Monitoring coastal upwelling by measuring its effects within an estuary

Creator:: Bourke, Robert H.
Abstract:: Temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen concentration measured in an estuary were analyzed to determine if the effects of coastal upwelling could be observed and used to effectively monitor the degree of upwelling. Hydrographic data collected weekly at a point four miles from the entrance of Yaquina Bay (Buoy 15) were...

Sea level response to low-frequency atmospheric pressure fluctuations along the northwestern American coast

Creator:: Ma, Heau San
Abstract:: Spectral analysis was used to investigate semidaily mean sea levels and atmospheric pressures at San Francisco, California, Coos Bay, Oregon, and Tofino, British Columbia, in the frequency band 0 to 0.5 cpd. Cross spectral analysis of semidaily mean sea levels and atmospheric pressures at the three stations show that the...

An analysis of upwelling off the south-east Arabian coast during the summer monsoon

Creator:: Bottero, J. S.
Abstract:: A method is described for determining the absolute dynamic topography of the sea surface. Using hydrographic and wind data obtained in 1963, the surface topography and the horizontal and vertical mass transports off the southeast Arabian coast during the summer monsoon are calculated. As indicated by the calculations, upwelling occurs...

Chemistry and hydrography of Oregon coastal waters and the Willamette and Columbia Rivers : March and June, 1971

Creator:: Kantz, Kent William
Abstract:: An inexpensive method for calibrating an infrared analyzer to measure varying ranges of carbon dioxide partial pressures (Pco₂) is described. A discussion is made of the hydrographic (temperature, salinity, and sigma-t) and chemical (dissolved oxygen, AOU, Pco₂ pH, and nutrients) variables that were observed along the Newport hydrographic line in...

A mesoscale study of coastal currents and upwelling off Peru

Creator:: Enfield, David B.
Abstract:: Moored instrument records, drogue displacements, and hydrographic observations are used in describing the coastal currents and upwelling off Peru. The data were obtained over the continental shelf near 15°S. during a two week study in late March and early April of 1969. First order statistics and graphical representations of current...

The ice cover of the Greenland Sea : an evaluation of oceanographic and meteorological causes for year-to-year variations

Creator:: Skov, Niels Aage
Abstract:: A criterion is defined to compare seasonal ice coverage in the Greenland Sea for the years 1900-57, and the areal coverage is graphed using the 1898-1913 average as a standard. The factors wielding possible influence on short-term variations of the ice cover are examined individually and their relative importance established....

A description of hydrography, winds, and currents during the upwelling season near Newport, Oregon

Creator:: Pillsbury, R. Dale
Abstract:: Several series of measurements of the hydrography, currents, and winds during the past ten years are used as a basis for an overview of the physical oceanography and meteorology during the upwelling season near Newport, Oregon. Data are described using elementary statistics, progressive vector diagrams, coordinate system independent spectra, and...

Effects of ⁶⁰Co gamma irradiation on the reproductive performance of the brine shrimp, Artemia

Creator:: Holton, Robert L.
Abstract:: The brine shrimp, Artemia, was used as an experimental organism to study the effects of ⁶⁰Co gamma irradiation on the reproductive performance of an animal population. The total reproductive ability of the brine shrimp was fractionated into various components and the effects of irradiation on each of these components was...

Low frequency variations in the sea level and currents over the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:: Cutchin, David L.
Abstract:: Sea level and current observations made over the Oregon continental shelf exhibit wavelike characteristics in a frequency band from approximately 0.15 to 0.45 cpd. In a narrow band around 0.22 cpd the current-sea level relationship is consistent with the predicted values for the first mode of Robinson's continental shelf waves....
