Tidal currents on the central Oregon shelf : models, data, and assimilation

Creator:: Erofeeva, Svetlana Y., Egbert, Gary D., and Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-
Abstract:: Measurements of tidal currents on the central Oregon shelf are available from several sources, including recent high frequency (HF) coastal radar and Acoustic Doppler Profiler (ADP) deployments, and historical current moorings. In this paper we use a generalized inverse (GI) approach to compare these data to, and then assimilate them...

High resolution spectroscopy of sulfur trioxide and carbon suboxide

Creator:: Masiello, Tony
Abstract:: High resolution spectroscopy was used to study the properties of two simple polyatomic molecules, sulfur trioxide, SO₃, and carbon suboxide, C₃O₂. The fundamental modes and several hot bands of the ¹⁸O isotopic fonns of SO₃ (³²S¹⁸O₃ and ³⁴S¹⁸O₃) have been investigated using both infrared spectroscopy and coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering...

Multi application small light water reactor containment analysis and design

Creator:: Haugh, Brandon Patrick
Abstract:: This thesis presents the assessment of the Multi Application Small Light Water Reactor (MASLWR) containment design during steady-state and transient conditions. The MASLWR project is a joint effort between Idaho National Environmental and Engineering Laboratory (INEEL), NEXANT Bechtel, and Oregon State University. The project is funded under a Nuclear Energy...

Modeling and application of multispectral oceanic sun glint observations

Creator:: Luderer, Gunnar
Abstract:: The atmospheric radiative transfer model MOCARAT was developed and is presented in this thesis. MOCARAT employs a Monte Carlo Technique for the accurate modeling of band radiances and reflectances in an atmospheric system with a ruffled ocean surface as a lower boundary. The atmospheric radiative transfer is modeled with consideration...

Observations of Polarity Reversal in Shoaling Nonlinear Internal Waves

Creator:: Shroyer, E. L., Moum, J. N., and Nash, J. D.
Abstract:: Observations off the New Jersey coast document the shoaling of three groups of nonlinear internal waves of depression over 35 km across the shelf. Each wave group experienced changing background conditions along its shoreward transit. Despite different wave environments, a clear pattern emerges. Nearly symmetric waves propagating into shallow water...

Structure and Generation of Turbulence at Interfaces Strained by Internal Solitary Waves Propagating Shoreward over the Continental Shelf

Creator:: Moum, J. N., Farmer, D. M., Smyth, W. D., Armi, L., and Vagle, S.
Abstract:: Detailed observations of the structure within internal solitary waves propagating shoreward over Oregon's continental shelf reveal the evolving nature of interfaces as they become unstable and break, creating turbulent flow. A persistent feature is high acoustic backscatter beginning in the vicinity of the wave trough and continuing through its trailing...

Observations and modeling of coastal internal waves driven by a diurnal sea breeze

Creator:: Lerczak, James A., Hendershott, M. C., and Winant, C. D.
Abstract:: During the Internal Waves on the Continental Margin (IWAVES) field experiments of 1996 and 1997 off of Mission Beach, California (32.75° N), we observed energetic, dirunal-band motions across the entire study site in water depths ranging from 15 to 500 m and spanning a cross-shore distance of 15 km. The...

Mesoscale physical and bio-optical structure of the Antarctic Polar Front near 170°W during austral spring

Creator:: Barth, John A., Cowles, Timothy J., and Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: As part of the U.S. Joint Global Ocean Flux Study Southern Ocean program, high-resolution surveys of the Antarctic Polar Front near 170øW were conducted during October-November 1997 with a towed undulating system equipped with conductivity-temperature-depth and bio-optical sensors. Transects along 170°W and two successive mapping surveys revealed zonal bands with...

Coastal ocean response to summer upwelling favorable winds in a region of alongshore bottom topography variations off Oregon

Creator:: Castelao, Renato M. and Barth, John A.
Abstract:: Repeated mesoscale surveys of waters over the shelf and slope off Oregon were conducted during spring and summer of 2001 to study the spatial structure of the velocity and hydrographic fields. The ocean response to wind forcing is compared between a region of relatively simple topography with alongshore uniformity and...
