Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

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...

Deep western boundary currents in the southwestern Pacific Ocean : WOCE PCM-9 : February 1991-December 1992

Creator:: Pillsbury, R. Dale, Barstow, D., Bottero, J. M., Pittock, G., Root, D. C., Simpkins, J., III, Still, R. E., and Whitworth, T., III
Abstract:: This report describes current meter measurements from an experiment to measure the deep western boundary current that carries dense water from the Antarctic to the Pacific Ocean. The field measurements were conducted as part of a joint two year experiment by Oregon State University, Texas A&M University, Woods Hole Oceanographic...

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...

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...

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 ARM assay for the measurement of protistan bacterivory rates and ammonium regeneration efficiencies

Creator:: Suzuki, Marcelino
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

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...
