Hydrographic and optical measurements were made in situ in the Congo River and the Angola Basin during May 1978. These measurements were made by members of the optical oceanography group at Oregon State University in cooperation with scientists from the Netherlands Institute for Sea Research. The data taken by the...
CTD observations were made in the CODE region between Pt. Arena (39°N) and Pt. Reyes (38°N) during 20-24 April 1982. The observations were made along seven sections: Irish Gulch, Arena, North, Code-North, Code Central, Code-2 Central and Ross Lines, and along the fifty fathom contour. Maximum sampling depth was 1000...
CTD observations were made in the CODE region between Pt. Arena(39° N) and Pt. Reyes(38°N), during 1-4 August 1981. The observations included two repeated sections along the Central Line, one section along the North Line, and one section in the region of the Pt. Ross Line rur during previous cruises....
This report contains the data gathered at Ocean Station "P" in late June and early July of 1971 on the "SUBARCTIC-A" cruise of R/V YAQUINA. The data include: 1) temperature, salinity, and oxygen profiles; 2) estimates of zooplankton displacement volumes at different depths; and 3) estimates of the numerical density...
We designed an experiment to see if turbulence induced by shear instability
could be a mechanism. Using equipment readily available we completed
an experiment from the Ice Island T-3. A sensor array of current meters
and thermistors (described later on) was suspended beneath the sea ice of
Colby Bay, T-3,...
Various methods of presenting and mathematically describing particle
size distribution are explained and evaluated. The hyperbolic
distribution is found to be the most practical but the more complex
characteristic vector analysis is the most sensitive to changes in
the shape of the particle size distributions.
Particle size distribution, nutrient concentrations,...
This report comprises one part of a final report to the Alumax Pacific Aluminwn Corporation on the "Physical, Chemical and Biological Studies of Youngs Bay". The data reported herein are the product of the geochemical baseline section of the project.
The primary objectives of the geochemical study were:
1) to...
The analytical method employed for the Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
project in the Geochemical Ocean Sections Study (GEOSECS) is described
in detail. The method generally follows that of Menzel and Vaccaro as
modified by several subsequent workers including the GEOSECS group at
Oregon State University which carried out the TOC...
Spectral beam attenuation coefficients, spectral volume scattering
function meaurements at 45°, 90°, and 130° particle size distributions
and chlorophyll a and phaeophytin pigment concentrations were measured during
May and September, 1977 in Monterey Bay, California. This data is examined
and statistical interrelationships between the parameters measured are
explored.
It was...
This report presents progress accomplished during the 20-month period from 1 July 1972 through 31 March 1974 as part of the program "Ecological Studies of Radioactivity in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean". This program is a continuing study supported by the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research...
