Physical-biological interactions in the Southern Ocean

Creator:: Moore, Jefferson Keith
Abstract:: Physical-biological interactions in the Southern Ocean were investigated using remote sensing data from several different satellite sensors. Satellite sea surface temperature data were used to study the dynamics of the Antarctic Polar Front (PF). Satellite ocean color data were used to estimate surface chlorophyll concentrations and their relation to various...

Quantifying linear disturbance growth in periodic and aperiodic systems

Creator:: Wolfe, Christopher Lee
Abstract:: The mathematical and physical connections between three different ways of quantifying linear predictability in geophysical fluid systems are studied in a series of analytical and numerical models. Normal modes, as they are traditionally formulated in the instabilities theories of geophysical fluid dynamics, characterize the asymptotic development of disturbances to stationary...

Effects of ultraviolet-B radiation on marine phytoplankton

Creator:: Behrenfeld, Michael Joseph
Abstract:: Global increases in ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR:290- 320 nm) resulting from decreases in stratospheric ozone concentration have the potential to alter marine primary production and affect global climate and marine trophic dynamics. Effects of UVBR on phytoplankton carbon fixation were determined from open ocean exposure studies conducted off the coast of...

Sediments and tectonics of the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate

Creator:: Phipps, James B.
Abstract:: Cores taken from the ridge areas of the Gorda-Juan de Fuca plate have a sedimentation rate that is appropriate for the study of late Quaternary stratigraphy. An analysis of the clay and silt mineralogy of the cores using X-ray diffraction methods and by noting changes in the foraminiferan-radiolarian abundances in...

The inherent optical properties of the oceans: from closure to prediction

Creator:: Barnard, Andrew Heath
Abstract:: Precise in situ measurement of the spectral absorption and scattering coefficients in several regions has revealed patterns in the distribution of the inherent optical properties on spatial scales that were previously unobtainable. The precision of the measurements was found to be consistent and unbiased across a variety of oceanic regimes...

Sedimentation within the Cocos Gap, Panama Basin

Creator:: Dowding, Lynn Gretton
Abstract:: The Cocos Gap is a deeper portion, or saddle, of the Cocos Ridge and forms part of the western boundary of the Panama Basing It is probably typical of saddles within most submarine ridges, In order to determine the mechanisms controlling sediment dispersal, the nature and sources of the sediments...

Geochemistry of thorium in natural water systems

Creator:: Chun, Yip
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

The flow mechanics and resulting erosional and depositional features of explosive volcanic density currents on earth and Mars

Creator:: Reimers, Clare E.
Abstract:: Straight, radial, erosional channels and fan-like deposits of tephra develop around steep-sided cones and composite volcanoes, but are not characteristic features of shield volcanoes. The channels and deposits normally are formed by explosive volcanic density currents which originate as nuées adrentes or base surges. The physical processes of explosive volcanic...

Sound scattering by marine organisms in the northeastern Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Donaldson, Henry Adam
Abstract:: Sound scattering by marine organisms was studied off the Oregon coast and between Hawaii and Adak, Alaska. Variations in scattering were observed over a period of several hours, over did (24-hour) periods, from month to month, from inshore to offshore, in relation to biomass of midwater animals, and temperature and...
