The purposes of this study were threefold: (1) to formulate a
current list of biological principles to use as a checklist in this study;
(2) to utilize the formulated checklist in identifying those principles
required for reading comprehension of news articles concerning the
various areas of biology or biology-related social...
Moored instrument records, drogue displacements, and hydrographic
observations are used in describing the coastal currents and
upwelling off Peru. The data were obtained over the continental shelf
near 15°S. during a two week study in late March and early April of
1969.
First order statistics and graphical representations of current...
A simulation method using a hybrid computer is developed in
this dissertation to enhance the study of wind-driven ocean circulation.
The simulation is based on the mathematical model developed by
Ekman. Pure digital simulation is not economical due to excessive
computer time required for the solution of the partial differential...
Sea level and current data collected near Newport, Oregon are
compared to determine an empirical relationship from which the low
frequency (f < .1 cpd) alongshore current field over the continental
shelf is estimated from observed sea level measurements at the coast.
Regression analysis of the near-surface (20-25 m) currents...
Natural populations of phytoplankton from Yaquina Bay, Oregon,
were incubated in large polyethelene bags in- situ, with and without
the natural assemblage of zooplankton. Samples were taken daily for
two weeks in April, 1974. The biomass of phytoplankton in the bag
without grazers reached values two to three times the...
Hydrographic data and drogue observations were used to describe
the circulation and water masses in the upper 500 meters of
the region of the entrance to the Gulf of California in the early spring
of 1970.
The thermohaline structure of the water and the general circulation
in the vicinity of...
