A cruise of the R/V Yaquina off Oregon during June and July of
1968 provided data for a study of the relationships of hydrographic
and chemical parameters to estimates of biological activity. The
emphasis was on carbon and nitrogen reservoirs. Phytoplankton pigments,
nitrogen and C/N ratio were used along with...
Temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen concentration
measured in an estuary were analyzed to determine if the effects of
coastal upwelling could be observed and used to effectively monitor
the degree of upwelling.
Hydrographic data collected weekly at a point four miles from
the entrance of Yaquina Bay (Buoy 15) were...
A method is described for determining the absolute dynamic topography of the sea surface. Using hydrographic and wind data obtained in 1963, the surface topography and the horizontal and vertical mass transports off the southeast Arabian coast during the summer monsoon are calculated. As indicated by the calculations, upwelling occurs...
The distribution patterns of quartz and opal contents and the distribution
patterns of radiolarian assemblages, in the sediments of the
southeastern Pacific, are largely controlled by both the surface winds
and the mixed-layer oceanic circulation. The distribution pattern of
quartz is related to eolian and ice-rafted transport, as well as...
The relationship between sea level and wind stress in a region of
known upwelling was studied for an eleven-month period during
1933-34.
Sea level data, obtained from observations taken by the Coast and
Geodetic Survey, were processed to remove astronomic tidal constituents
and inverted barometer effect. Regression analysis was used...
