Vertical current measurement in the Oregon coastal upwelling region

Creator:: Deckard, Dennis E.
Abstract:: Direct measurements of vertical water motions were made in the Oregon coastal region during the 1972 summer upwelling season. The instruments used were the Webb-Voorhis vertical current meters which are freely drifting neutrally buoyant floats capable of sensing vertical motion. It was found that in the region studied, water tended...

Two zoogeographic studies of deep sea benthic gammarid amphipods

Creator:: Dickinson, John J. (John Joseph), 1946-
Abstract:: Two separate studies on the distribution of gammarid amphipods in the bathyal and abyssal benthic environments demonstrated that different assemblages could be found at a single depth over distances on the order of 100 kilometers. These studies evaluated changes in the species composition and relative abundance of the amphipod assemblage...

Turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable environment

Creator:: Kimura, Satoshi
Abstract:: Instability and turbulence in sheared, salt-fingering favorable stratification are studied using three-dimensional direct numerical simulations (DNS). Salt-fingering favorable stratification is gravitationally stable, because the unstable vertical gradient of salinity is stabilized by temperature (warm, salty over cool, fresh water-masses). Salt-fingering instability can occur at the interface of these different water-masses....

Transition metal and rare earth element fluxes at two sites in the eastern tropical Pacific : relationship to ferromanganese nodule genesis

Creator:: Murphy, Kim Marie
Abstract:: Transition metal and rare earth element (REE) data are presented for various sedimentary materials from two Manganese Nodule Program (MANOP) sites in the eastern tropical Pacific. These data constrain the sources of elemental supply to the seafloor and the processes that control ferromanganese nodule genesis. Investigation of elemental partitioning between...

Trace element studies of metalliferous sediments in cores from the East Pacific Rise and Bauer Deep, 10⁰ S

Creator:: Kendrick, John William
Abstract:: Major (Fe, Mn, Al) and minor (Cr, Mo, Pb, Zn, Cd) element analyses of metalliferous sediments in cores from the East Pacific Rise and Bauer Deep indicate that the Bauer Deep sediments are similar in chemistry and origin to metalliferous sediments of the East Pacific Rises. Fe, Pb, and Zn...

The structure of an arctic shallow water benthic community : effects of ice gouging

Creator:: Braun, Gary Michael
Abstract:: The shallow water benthic habitat of the SW Beaufort Sea is frequently gouged by the keels of ice pressure ridges. This natural physical disturbance was hypothesized to be an important factor affecting the structure of the benthic community. Smith-McIntyre grab samples were taken from three discrete gouge axes and from...

The spectral backscattering properties of marine particles

Creator:: Whitmire, Amanda L.
Abstract:: The inherent and apparent optical properties of different ocean regimes are the basis for all optical remote sensing of the ocean. Ecological information derived from remote sensors therefore relies on having a detailed understanding of how particulate backscattering and absorption contribute to the bulk optical signal. The absorption characteristics of...

The South Atlantic Ocean response to local and remote forcings

Creator:: Fetter Filho, Antonio F. H.
Abstract:: The local and remote sources of variability of the South Atlantic Ocean are investigated using a set of numerical experiments and satellite data. A global, eddy-permitting, numerical simulation is analyzed to investigate the dynamical links between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and the Malvinas Current (MC). The model results indicate...
