Bioenergetics and behavior of the krill Euphausia pacifica in the California Current System off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Lindsey, Brie J.
Abstract:: Euphausia pacifica, the North Pacific krill, is a key grazer in the California Current System and an important prey item for consumers such as salmon, seabirds, and whales. As a crucial link between phytoplankton and higher trophic levels, it is essential to understand both the behavior and bioenergetics of this...

Sea-air CO₂ flux variability on the northeast Pacific continental margin

Creator:: Evans, Wiley
Abstract:: Carbon dioxide (CO₂) fluxes between the ocean and atmosphere on continental margins are difficult to diagnose because these regions experience large variability over spatial and temporal scales spanning meters to basins and hours to years, respectively. In a global sense, continental margins could represent a significant atmospheric CO₂ sink, equivalent...

Ecological aspects of two wood-boring molluscs from the continental terrace off Oregon

Creator:: Tipper, R. C.
Abstract:: A mooring system was designed and constructed to make possible the installation and the recovery of racks of sample panels for a study of deep-ocean wood-boring molluscs. Racks containing pine, fir, oak, and cedar boards were exposed to borer attack at six stations with depths of 50, 100, 150, 200,...

Studies on the occurrence, physiology, and ecology of bioluminescence in dinoflagellates

Creator:: Esaias, Wayne E.
Abstract:: To provide further information on the occurrence and geographical variations of bioluminescent capabilities of marine dinoflagellates, forty species, representing twelve genera, of dinoflagellates from Yaquina Bay, Oregon, were examined for bioluminescence as single cell isolates. Seventeen species from the genera Ceratium (1 sp.), Gonyaulax (3 sp.), and Peridinium (13 sp.)...

A three component drag probe for the measurement of ocean wave orbital velocities and turbulent water velocity fluctuations

Creator:: Earle, Delph Marshall, 1913-
Abstract:: A three component drag probe has been built, calibrated, and used to measure velocities beneath deep water ocean waves and turbulence in a tidal channel. Simple variable inductance devices which may be submerged in water were used as displacement transducers and the associated electronics provided voltage outputs which were proportional...

Particles in the eastern Pacific ocean : their distribution and effect upon optical parameters

Creator:: Carder, Kendall L.
Abstract:: The distribution of particles in the Eastern Pacific Ocean was investigated from 2 January to 14 February, l969, on the YALOC-69 cruise of Oregon State University. The size distributions were well fitted by the two-parameter Weibull distribution function, with a predominant number of them nearly exponential in distributional shape. Although...

Diffuse deformation patterns along the North American plate boundary zone, offshore western United States

Creator:: Chaytor, Jason D.
Abstract:: Plate boundaries are commonly regions of complex, diffuse deformation with the motion across the boundary accommodated by numerous structural systems, rather than being narrow, discrete zones of deformation. One such boundary occurs where the North American plate makes contact with Juan de Fuca, Gorda, and Pacific plates along the west...

Continental shelf sediments, Columbia River to Cape Blanco, Oregon

Creator:: Runge, Erwin John
Abstract:: Sediments on the inner portion of the Oregon continental shelf consist of clean, well-sorted, detrital sand. This sand has an average median diameter of 2.53Φ (. 173 mm) and is both positively and negatively skewed. Deposits with median diameters in the coarse sand and gravel classes occur at depths of...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...
