Field validation of a nearshore circulation model for alongshore-nonuniform flows

Creator:: Wilson, Gregory W.
Abstract:: We investigate, theoretically and experimentally, the problem of modeling depth-integrated (2DH) surf zone circulation on an alongshore-nonuniform natural beach, with waves approaching from an arbitrary angle. An approximate theoretical model is developed, which captures the important effect of advection in the alongshore dynamics, and shows that a nondimensional parameter Re[subscript]s...

Growth response of a marine phytoplankton Coccolithus huxleyi to various chemical forms of cobalt

Creator:: Longaker, Harold L.
Abstract:: The results of a preliminary experiment suggested that a complexed form of cobalt was more efficacious in promoting growth of a marine phytoplankton than ionic cobalt. The phytoplankton used in this experiment was Coccolithus huxleyi, a vitamin B₁₂ producer, and the cobalt complex was cobalt (II)- ethylenediaminetetracetic acid [Co(II)- EDTA]....

Dune erosion models and swash zone kinematics from remote video observations

Creator:: Palmsten, Margaret L.
Abstract:: The subaerial beach, composed of sand dunes and the foreshore, provides a natural buffer zone between vulnerable land and the dissipation of storm wave energy due to wave breaking. The natural beauty of this region is attractive to people, and as a result, significant investment has been placed in this...

Development of 2D models to estimate nearshore bathymetry and sediment transport

Creator:: Splinter, Kristen D.
Abstract:: We examine the interactions and feedbacks between bathymetry, waves, currents, and sediment transport. The ﬁrst two pro jects focus on the use of remote sensing techniques to expand our knowledge of the nearshore. Due to the plethora of snap-shot data that is available from satellites and their distribution via Google...

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...

Bathymetric zonation of nearshore mysids with emphasis on the beach-dwelling mysid Archaeomysis grebnitzkii

Creator:: Llewellyn, Janet George
Abstract:: Mysids were sampled seasonally from the intertidal zone of the beach to a depth of 61 m offshore along the mid-Oregon coast. The seven mysid species collected occurred in characteristic bathymetric zones, with members of different genera occupying overlapping zones while members of the same genus occupied largely different zones....

A mesoscale study of coastal currents and upwelling off Peru

Creator:: Enfield, David B.
Abstract:: Moored instrument records, drogue displacements, and hydrographic observations are used in describing the coastal currents and upwelling off Peru. The data were obtained over the continental shelf near 15°S. during a two week study in late March and early April of 1969. First order statistics and graphical representations of current...

The sediment response of a dissipative beach to variations in wave climate

Creator:: Haxel, Joseph H.
Abstract:: Using wave and wind data from nearby buoys and gauges, real time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) and light detection and ranging (lidar) topographic survey data, and a robust video record, we have quantified the Large Scale Coastal Behavior (LSCB) of a dissipative end member beach in the Pacific Northwest....
