Accurate ship velocity is important for determining absolute currents from acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) measurements. In this paper, the authors describe the application of two methods to improve the quality of ship velocity estimates. The first uses wide-area differential global positioning system (WADGPS) navigation to improve ship positioning. During...
Length of survival of the monogenetic trematode Gyrodactylus stellatus in serum and mucus collected from English soles Pleuronectes vetulus at different stages of a laboratory epizootic suggests that both the mucus and serum may be involved in resistance to the parasite. In general, trematode survival was shorter in the serum...
Dataparallel C is a SIMD extension to the standard C programming language. It is derived from the original C* language developed by Thinking Machines Corporation.. We have nearly completed a third-generation Dataparallel C compiler, which transforms Dataparallel C programs into SPMD-style C code suitable for compilation and execution on NCUBE...
We describe our third generation C* compiler for a hypercube multicomputer. This production quality compiler features a full implementation of the language, including general pointer-based communication and support for separate compilation. The compiler incorporates new optimizations and utilizes an improved set of communication primitives. It supports a variety of standard...
We are convinced that the combination of data-parallel languages and MIMD hardware can make an important contribution to high speed computing. The data-parallel paradigm is a natural way to solve a large number of problems arising in science and engineering. Data-parallel programs are easier to design, implement, and debug than...
Two physical oceanography cruises on the R/V Endeavor were conducted by the co-PIs Jack Barth and Mike Kosro as part of the ONR-sponsored Coastal Mixing and Optics (CMO) Accelerated Research Initiative. The objective was to rapidly survey a region around 40.5N, 70.5W where a set of moorings and a stationary...
We present velocity observations from a shipborne acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) on RIV Wecoma during cruise W9408A, August 23 to September 2, 1994. The ADCP processing procedures are described in detail. This cruise was part of the Coastal Jet Separation project, funded by the National Science Foundation, to study...
We present velocity observations from a shipboard acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP) on RN Wecoma during cruise W9508b, 17-27 August 1995. Results from the short half-day cruise W9508c on 31 August 1995 are also shown. The ADCP processing procedures for W9508b are described in detail. This cruise was part of...
In summer 1988, we made repeated mesoscale surveys of a grid extending 200 km offshore between
37°N and 39°N in the coastal transition zone off northern California, obtaining continuous acoustic
Doppler current profiler data and conductivity-temperature-depth data at standard stations 25 km apart
on alongshore sections 40 km apart. All...
