Vertical distribution patterns of plankton and their relationship to physical factors over the continental shelf off Oregon

Creator:: Sutor, Malinda
Abstract:: Discrete layers of phytoplankton and zooplankton were observed over the Oregon continental shelf in summer and fall of 2001 and summer 2002 using optical and acoustical technologies and a pump sampling system. Layers of phytoplankton had steep vertical gradients which were associated with gradients in density and local peaks in...

Variability in mesoscale circulation and its effects on zooplankton distribution in the Northern California Current

Creator:: Keister, Julie Eileen
Abstract:: In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...

Using ship tracks to characterize the effects of haze on cloud properties

Creator:: Segrin, Matthew S.
Abstract:: 1-km MODIS observations of ship tracks off the west coast of the U.S. are used to characterize changes in cloud visible optical depths, cloud droplet radii, cloud cover fraction, and column cloud liquid water amount as low-level marine clouds respond to particle pollution from underlying ships. This study re-examines the...

Upper ocean water properties and currents along paired sections in the Northern California current, spring 1998-2003

Creator:: Fleischbein, Jane H., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, Wetz, Jennifer Jarrell, and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: As part of the U. S. GLOBEC NorthEast Pacific Program we made repeated seasonal hydrographic surveys in the northern California Current system (Figure 1) between July 1997 and September 2003. These surveys included early spring sampling along a pair of hydrographic sections, one north (at 44.6ºN) and one south (at...

Towards reliable and survivable ocean wave energy converters

Creator:: Brown, Adam C.
Abstract:: Ocean wave energy is a new and developing field of renewable energy with great potential. The energy contained in one meter of an average wave off the coast of Newport Oregon could supply dozens of homes with electricity. However, ocean waves are usually quite irregular which leads to large bursts...

SeaSoar observations during the Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST) mesoscale survey II : R/V Wecoma cruise from 6 to 26 August 2001

Creator:: O'Malley, Robert T., Barth, John A., and Erofeev, Anatoli Y.
Abstract:: As part of the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) project Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport (COAST), this was the second of two cruises in 2001 to study cross-shelf transport processes in a wind-driven coastal ocean. The project includes field experiments off the Oregon coast and coordinated ocean circulation/ecosystem and atmospheric...

SeaSoar CTD observations from the central Oregon shelf, cruise W9907C : 13-31 July 1999 : a component of the Prediction of Wind-Driven Coastal Circulation Project

Creator:: Barth, John A., O'Malley. R., Erofeev, A. Y., Fleischbein, Jane, Pierce, S. D., and Kosro, P. M.
Abstract:: The primary objectives of R/V Wecoma cruise W9907C were to: 1) collect threedimensional fields of temperature, salinity, and light absorption and attenuation using the towed, undulating vehicle SeaSoar; 2) collect 3-D fields of velocity using shipboard ADCP; 3) to make turbulence profiles along a single cross-shelf transect; and 4) locate,...

Primary production dynamics in the North Pacific subtropical gyre

Creator:: Corno, Guido
Abstract:: The North Pacific subtropical gyre (NPSG), once considered to be a biological desert due to low primary production (PP) and its associated variability, has been found more productive and variable than previously thought. The environmental conditions controlling this relatively high PP variability are yet to be elucidated, despite important implications...
