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...
Data from the Surveyor 1968 Spring cruise were used to study
the vertical distribution of salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen,
apparent oxygen utilization, pH, alkalinity, specific alkalinity and
percent saturation of calcite in two sections, one along 162°W from
35°N to 45°N and the other along 180°W from 35°N to 50°N....
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...
