Movement and abundance of lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) in Yaquina Bay Estuary, Oregon: evidence for essential habitat designation

Creator:: Schwager, Tad W.
Abstract:: Lingcod (Ophiodon elongatus) are known to utilize certain estuaries along the Pacific coast of the United States, but the importance of these habitats to the coast-wide population is not well understood. In this study, general patterns of estuarine habitat use were assessed by tracking the movement of sub-adult and adult...

INDOEX aerosol optical depths and radiative forcing derived from AVHRR

Creator:: Tahnk, William Richard
Abstract:: The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) had as a primary objective determining the radiative forcing due to anthropogenic aerosols over climatologically significant space and time scales: the Indian Ocean during the winter monsoon, January-March. During the winter monsoon, polluted, low-level air from the Asian subcontinent blows over the Arabian Sea and...

Occult cloudwater deposition to a forest in complex terrain : measurement and interpretation

Creator:: Kowalski, Andrew S.
Abstract:: Occult deposition is the direct uptake of cloudwater by vegetation that comes into physical contact with wind-driven cloud droplets. This can be a significant pathway for hydrological and chemical fluxes from the atmosphere to some forests. Methods for estimating cloudwater fluxes to forests are reviewed. Previous studies have neglected the...

Form Drag and Mixing Due to Tidal Flow past a Sharp Point

Creator:: Edwards, Kathleen A., MacCready, Parker, Moum, James N., Pawla, Geno, Klymak, Jody M., and Perlin, Alexander
Abstract:: Barotropic tidal currents flowing over rough topography may be slowed by two bottom boundary–related processes: tangential stress of the bottom boundary layer, which is generally well represented by a quadratic drag law, and normal stress from bottom pressure, known as form drag. Form drag is rarely estimated from oceanic observations...

A framework for the preliminary assessment of vulnerability of fisheries-dependent communities

Creator:: Berns, Richard Hunter and Berns, Richard Hunter
Abstract:: Global climate change is projected to have far-ranging effects on the oceans and marine life. In turn, fisheries will likely undergo changes in their distributions and abundance. Coastal Alaskan communities are often highly dependent on commercial fisheries, and as a result will likely be vulnerable to climate change. The purpose...

Characterization of organic matter quality and content in Columbia River suspended particulate matter by cupric oxide oxidation

Creator:: Alleau, Yvan M.
Abstract:: The organic content of the Columbia River suspended particulate matter (SPM) results from the input of autochthonous (phytoplankton) and allochthonous (terrestrial vascular plants) production. The contribution of these two sources appears seasonal and responds to factors such as rainfall, runoff, river flow, light and nutrients availability. While numerous studies have...

Numerical modeling of the global semidiurnal tide in the present day and in the last glacial maximum

Creator:: Egbert, Gary D., Ray, Richard D., and Bills, Bruce G.
Abstract:: A hydrodynamic model incorporating a self‐consistent treatment of ocean self‐attraction and loading (SAL), and a physically based parameterization of internal tide (IT) drag, is used to assess how accurately barotropic tides can be modeled without benefit of data, and to explore tidal energetics in the last glacial maximum (LGM). M2...

Changing export production in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific, 160 ka to present

Creator:: Kish, Stacy W.
Abstract:: The increase in modern atmospheric CO₂ concentration (360 ppm) from pre-industrial levels (280 ppm) raises concern over the impact of anthropogenic carbon dioxide input on atmospheric chemistry. For this reason, it is important to understand the natural fluctuations of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the past. The Vostok ice core record...

Properties of semitransparent upper-level clouds deduced from multispectral imagery data

Creator:: Lin, Xijian
Abstract:: A multispectral retrieval method is developed on the 100 km regional scale to extract the temperature, particle size, fractional cover and 11-μm emissivity of clouds which may be semitransparent in the infrared based on emitted radiances. The scheme utilizes the nonlinear relationship between emitted radiances when clouds are semitransparent and...

Economic costs of long-term sea level rise on the Oregon coast : A case study of the Siletz Littoral Cell

Creator:: Fleck, William K.
Abstract:: Given the broad scientific consensus that global climate is changing, it is no longer a question if sea level will rise, but rather by how much will it rise. The regional estimates for the Eastern Pacific suggest that the Northwest coastlines will experience a greater eustatic sea level rise than...
