Cultural integrity and marginality along the South Fork of the Salmon River, Idaho

Creator:: Rebillet, S. J.
Abstract:: This work examines the varied populations which have inhabited the South Fork region from prehistoric times to the present. It disclosed that even though almost no archaeology has been done in the area, data from contiguous regions suggest that persistent and careful archaeological investigation should reveal valuable and informative sites...

A Simple Model for Stratified Shelf Flow Fields with Bottom Friction

Creator:: Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: The effect of bottom friction on the subinertial frequency motion of stratified shelf flow fields is studied in a two-layer ƒ-plane model with idealized shelf and slope bottom topography. Coastal-trapped fire waves and motion forced by the alongshore component of the wind stress at the coast are considered. Vertical turbulent-diffusion...

Evaluation of responses to selection and association among specific traits in three populations of swine

Creator:: Smith, Edward J. M. S.
Abstract:: Oregon State University swine herd records of 456 litters farrowed between 1962-73 in three populations were analyzed on a generation basis to compare changes in performance of a Composite population to parental Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds. Analysis was performed in six discrete and overlapping generations on backfat thickness, loin eye...

Low-Frequency Baroclinic Waves off Coastal Boundaries

Creator:: Grimshaw, R. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: The behavior of low-frequency baroclinic Rossby wave motion in the vicinity of coastal boundaries is investigated using linearized modulated wave theory in a stratified, constant-depth, equatorial β-plane ocean. A primary objective is to obtain an equation that describes large-scale, low-frequency pressure fluctuations along variable geometry ocean boundaries at all latitudes...

Quasi-Geostrophic Topographically Generated Mean Flow over the Continental Margin

Creator:: Samelson, Roger M. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Observations of oppositely directed, monthly mean alongshore currents and wind stress over the continental margin off the Pacific coast of North America motivate the theoretical examination of mean flow generation by topographic lee-wave drag. We formulate a barotropic model for wind-forced shelf-slope flow over variable topography. Our central objective is...

On Vertically Propagating Coastal Kelvin Waves at Low Latitudes

Creator:: Romea, R. D. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Vertically propagating coastal internal Kelvin waves (IKWs) forward by the alongshore component of the wind at the coast are studied, utilizing an ƒ-plane model of a continuously stratified ocean with a vertical eastern boundary. With an infinitely deep ocean, several initial value problems that illustrate the basic properties of the...

Large-Scale Sea Level Response to Atmospheric Forcing along the West Coast of North America, Summer 1973

Creator:: Halliwell, George R. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Along the west Coast of North America, the response of sea level to fluctuations in alongshore wind stress at large alongshore scales (> 1000 km) accounted for a substantial faction of the total sea level variance during summer 1973. Space-time contour plots of sea level and alongshore stress show that...

The Generation and Propagation of Sea Level Variability Along the Pacific Coast of Mexico

Creator:: Enfield, David B. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: Case history analysis, cross spectra and multiple regression analysis have been used in a study of low-pass filtered sea level records from the Pacific mainland coast of Mexico in 1971 and 1973–75. During the summer-fall season (May–October), sea level variability is characterized by strong alongshore coherence and nondispersive, poleward phase...

On the Structure and Dynamics of Monthly Mean Sea Level Anomalies along the Pacific Coast of North and South America

Creator:: Enfield, D. B. and Allen, J. S.
Abstract:: The behavior and relationship of anomalies of monthly mean sea level, coastal sea surface temperature and alongshore wind stress for the eastern Pacific Ocean during the period 1950–74 have been studied. Sea level and temperature records from Yakutat, Alaska (59°N) to Valparaiso, Chile (33°S) and computed alongshore wind stress at...

Statistical Characteristics of the Large-Scale Response of Coastal Sea Level to Atmospheric Forcing

Creator:: Allen, J. S. and Denbo, D. W.
Abstract:: As part of a study of the large-scale response of coastal sea level to atmospheric forcing along the west coast of North America during June–September 1973, Halliwell and Allen calculate space- and time-lagged cross-correlation coefficients Rτζ between adjusted sea level ζ at fixed alongshore locations ζ(y0) and the alongshore component...
