Studies on the spatial variability of phytoplankton physiology and biomass in the Oregon upwelling system

Creator:: Sanders, Rachel B.
Abstract:: The Oregon upwelling system is a region of high biomass and primary productivity as well as strong mesoscale variability. In order to examine the interaction of physical forcing and ecosystem dynamics, four 3-week sampling cruises were conducted in the Oregon upwelling system as part of the Northeast Pacific Global Ocean...

The effect of river discharge and wind forcing on the Oregon coastal ocean during fall and winter

Creator:: Mazzini, Piero Luigi Fernandes
Abstract:: Freshwater provided from river discharge influences the dynamics and circulation of most continental shelves around the world. It has profound effects on the transport and fate of materials and substances originated from rivers and estuaries, as well as on the ocean biogeochemistry and marine ecosystems. The effect of buoyancy forcing...

Inner-shelf circulation off the central Oregon Coast

Creator:: Kirincich, Anthony R.
Abstract:: Inner-shelf circulation and mechanisms of across-shelf transport of water masses were examined using seven years of observations collected by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) program, a long-term monitoring effort along the central Oregon coast. Since 1998, moored velocity and hydrographic measurements have been obtained during the...

Interactions of wind-driven and tidally-driven circulation in the Oregon coastal ocean

Creator:: Osborne, John J.
Abstract:: Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). The...

Processes of sea-cliff erosion on the Oregon coast : from neotectonics to wave run-up

Creator:: Shih, Shyuer-ming
Abstract:: Sea-cliff erosion is a significant problem along the Oregon coast in that many communities have been built on terraces affected by bluff retreat. There is considerable coast-wide variability in the rates of cliff erosion. This variability is attributed in part to tectonic activity that is causing differential interseismic uplift along...

Geology of the continental terrace off the central coast of Oregon

Creator:: Maloney, Neil Joseph
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...

Continental shelf sediments, Columbia River to Cape Blanco, Oregon

Creator:: Runge, Erwin John
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...

Influence of upwelling-season coastal currents on near-bottom dissolved oxygen concentrations over a submarine bank

Creator:: Adams, Katherine A.
Abstract:: Wind-driven coastal upwelling brings subsurface water onto the central-Oregon shelf after the spring transition each year. This cold and salty source water is oxygen-poor, yet above the hypoxic threshold, dissolved oxygen < 1.4 ml l⁻¹. Once on the shelf, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of upwelled near-bottom waters are modified by...
