  • Geochemical cycling in a Pacific Northwest estuary (Tillamook Bay, Oregon, USA)

    Creator:
    Colbert, Debbie L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis investigates the behavior of major inorganic nutrients (P, N, Si), trace metals (Mn, Fe), and alkaline-earth metals (Ba) within Tillamook Bay over seasonal cycles and under a range of river discharge conditions from October 1997 through December 1999. Located in the Pacific Northwest region, Tillamook Bay is an...

  • Late pleistocene changes in the Peru current based on planktonic foraminifera

    Creator:
    Feldberg, Melissa J.
    Abstract:
    Planktonic foraminiferal faunal assemblages were used to estimate sea-surface temperatures (SST) in the southeast Pacific Ocean during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and off the coast of Peru over the last 150,000 years. Temperatures along the eastern boundary of South America were 6-8° C cooler during the LGM than at...

  • Ecology of Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) during the early life stages in the Eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands

    Creator:
    Sohn, Dongwha
    Abstract:
    Greenland halibut (Reinhardtius hippoglossoides) have decreased in the eastern Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands since the 1970s. The reasons behind the poor recruitment are unknown, and important knowledge gaps of the ecology of the early life stages have been identified. The objectives of thesis research were (1) to examine geographic...

  • Great white mystery : learning from aquarium exhibits

    Creator:
    Wharton, James M.
    Abstract:
    In the summer of 2001 the Oregon Coast Aquarium opened a new exhibit on sharks entitled, "Great White Mystery: What Happened to Surfer Bob?" For the purposes of this study, a survey was designed to determine whether visitors to the new exhibit learned factual information or left with changed attitudes...

  • Air-sea heat exchange along the northern sea surface temperature front in the eastern tropical Pacific

    Creator:
    Thum, Nicolai
    Abstract:
    The atmospheric response to the oceanic forcing in the eastern Pacific along the northern equatorial sea surface temperature (SST) front is investigated in terms of sensible and latent heat flux during the 6-month period 28 July 1999 through 27 January 2000. Of particular interest is the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL)...

  • Development of a rare earth element paleoproxy

    Creator:
    Haley, Brian Alexander, 1973-
    Abstract:
    This thesis describes the development of a rare earth element (REE) proxy for paleoceanographic studies of climate change. This work was done in three stages with the goal: (1) To develop a cleaning method that overcomes the problems of REE readsorption; (2) To measure pore water REEs for evaluation of...

  • A satellite-derived climatology of global ocean winds

    Creator:
    Risien, Craig Miller
    Abstract:
    A satellite-derived Climatology of Global Ocean Winds (COGOW) on a 0.5° latitude by 0.5° latitude grid is presented based on 5-years (August 1999 July 2004) of measurements from the SeaWinds scatterometer that was launched on 19 June 1999 onboard the QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is an active microwave radar that estimates...

  • Numerical and assimilative studies of the equatorial Pacific cold tongue

    Creator:
    Perez, Renellys Christine
    Abstract:
    Numerical model and assimilation experiments were conducted in the tropical Pacific Ocean to obtain a better understanding of the processes that control the cold tongue surface mixed layer temperature balance during August 1999 to July 2004. The numerical model was first applied to test two hypotheses (asymmetric background currents and...

  • Physical and chemical factors controlling the distribution of the major phytoplankton classes at the Antarctic Polar Front, 170 °W

    Creator:
    Mengelt, Claudia
    Abstract:
    This study was part of the Antarctic Environment and Southern Ocean Study (AESOPS) program, whose main goal was to investigate the role of the biota in the carbon flux from the atmosphere to the interior of the ocean. We quantified the abundance of the major phytoplankton classes and examined the...

  • Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

    Creator:
    Cervantes, Brandy T.
    Abstract:
    The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...
