Abstract:: Hydrographic, tidal, and meteorological data collected near Newport, Oregon, were analyzed to determine the relative contributions of temperature, salinity, and air pressure variations to the recorded departures of sea level from mean sea level. Nearshore the steric and recorded sea levels exhibited a similar seasonal oscillation, with high sea levels...

Abstract:: Two beaches with significant differences in grain size and thus in beach profile morphology and response to wave conditions were studied on the Oregon coast. Gleneden Beach, just south of Siletz Spit and Lincoln City, has a median grain size of 0.36 mm (medium sand) and a steep beach face...

Abstract:: Using the hydrographic data collected by the ACONA from June 1961 to May 1963, the Oregon coastal front has been examined. Representative sigma-t surfaces were chosen to delineate the front, and changes in position of these surfaces with time were used to obtain zonal flow rates for the frontal and...

Abstract:: The oceanic phenomenon of upwelling along the Oregon coast is examined. Upwelling in both the open ocean and coastal regions is discussed. An idealized model is used, envisaging the ocean off Oregon to consist of homogeneous surface and deep layers separated by a pycnocline. The equations of motion are solved...

Abstract:: The continental terrace west of Oregon between 43° 50'N and 44° 40' N latitude is 50 to 55 miles wide. It consists of a continental shelf, 16 to 35 miles wide, and a continental slope, 16 to 37 miles wide. The eastern portion of the shelf is a smooth, sediment...

Abstract:: Sediments on the inner portion of the Oregon continental shelf consist of clean, well-sorted, detrital sand. This sand has an average median diameter of 2.53Φ (. 173 mm) and is both positively and negatively skewed. Deposits with median diameters in the coarse sand and gravel classes occur at depths of...
