  • Ecological aspects of two wood-boring molluscs from the continental terrace off Oregon

    Creator:
    Tipper, R. C.
    Abstract:
    A mooring system was designed and constructed to make possible the installation and the recovery of racks of sample panels for a study of deep-ocean wood-boring molluscs. Racks containing pine, fir, oak, and cedar boards were exposed to borer attack at six stations with depths of 50, 100, 150, 200,...

  • Studies on the occurrence, physiology, and ecology of bioluminescence in dinoflagellates

    Creator:
    Esaias, Wayne E.
    Abstract:
    To provide further information on the occurrence and geographical variations of bioluminescent capabilities of marine dinoflagellates, forty species, representing twelve genera, of dinoflagellates from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, were examined for bioluminescence as single cell isolates. Seventeen species from the genera Ceratium (1 sp.), Gonyaulax (3 sp.), and Peridinium (13 sp.)...

  • Attenuation of compressional waves in the earth's mantle

    Creator:
    Sarmah, Suryya Kanta
    Abstract:
    Fourier transformed amplitudes of the compressional waves recorded between 9° and 91° (about 1000 to 10,000 km) epicentral distance from Gnome, Shoal, Haymaker,and Bilby underground nuclear explosions have been compared with Fourier transformed amplitudes of P waves measured at distances between 9.0 and 1 3. 0 km from the explosions....

  • Processes affecting the oceanic distribution of carbon dioxide

    Creator:
    Culberson, Charles Henry
    Abstract:
    The stoichiometric model of organic decomposition in seawater (Redfield, Ketchum, and Richards, 1963) was used to describe the oceanic distribution of total carbon dioxide. It was assumed that the concentration of total carbon dioxide was the sum of three terms: (1) the initial concentration of carbon dioxide, (2) the increase...

  • Particles in the eastern Pacific ocean : their distribution and effect upon optical parameters

    Creator:
    Carder, Kendall L.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of particles in the Eastern Pacific Ocean was investigated from 2 January to 14 February, l969, on the YALOC-69 cruise of Oregon State University. The size distributions were well fitted by the two-parameter Weibull distribution function, with a predominant number of them nearly exponential in distributional shape. Although...

  • Continental shelf sediments, Columbia River to Cape Blanco, Oregon

    Creator:
    Runge, Erwin John
    Abstract:
    Sediments on the inner portion of the Oregon continental shelf consist of clean, well-sorted, detrital sand. This sand has an average median diameter of 2.53Φ (. 173 mm) and is both positively and negatively skewed. Deposits with median diameters in the coarse sand and gravel classes occur at depths of...

  • Antarctic intermediate water in the South Pacific Ocean

    Creator:
    Johnson, Ron (Ronald E.)
    Abstract:
    The distribution of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South Pacific has been examined using a model of horizontal advection, along the Sigma-t surface 27.10, with three point vertical mixing. The core of the Antarctic Intermediate Water mass was traced from the Antarctic Convergence northward. The charts used to describe the...

  • Climate and heat exchange in the oceanic region adjacent to Oregon

    Creator:
    Lane, Robert Kenneth
    Abstract:
    The climate and the exchange of heat between atmosphere and ocean are examined in a region adjacent to Washington and Oregon, and in two sub-regions adjacent to Oregon. The sub-regions are chosen such that one contains the nearshore upwelling region and the other borders it on the seaward side. The...

  • On the abyssal temperatures of the world oceans

    Creator:
    Olson, Boyd Ellertson
    Abstract:
    In comparison with solar radiation, the energy of geothermal heat flowing through the sea bottom is extremely small; nevertheless, this energy is not insignificant in the circulation of the bottom water. Calculations indicate that in the deep basins of the South Atlantic the water volume transport necessary to remove this...
