An examination of the spectrum for coastal winds on the mesoscale

Creator:: Frye, Daniel Evan
Abstract:: Wind speed data were taken at a weather station on the coast and horizontal wind speed energy spectra were computed. The shape of an average spectrum obtained in marine environment is compared with an average land spectrum and the presence of a spectral gap is observed in the shoreline spectrum....

A comparison of eddy correlation and dissipation techniques for computing the fluxes of momentum, heat and moisture in the marine boundary layer

Creator:: Paquin, James Edward
Abstract:: The results of measurements of the fluxes of momentum, moisture and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer are described. Two techniques for obtaining the fluxes are discussed. The fluxes of these quantities are most directly obtained by the eddy correlation method, that is, by measuring the fluctuating vertical and...

Towed electrodes in the sea : theory and use

Creator:: Curtin, T. B. (Thomas B.)
Abstract:: The sea as a dynamic conducting medium interacts continually with the earth' s magnetic field. The physical principles underlying this interaction are reviewed. These results are applied to the particular problem of towed electrodes at the sea surface. Data using this method are then shown to be sensitive to stability...

The fluxes of latent and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer

Creator:: Phelps, George Thomas
Abstract:: Measurements of the fluctuations of humidity, temperature and velocity were made in the marine boundary layer. The humidity fluctuations were measured with a Lyman-alpha humidiometer. Temperature fluctuations were measured with a dry thermocouple and a platinum resistance thermometer. Velocity fluctuations were measured with a three component sonic anemometer. These measurements...

Seasonal distribution of nutrients off the coast of Oregon, 1968

Creator:: Ball, David Stephen
Abstract:: Phosphate, silicate and nitrate concentrations in the sea off the coast of Oregon were determined to study their seasonal distribution patterns. The water samples were collected monthly along the east-west hydrographic line off Newport, Oregon, from the shore to 165 miles (310 km) offshore. The samples were analyzed by both...

Crustal structures and tectonism in southeastern Alaska and western British Columbia from seismic refraction, seismic reflection, gravity, magnetic, and microearthquake measurements

Creator:: Johnson, Stephen Hans
Abstract:: Seismic refraction measurements along two unreversed lines indicate that the earth's crust is 26 km thick in southeastern Alaska and 30 km thick along the Inside Passage of British Columbia. The crust in southeastern Alaska, north of Dixon Entrance, consists of a layer 9 km thick with a seismic velocity...

The analysis and recommended design of a high-resolution digital data acquisition system for the in situ measurement of various physical and chemical parameters of sea water

Creator:: Albin, Arthur Grayson
Abstract:: The lack of availability of a single, complete paper on the analysis of a digital data acquisition system for in situ oceanographic measurements brought about the present work. In order to compile an accurate technical paper on such a complex system, it was necessary to design, construct, and calibrate a...

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...

Motions of a small spar buoy

Creator:: Dorman, Clive Edgar
Abstract:: The motions of a small spar buoy were measured in deep water. The measured variables were two buoy tilts, three accelerations, two wave slopes and the wave height. The variables were corrected for buoy motion and rotated to stationary coordinates, Fast Fourier Transformed, and analyzed spectrally. Analysis included power spectra,...
