Creator:: Curtin, T. B. (Thomas B.)
Abstract:: The sea as a dynamic conducting medium interacts continually with the earth' s magnetic field. The physical principles underlying this interaction are reviewed. These results are applied to the particular problem of towed electrodes at the sea surface. Data using this method are then shown to be sensitive to stability...

Creator:: Yao, Neng-chun G.
Abstract:: The effects of five data processing methods on the accuracy of geostrophic computations are analyzed using hydrographic data collected from a set of 24 hour triangular stations off the Oregon coast. Sources of error are assessed by comparison with an available in situ Salinity/Temperature/Depth record (STD) trace at a control...

Creator:: Josef, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: In the early 1980's the first evidence of biological alteration of basalt glass (sideromelane) was published. Since that time additional evidence, including DNA staining, isotopic abundance and chemical mapping, has come to light suggesting that this unique alteration of glass can be attributed to microbial activity. Microbial alteration textures have...

Creator:: Albin, Arthur Grayson
Abstract:: The lack of availability of a single, complete paper on the analysis of a digital data acquisition system for in situ oceanographic measurements brought about the present work. In order to compile an accurate technical paper on such a complex system, it was necessary to design, construct, and calibrate a...

Creator:: Mason, Olivia Underwood
Abstract:: Oceanic crust covers nearly 70% of the Earth's surface, of which, the upper, sediment layer is estimated to harbor substantial microbial biomass. Marine crust; however, extends several kilometers beyond this surficial layer, and includes the basalt and gabbro layers. In particular, the basalt layer has high permeabilities which allows for...
