  • Tidal-band and high-frequency internal variability on the central Oregon inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    Analogous to ocean surface waves, waves in the ocean interior also experience steepening, breaking, and dissipation as they approach the coastline. Much less is known about this internal beach. In this work, extensive moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and temperature/salinity data together with optical remote sensing are combined to describe...

  • Inner-shelf circulation off the central Oregon Coast

    Creator:
    Kirincich, Anthony R.
    Abstract:
    Inner-shelf circulation and mechanisms of across-shelf transport of water masses were examined using seven years of observations collected by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) program, a long-term monitoring effort along the central Oregon coast. Since 1998, moored velocity and hydrographic measurements have been obtained during the...
