Present GEK (Geomagnetic Electrokinetograph) theory is extended
to include internal waves of the lowest mode. The predicted
towed electrode GEK signal is determined to second-order for long-crested
internal waves in a finite but deep ocean. The analysis includes
the determination of GEK signatures for small amplitude and
finite amplitude interfacial...
The effectiveness of the passive anti-roll tank system aboard
the R/V YAQUINA was determined. Measurements of ship roll,
effective waveslope and tank water transfer were analyzed using a
systems analysis technique. Time series of the inputs and outputs of
the ship/tank system and of the tank itself were processed using...
A varied and complex assemblage of fishes inhabit the coastal waters of Oregon. The variety of habitats, the ocean current patterns, and the geographical placement (42° to 46° N) of this coast allow for visitation and colonization by northern and southern inshore fishes as well as those from the open...
Eleven cruises were conducted on the Oregon continental slope from April 1973 to March 1975 to assess the biology and ecology of the Tanner crab, Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun. Bathymetric and seasonal analysis of the distribution of adult Tanner crabs west of Coos Bay, Oregon, revealed no segregation of sexes or...
During eleven cruises conducted off the Oregon continental
slope from April 1973 to March 1975, approximately 1600 specimens
of the majid crab Chionoecetes tanneri Rathbun were collected.
A time sequence of size frequency histograms and bivariate plots of
allometric measurements were used to determine size classes,
population structure, growth and...
A multidisciplinary western Beaufort Sea Ecological Cruise
(WEBSEC) was conducted from August 15 to September 20, 1971.
During the cruise, one hundred ninety-nine 0.1 m² Smith-McIntyre
grabs samples were taken at forty stations located on the continental
shelf and slope of the western Beaufort Sea. The Gammaridean
Amphipoda and Cumacea...
