Observations of internal solitary waves (ISWs) and of their role in sediment
resuspension during the Coastal Mixing and Optics 1996 (CMO 96) experiment are
reported. The largest resuspension events observed in the experiment can be related to
retarded flow under the wave footprint. Two distinctly different periods of resuspension
events...
An analytical model of subtropical mode water is presented, based on ventilated thermocline theory and on numerical solutions of a planetary geostrophic basin model. In ventilated thermocline theory, the western pool is a region bounded on the east by subsurface streamlines that outcrop at the western edge of the interior,...
We discuss connections between inner‐shelf and mid‐shelf circulation near Point Conception, California, as well as the wind forcing of inner‐shelf circulation. Point Conception marks the southern edge of a major upwelling zone that extends from Oregon to central California. The coastline makes a sharp eastward turn at Point Conception, and...
Social Scientists study the differing opinions people have regarding forest use and the skills that can facilitate solutions to conflicts that arise from this. Featuring Dr. Bruce Shindler.
Scientists seek to explore the relationship between land use and nitrogen levels at different places along the Calapooia River. Featuring Bill Floyd and Dr. Stephen Schoenholtz.
The 1995 FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries provides a policy framework for sustainable fisheries management. Many FAO Members indicate that the lack of information continues to constrain the full and effective implementation of the Code. This Circular seeks to address a range of information issues required to support...
