The Wavemeter : a land-based system for measuring nearshore ocean waves

Creator:: Zopf, D. O., Creech, H. C., and Quinn, W. H.
Abstract:: This paper describes a method for measuring nearshore ocean wave characteristics with a land-based, long-period vertical seismometer. The wavemeter system has proven to be highly reliable and produces continuous wave observations at low cost. It is now operational at six Coast Guard stations along the Oregon and Washington coasts; data...

The classification and structure of marine macrobenthic assemblages at Arthur Harbor, Anvers Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Richardson, M. D. (Michael D.)
Abstract:: In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait. The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated into 282 taxa, including 108 species...

Two zoogeographic studies of deep sea benthic gammarid amphipods

Creator:: Dickinson, John J. (John Joseph), 1946-
Abstract:: Two separate studies on the distribution of gammarid amphipods in the bathyal and abyssal benthic environments demonstrated that different assemblages could be found at a single depth over distances on the order of 100 kilometers. These studies evaluated changes in the species composition and relative abundance of the amphipod assemblage...

Species specific phytoplankton production rates during a spring diatom bloom in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: McMurray, Gregory R., 1925-
Abstract:: A simplified autoradiographic method for estimating species-specific phytoplankton production rates in mixed natural communities was evaluated in the laboratory and employed in the field. Laboratory experiments were designed to test the reliability and variability of the simplified method. Assays of ¹⁴C uptake by liquid scintillation spectrometry were used to evaluate...

Precise north-south oceanographic transect in the Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Cabrera-Muro, Homero
Abstract:: The Geochemical Ocean Sections Study (GEOSECS) program has carried out an intensive study of physical and chemical parameters in the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. As a result, an enormous collection of high quality data has been amassed for these two oceans. To analyze the Pacific data, fourteen stations extending from...

Comparison of sea level and currents off the Oregon coast using mean monthly data

Creator:: Marthaler, James Gordon
Abstract:: Sea level and current data collected near Newport, Oregon are compared to determine an empirical relationship from which the low frequency (f < .1 cpd) alongshore current field over the continental shelf is estimated from observed sea level measurements at the coast. Regression analysis of the near-surface (20-25 m) currents...

Holocene accumulation rates of pelagic sediment components in the Panama Basin, Eastern Equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Swift, Stephen Atherton
Abstract:: Holocene bulk sediment and component accumulation rates were measured in twenty-eight piston and gravity cores taken from the floor of the western Panama Basin and on the surrounding ridges. Radiocarbon ages and oxygen isotope curves provided Holocene age control in nine cores. Time datums in nineteen other cores were inferred...

Chile trench : extensional rupture of oceanic crust and the influence of tectonics on sediment distribution

Creator:: Schweller, W. J. (William John)
Abstract:: Extensive new trackline coverage of the Chile Trench between 23°S and 34°S, including more than 60 bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles across the trench axis, allows a much more detailed study of the tectonics and sedimentation of this feature than previously possible. Sediment distribution along the axis shows a remarkable...

Recent tropical storm climatology in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and some applications

Creator:: Short, Kent S.
Abstract:: Reliable data for tropical storm occurrences in the northern portion of the eastern Tropical Pacific did not become available until 1966. Considering the years 1966-75, sizeable interannual variations in storm frequency are evident. Six climatological factors are investigated in an attempt to explain this interannual variation. These are: (1) the...

The spring 1976 erosion of Siletz Spit, Oregon, with an analysis of the causative wave and tide conditions

Creator:: McKinney, Barbara Ann
Abstract:: During the period 1970-76, Siletz Spit on the mid-Oregon coast has suffered foredune erosion. This erosion is associated with high wave conditions along the coast, produced by intense storms in the North Pacific. During the winter of 1972-73 and during January through March 1976 the erosion was particularly severe. The...

Factors influencing sex ratio in the estuarine copepod genus Eurytemora

Creator:: Vander Hart, Archie Lee
Abstract:: An investigation was conducted on factors influencing sex ratio in Eurytemora. Fifteen generations of brother/sister mating have produced family lines with a high proportion of either males or females of Eurytemora affinis. On this basis, a polygenic mechanism of sex determination is proposed for E. affinis. Laboratory experiments on the...
