Computer analysis of the surface current field off Oregon based on drift bottle data

Creator:: Lung, Hu Ernest
Abstract:: The fall-winter surface current field off Oregon was determined by analysis of ten years of drift bottle data. Computer programs were developed for generating bottle tracks on a numerical grid, for interpolating bottle velocity components to fill void grid points and for smoothing irregularities in the velocity fields. Charts are...

Distribution of Euphausiacea and Copepoda off Oregon in relation to oceanographic conditions

Creator:: Hebard, James Frank
Abstract:: Fifty-two one-meter plankton net samples from four stations off Newport, Oregon, were examined for composition and abundance of euphausiids and copepods. They provided data on dominance, species associations and environmental relationships. The euphausiid-copepod population off Oregon is composed of 12 numerically dominant species. These species occurred in most of the...

Plankton and nutrient ecology of the Columbia River estuary

Creator:: Haertel, Lois Steben
Abstract:: Monthly samples of nutrients, phytoplankton and zooplankton were taken in the Columbia River estuary over a period of 16 months in order to determine distribution with season and salinity, and interrelationships between plankton and nutrients. Nitrate and phosphate levels in the river water entering the estuary are high in the...

Magnetic and gravity interpretation of Yaloc-69 data from the Cocos plate area

Creator:: Lu, Richard Shih-Ming
Abstract:: Magnetic, gravity and bathymetry data were collected on an extended cruise of the R/V Yaquina in 1969. The last set of data was obtained from those track lines leaving the Panama Basin. The area covered is mainly the Cocos plate (Molnar and Sykes, 1969). The data is analyzed and compared...

Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

Creator:: Early, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

The effect of the land breeze on the mesoscale wind field off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Poole, Stephen Lynn
Abstract:: Two land breeze events occurred off the Oregon coast on the nights of April 19th and 20th, 1973. An array of four moored toroid buoys and one land station recorded the effect of the land breeze event on the surface mesoscale wind and temperature fields. The land breezes may have...

Resource Type:: Dissertation

Late Neogene tectonics of the mouth of the Gulf of California

Creator:: Ness, Gordon Everett
Abstract:: Anomaly timescales for the last 90 million years, derived from marine magnetic profiles and published prior to mid-1979, are summarized, illustrated for comparison, and critically reviewed. A revised timescale is constructed using calibration points which fix the ages of anomalies 2.3', 5.5, 24, and 29. An equation is presented for...

Marine geology of the continental margin off southern Oregon

Creator:: Spigai, Joseph John
Abstract:: The continental margin off southern Oregon, which includes the shelf and slope from Cape Blanco to the Oregon-California border, exhibits a distinctive marginal-plateau structural pattern which divides the margin into the continental shelf, the upper continental slope and its associated benches, and the lower continental slope. Lutum transport and deposition...

Distribution, structure, and function of marine ecological communities in the northern California Current upwelling ecosystem

Creator:: Reese, Douglas Charles
Abstract:: Within systems characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variability, abundances of organisms tend to be higher in localized areas. Within the northern California Current system, the identification of such marine, biological hotspots would be of great importance to resource managers, conservationists, and research planners, and is consequently a growing area...
