Creator:: Smyth, William D., Hebert, D., and Moum, James N.
Abstract:: The dynamic response to a westerly wind burst which occurred during the Couple Ocean Atmosphere Response Experiment in the warm pool of the equatorial Pacific Ocean is described using velocity, hydrography, and microstructure measurements. Turbulent fluxes distributed momentum input from the wind over a near-surface layer of variable thickness. Coriolis...

Creator:: Levine, Murray D., Padman, Laurie, Muench, Robin D., and Morison, James H.
Abstract:: The upper ocean current and temperature fields in the western Weddell Sea were measured from the drifting pack ice at Ice Station Weddell 1 (ISW) and nearby sites using a vertical profiler and an array of moored sensors in January–June 1992. These data document the structure and variability of the...

Creator:: Smyth, William D., Hebert, D., and Moum, James N.
Abstract:: A westerly wind burst observed in the warm pool of the western equatorial Pacific Ocean cooled the ocean's surface layer by about 0.8°C. Turbulent entrainment at the base of this layer caused cooling but also heating due to the reversal of the vertical temperature gradient during rain events. Consequently, the...

Creator:: Crawford, Greg and Padman, Laurie
Abstract:: A multidisciplinary oceanographic research program was carried out by US and Canadian investigators in the spring of 1995 in the Canadian Arctic, near Lowther Island in Barrow Strait. The program, referred to here as Resolute 95 (or Res95), had a variety of objectives, including detailed examination of the mechanisms responsible...

Creator:: Wilson, Barbara L.
Abstract:: Accurate taxonomy is essential to preservation and management of native grasses. Four problems in fescue taxonomy were investigated: the identity of the native fescue that dominates western Oregon and Washington prairies, the relationship of native Festuca roemeri to closely related grasses, the status of F. howellii and F. washingtonica, and...

Creator:: Côté, Jessica Magee
Abstract:: In 1996, Beach et al. first proposed the idea of mounting an echo-sounder on a Waverunner to measure nearshore beach profiles. This thesis discusses the Coastal Profiling System, an extension of the original work, which has been utilized to measure nearshore bathymetry at selected sites along the coasts of North...
