The spring transition in currents over the Oregon continental shelf

Creator:

Huyer, Adrianna, 1945-, Sobey, E. J. C., and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-

Abstract:

Current meter moorings maintained over the Oregon continental shelf in 1973 and 1975 clearly show the difference between winter and spring oceanographic regimes and the rapid transition between the regimes. In winter the mean alongshore current is northward at all depths and strongest near shore; there is no mean vertical...

Effects of a Coastal Front on the Distribution of Chlorophyll in Lake Tahoe, California-Nevada

Creator:

Leigh-Abbott, Mark R., Coil, John A., Powell, Thomas M., and Richerson, Peter J.

Abstract:

The existence of a distinct coastal zone is confirmed in Lake Tahoe (California-Nevada) by horizontal transects measuring chlorophyll and temperature simultaneously. Creation of the coastal region is influenced by bottom topography, the nature of the surface wind stress, and the difference between physical processes occurring within a Rossby radius of...
