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...

Long wavelength gravity anomalies and implications concerning a descending lithospheric slab in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: MacFarlane, William Thomas
Abstract:: The thermal regime of a postulated descending lithospheric slab is calculated. The gravity anomaly associated with such a structure is large in amplitude and long in wavelengh. Observed free-air gravity anomalies in the Pacific Northwest do not indicate a gravitational effect due to a descending slab. Two hypothetical compensation models...

The structure and sediments of Surveyor Deep-Sea Channel

Creator:: Ness, Gordon Everett
Abstract:: Surveyor Deep-Sea Channel extends for approximately 700 km over the northern Alaskan Abyssal Plain. It originates near the base of the continental slope opposite Dry Bay and Alsek Strath and terminates in the Aleutian Trench south of Kodiak Island. East of Giacomini Seamount, the axial gradient of the channel is...

Sedimentary texture--a key to interpret deep-marine dynamics

Creator:: Allen, David William
Abstract:: The processes responsible for transporting and depositing thick sections of coarse-grained terrigenous clastics on the abyssal floor and for forming associated sedimentary structures are still conjectural. Many workers attribute coarse deep-sea sediments and their probable lithified equivalent, the graywackes of flysch deposits to some type of density movement. Deductions concerning...

Sediment transport beneath an undular hydraulic jump

Creator:: Broome, Robert
Abstract:: Field observations are made of the formation of backwash ripples on the beachface, formed by undular hydraulic jumps generated by backwash down the beach face colliding with wave bores. Measured ripple wavelengths range from set averages of 48 to 70 cm. Within a particular set of ripples there is a...

Breaking waves : a review of theory and measurements

Creator:: Gaughan, Michael Kenneth
Abstract:: Theoretical breaking criteria for progressive surface gravity waves are examined, and laboratory and field experiments concerned with breaking waves are reviewed with respect to the testing of these breaking criteria. The measurements of Komar and Simmons are presented here for the first time. Only three theoretical breaking criteria have been...

Morphology, shallow structure, and evolution of the Peruvian continental margin, 6⁰ to 18⁰ S

Creator:: Masias Echegaray, Juan Antonio
Abstract:: Detailed bathymetric survey data were collected along the Peruvian continental margin and were compiled by the author and other investigators to construct a new bathymetric map for the area between 6° to 18°S latitude. Based on this map and individual bathymetric profiles, the continental shelf topography is essentially flat. Four...

Peruvian deep-sea sediments : evidence for continental accretion

Creator:: Rosato, Victor Joseph
Abstract:: In order to determine whether the sediments found on the landward wall of the Peru Trench are accreted Nazca Plate sediments, the clay mineralogy and organic carbon contents of 52 surface samples were submitted to factor analysis. Q-mode factor analysis resolved the data from the Nazca Plate and Peru continental...
