The distribution of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South
Pacific has been examined using a model of horizontal advection,
along the Sigma-t surface 27.10, with three point vertical mixing.
The core of the Antarctic Intermediate Water mass was traced
from the Antarctic Convergence northward. The charts used to
describe the...
Oregon's commercial fishery for albacore tuna (Thunnus alalunga)
is large, valuable, and variable. Little is known, however, about the
oceanographic factors which determine abundance and distribution of
albacore.
Primarily using logbook data contributed by fishermen, this study
compares albacore catches with selected ocean conditions. The study
is limited to troll-caught...
Current observations were obtained at three locations forming
a cross section along 70°34'W longitude in Long Island Sound. Fifteen
days of data were selected from each series so that nearly
simultaneous observations were used in the analysis.
Elementary statistics were computed for the data prior to
performing a least squares...
