Modern and past climate variability in the eastern Pacific warm pool

Creator:: Benway, Heather M.
Abstract:: Westward transport of water vapor across the Panama Isthmus helps to maintain the salinity contrast between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, important in thermohaline circulation and global climate. Relatively low sea-surface salinities and a strong, shallow pycnocline in the eastern Pacific warm pool (EPWP) region near Central America reflect high...

Aspects of the biology and culture of Scyphomedusae of the Oregon Coast

Creator:: Heitstuman, Thomas M.
Abstract:: Field and laboratory work was undertaken in 1993 to increase understanding of the life history and ecology of the brown jellyfish, Chrysaora fuscescens, a large semaeostome typically abundant in the neritic regions of the Oregon coast during summer months. Few medusae were found during 1993, possibly the result of anomalous...

Vertical distribution patterns in a subarctic Pacific zooplankton community

Creator:: Marlowe, Christopher J.
Abstract:: A study has been made of the vertical distributions and migrations of a large number of zooplankton species at Weather Station "P" in the Subarctic Pacific. Simultaneously towed horizontal opening-closing nets were used for the study. The distributions and migrations of 104 taxa have been subjectively grouped into seven basic...

The dynamics of an isolated population of Acartia tonsa Dana (Copepoda) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, John Kenneth
Abstract:: In the upper estuary of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, there is an annual population explosion of Acartia tonsa, (Dana) a calanoid copepod, during the months of July, August and September, followed by a rapid decline to virtual extinction in November. The restricted estuarine distribution affords an excellent opportunity to study the...

Numerical and assimilative studies of the equatorial Pacific cold tongue

Creator:: Perez, Renellys Christine
Abstract:: Numerical model and assimilation experiments were conducted in the tropical Pacific Ocean to obtain a better understanding of the processes that control the cold tongue surface mixed layer temperature balance during August 1999 to July 2004. The numerical model was first applied to test two hypotheses (asymmetric background currents and...

Modeling studies of ocean circulation using inverse methods and bifurcation theory

Creator:: Vernieres, Guillaume
Abstract:: We present a study of the ocean circulation using state of the art numerical and data assimilation techniques. The second chapter of the thesis presents the development and application of generalized inversion to a simple dynamical model of Lake Kinneret. The intent was to develop the necessary tools to implement...

Experimental interbreeding between Atlantic and Pacific populations of the marine calanoid copepod Acartia clausi Giesbrecht

Creator:: Carrillo Barrios-Gomez, Enrique
Abstract:: An attempt has been made to experimentally interbreed Atlantic and Pacific populations of the marine calanoid copepod Acartia clausi Giesbrecht. Breeding between individuals from each population produced many successive generations in the laboratory, but interbreeding between populations failed to produce viable offspring. This result is strong evidence that the Atlantic...
