  • Numerical Simulation of Air–Sea Coupling during Coastal Upwelling

    Creator:
    Perlin, Natalie, Skyllingstad, Eric D., Samelson, Roger M., and Barbour, Philip L.
    Abstract:
    Air–sea coupling during coastal upwelling was examined through idealized three-dimensional numerical simulations with a coupled atmosphere–ocean mesoscale model. Geometry, topography, and initial and boundary conditions were chosen to be representative of summertime coastal conditions off the Oregon coast. Over the 72-h simulations, sea surface temperatures were reduced several degrees near...

  • GIScience

    Creator:
    Wright, Dawn J.
    Abstract:
    GIScience (geographic information science) is a scholarly discipline that addresses fundamental issues surrounding the use of a variety of digital technologies to handle geographic information; namely, information about places, activities, and phenomena on and near the surface of the Earth that are stored in maps or images. GIScience includes the...

  • Data Integration

    Creator:
    Wright, Dawn J.
    Abstract:
    Data integration is the process of combining data of different themes, content, scale or spatial extent, projections, acquisition methods, formats, schema, or even levels of uncertainty, so that they can be understood and analyzed. There is often a common display method used with integrated datasets that, although they are not...

  • Moisture fluxes over snow with and without protruding vegetation

    Creator:
    Mahrt, Larry and Vickers, D.
    Abstract:
    The sublimation of snow and evaporation of melted snow is contrasted between brush, grass and bare ground sites using eddy-correlation data. Averaged over the entire winter season, the evaporation/sublimation is about 20% greater over the brush site than the bare ground site, apparently due to greater supply of snow. Blowing...

  • Observations on the evolution of shoaling nonlinear internal waves in Massachusetts Bay using shipboard X-band radar

    Creator:
    Nelson, Brian G.
    Abstract:
    During four cruises in July and September of 2008 and 2009, the shipboard X-band radar was tuned to detect the modulated bands of surface roughness caused by converging and diverging currents associated with high-frequency nonlinear internal wave (NLIW) packets. The data collected was used to quantify the propagation direction (ϴp),...

  • Correlations of sea surface height and solid earth tides with seismicity in the equatorial Pacific Ocean : a GIS approach

    Creator:
    Zennaro, Barbara
    Abstract:
    In the equatorial Pacific Ocean, earthquakes are used as an indicator of tectonic stress for normal faults in the Galapagos Spreading Center, transform faults along the East Pacific Rise and thrust faults in the Middle American subduction zone. Linkages between seafloor tectonic processes and oceanographic and lunar conditions were explored...

  • Tugboat compliance with the International Maritime Organization Area to be avoided off the Washington Coast

    Creator:
    Smith, Daniel R.
    Abstract:
    Vessel traffic places the sensitive environmental, natural, and cultural resources of Washington’s outer coast at risk of oil or hazardous materials spills. In 1995, International Maritime Organization established the Area to be Avoided off the Washington Coast (ATBA) to reduce this risk. Annual estimates of vessel compliance with the ATBA...

  • Communicating science : developing an exhibit with scientists and educators

    Creator:
    Lemagie, Emily
    Abstract:
    Outreach is a small, but significant component to modern research. Developing an exhibit for public display can be an effective way to communicate science to broad audiences, although it may be a less familiar method to scientists than writing papers or giving presentations. I outline the process of developing an...

  • Online preconcentration ICP-MS analysis of rare earth elements in seawater

    Creator:
    Hathorne, Ed C., Haley, Brian, Stichel, Torben, Grasse, Patricia, Zieringer, Moritz, and Frank, Martin
    Abstract:
    The rare earth elements (REEs) with their systematically varying properties are powerful tracers of continental inputs, particle scavenging intensity and the oxidation state of seawater. However, their generally low (similar to pmol/kg) concentrations in seawater and fractionation potential during chemical treatment makes them difficult to measure. Here we report a...

  • Biases in Earth radiation budget observations, Part II: Consistent scene identification and anisotropic factors

    Creator:
    Ye, Qian and Coakley, James A., Jr.
    Abstract:
    Simple threshold scene identification methods are developed to reduce the effects of errors in scene identifications on the anisotropy of reflected and emitted radiances inferred from Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) scanner observations. The ERBE maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) scene identification is assumed to be accurate for nadir fields of...
