The Department of Oceanography at Oregon State College
initiated an oceanographic survey of the Oregon coast on July 1,
1958. The purpose of this report is to present salinity,
temperature, and oxygen data collected for the interval from
July 1958 to July 1959, and to present a preliminary interpretation
of...
This is the second report of a study designed to establish the
current patterns and water mass characteristics existing along the
Oregon coast. Surveys reported on previously were concerned with
monthly samples from a maximum depth of 100 feet and out to 25 miles
offshore from Newport, Oregon. Since December...
This report includes the temperature and salinity data collected at nine shore stations along the Oregon coast from the Columbia River south to Bandon, Oregon. The purpose of this study is to obtain basic information and to supplement our monthly offshore oceanographic survey cruises.
This is the third data report of a study designed to determine the
current patterns and water mass characteristics along the Oregon coast.
The first report covered the period July 1958 to July 1959 (Wyatt and
Callaway, 1961). During that year observations were taken to a maximum
depth of 30...
During 1961, a program of shore station sampling of ocean temperatures
and salinities was carried out by the. Oceanography Department of Oregon
State University. This is a continuation of the work reported by
Kujala and Wyatt (1961). Sampling was conducted at 11 locations along
the Oregon coast and at one...
Gravity observations were made with the LaCoste-Romberg underwater
gravity meter during July and August 1962 at 149 stations
in an area 10 by 40 miles (44°10' to 44°50'N latitude and 124°
07' to 124°20'W longitude) off the north-central Oregon coast
from Heceta Head to Depoe Bay. The primary purpose of...
Temperature, salinity, and current measurements extending over one
or more tidal cycles were made at various times during the three-year
period 1960-1962 in Coos Bay, on the central Oregon coast (43°20'N,
124°13'W). Dissolved oxygen was measured occasionally. The three
regular sampling stations are shown in Figure 1. Station A is...
The Department of Oceanography, Oregon State University, has
initiated a program for obtaining weekly samples of surface temperature
and salinity off the Oregon coast. Observations for 1960 and.1961 are
included in two Data Reports: No. 6 (Kujala and Wyatt, 1961) and No. 8
(Oliphant, Wyatt and Kujala, 1962). Data in...
This is the fourth data report of a study designed to determine
the current patterns and water mass characteristics along the
Oregon coast.
All data in this report were collected at stations occupied by
Research Vessel ACONA (Burt and Pattullo, 1961). The
The calibration factor of LaCoste-Romberg , surface-ship gravity
meter 5-9 was checked against a 1200 mgal range of land base stations
along the West Coast of the United States. Previous checks at other
base stations provided conflicting results as to the accuracy of this
meter's calibration factor supplied by the...
