The M₂ Internal Tide off Oregon: Inferences from Data Assimilation

Creator:: Kurapov, Alexander L., Egbert, Gary D., Allen, J. S., Miller, Robert N., Erofeeva, Svetlana Y., and Kosro, P. M.
Abstract:: A linearized baroclinic, spectral-in-time tidal inverse model has been developed for assimilation of surface currents from coast-based high-frequency (HF) radars. Representer functions obtained as a part of the generalized inverse solution show that for superinertial flows information from the surface velocity measurements propagates to depth along wave characteristics, allowing internal...

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...

Long-term tracking of climate change by underground temperatures

Creator:: Beltrami, Hugo, Ferguson, Grant, and Harris, Robert N.
Abstract:: Underground temperatures contain a record of past changes in the energy balance at the Earth's surface, such that borehole temperature data can be used to reconstruct long‐term trends of ground surface temperature (GST) changes. In addition to surface air temperature, however, GST is the response of the ground to other...

Ocean Science in The SMILE Program : Combining Ocean Literacy and Concept Mapping as an Aid for Curriculum Development

Creator:: Dover, Laura H.
Abstract:: This study reports on the creation and testing of a model concept-mapping process that will aid the development and documentation of ocean science educational content of The Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (SMILE) Program, a pre-college science and math enrichment program based at Oregon State University. The project uses...

The Effectiveness of the Emergency Rules of 1998, as Implemented During the Erosion Event in Neskowin Oregon, 1999

Creator:: Windrope, Amy
Abstract:: The purpose of this research is two-fold: to evaluate the success of the new emergency procedures promulgated in 1998 and to characterize the erosion event that precipitated the emergency during January, February and March 1999. These two purposes support each other and provide a holistic understanding of how emergencies arise...

Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

Creator:: Early, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

Quantifying linear disturbance growth in periodic and aperiodic systems

Creator:: Wolfe, Christopher Lee
Abstract:: The mathematical and physical connections between three different ways of quantifying linear predictability in geophysical fluid systems are studied in a series of analytical and numerical models. Normal modes, as they are traditionally formulated in the instabilities theories of geophysical fluid dynamics, characterize the asymptotic development of disturbances to stationary...
