Basic Concepts to Develop a Marine Pollution Monitoring Program at the Tijuana-Ensenada Corridor, Baja California, Mexico

Creator:: Alvarez-Vazquez, Hector
Abstract:: The development of a Marine Pollution Monitoring Program (MPMP), in any coastal area of the world, requires a precise knowledge of the functioning of the local ecosystem. Because of the differences found in every coastal ecosystem, it is important to recognize and characterize the reservoirs and significant environments that maintain...

Aspects of the biology and culture of Scyphomedusae of the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Heitstuman, Thomas M.
Abstract:: Field and laboratory work was undertaken in 1993 to increase understanding of the life history and ecology of the brown jellyfish, Chrysaora fuscescens, a large semaeostome typically abundant in the neritic regions of the Oregon coast during summer months. Few medusae were found during 1993, possibly the result of anomalous...

The Role of Local Governments in the Alaska Coastal Management Program : Local Coastal Management Plans and the State Consistency Review Process

Creator:: Valentine, Christine E.
Abstract:: The Alaska Coastal Management Program (ACMP) is a networked program, using existing state and local authorities and intended to allow joint state-local management of coastal zone resources and uses. The State of Alaska has outlined broad program goals, and the local governments were to specify how those goals and additional...

Tracer transport in the Martian atmosphere as simulated by a Mars GCM

Creator:: Walsh, Thomas D.
Abstract:: This paper investigates the atmospheric circulation and transport characteristics of the Martian atmosphere (as modeled by a Mars GCM) for three sets of conditions. The conditions are based on a combination of season and dust loading (as parameterized by the optical depth, τ). The first experiment is for the Northern...

SEASOAR observations during a COARE surveys cruise, W9211B, 12 December 1992 to 16 January 1993

Creator:: O'Malley, Robert T., Kosro, P. M., Lukas, R., and Huyer, A.
Abstract:: An international Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) was conducted in the warm-pool region of the western equatorial Pacific Ocean over a four-month period from November 1992 through February 1993 (Webster and Lukas, 1992). Most of the oceanographic and meteorological observations were concentrated in the Intensive Flux Array (IFA) centered at...

A study of the relationship between ageostrophy and dynamical periodicities of the tropical Pacific Boundary Layer

Creator:: McCandlish, Cole B.
Abstract:: Eight years (1980-87) of twice-daily high-resolution radiosonde data from a tropical mid-Pacific island station are analyzed to generate time series of the planetary boundary layer (PBL) top pressure, an ageostrophic parameter (related to the divergence), and a parameter of mean PBL specific humidity. Sample spectra of these time series are...

Rocky intertidal oceanography: an association between community structure and nearshore phytoplankton concentration

Creator:: Menge, Bruce A., Daley, Bryon A., Wheeler, Patricia A., and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: On Oregon coastal rocky shores, filter‐feeders were relatively abundant and macrophytes were relatively scarce at Strawberry Hill, whereas opposite abundance patterns occurred at Boiler Bay. To determine whether nearshore oceanographic differences were associated with these patterns, we made shore‐based measurements of nutrient and Chl a concentrations. We used a three‐level...

Benguela Source and Transport Project (BEST) : current measurements off the coast of South Africa : WOCE ACM-4, June 1992-October 1993

Creator:: Pillsbury, R. Dale, Bottero, J. M., Pittock, Glenna, Root, D. C., Simpkins, J., III, and Still, Robert E.
Abstract:: The BEST (Benguela Source and Transport) project was designed to investigate the form of the Benguela Current and ratio of the Aguhlhas Current and South Atlantic Current source waters masses. The transport of the Benguela Current and its variability was measured by a moored array of instruments, inverted echo sounders...

The Coastal Natural Hazards Policy Working Group: The Move to Update Oregon's Coastal Hazards Management

Creator:: Ansevin-Allen, Andrea C.
Abstract:: This paper will attempt to evaluate the prospects of the PWG's success based on their process so far, using models of policy development and implementation from Kingdon (1984), Putt and Springer (1989), and Sabatier and Mazmanian (1983). Because the PWG's work is not finished, the evaluation may help the group...

Alkenones in sediments of Middle Valley, Leg 139 : application as thermal sensors

Creator:: Simoneit, Bernd R. T., Prahl, Fredrick, Leif, R. N., and Mao, S. Z.
Abstract:: The shallow sections of most holes drilled during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 139 contain alkenones derived from prymnesiophyte algae. The alkenones indicate a paleotemperature of the photic zone in the upper ocean during primary carbon fixation of 7°-15°C, with an average of 10.7°C. Based on laboratory hydrous pyrolyses these alkenones...
