Subsurface temperature data and surface meteorological data are analyzed from thermistor chain moorings deployed near 50°N, 140°W during the Storm Transfer and Response Experiment (STREX). The upper-ocean heat and potential energy (PE) contents to 90 m are examined for an 18-day period and their changes compared to the sources and...
This paper is organized as follows. First, there is a
overview of the U.S. National Marine Sanctuary Program,
including program goals, history and present status, and
sanctuary locations. Trends in multiple use management,
sanctuary size, intergovernmental cooperation, Congressional
intervention in program management, public involvement, and
the 1992 Congressional reauthorization are...
Lamprey eel harvesting has systematically and periodically occurred along the Siletz River and its tributaries for as many as hundreds, or thousands, or tens of thousands of years that human families and lamprey eel populations have coexisted in the Siletz Valley ecosystem. Historical, cultural, and biological information for the twentieth...
In this paper, I will analyze the nature of these
problems and examine how recent approaches to SLRA have
dealt with them. In addition, a framework for assessing the
potential impacts of sea level rise is proposed, drawing
upon the ecological concept of resilience (Holling 1978,
1984).
This report presents time series measurements of velocity, temperature and conductivity made during the Lead Experiment (LEADEX). These observations were made in the Beaufort Sea, Arctic Ocean, in the vicinity of 73°N, 144°W, during March-April 1992. Month-long observations at the base camp were made between the surface and 400 m...
The statistics describing variations of turbulent motions within the so called inertial range of length scales depend on the scale over which the motions are varying and the "average" rate at which the turbulent kinetic energy is being dissipated on the molecular scale. This hypothesis stemmed from the similarity arguments...
This study is the second of a three-part project to determine potential locations for public transient tie-up facilities along the Columbia River. The goal of the three studies is to identify opportunities for developing a network of facilities, which will enable recreational boaters to safely traverse Oregon's portion of the...
I tested the hypothesis that there is a correlation between inundation period and net primary production (NPP) in estuarine salt marshes through an observational experiment at South Slough National Estuarine Reserve, Oregon. I estimated primary production and inundation period for selected monotypic plant communities in (1) a naturally restored wetland...
