The classification and structure of marine macrobenthic assemblages at Arthur Harbor, Anvers Island, Antarctica

Creator:: Richardson, M. D. (Michael D.)
Abstract:: In January-February 1971 five replicate 0.07 m² Van Veen grabs were obtained from each of 12 stations in Arthur Harbor and nine Van Veen grabs were obtained from two stations in nearby Bismark Strait. The 69 grab samples yielded 78,395 individuals which were separated into 282 taxa, including 108 species...

On the abyssal temperatures of the world oceans

Creator:: Olson, Boyd Ellertson
Abstract:: In comparison with solar radiation, the energy of geothermal heat flowing through the sea bottom is extremely small; nevertheless, this energy is not insignificant in the circulation of the bottom water. Calculations indicate that in the deep basins of the South Atlantic the water volume transport necessary to remove this...

The analysis and recommended design of a high-resolution digital data acquisition system for the in situ measurement of various physical and chemical parameters of sea water

Creator:: Albin, Arthur Grayson
Abstract:: The lack of availability of a single, complete paper on the analysis of a digital data acquisition system for in situ oceanographic measurements brought about the present work. In order to compile an accurate technical paper on such a complex system, it was necessary to design, construct, and calibrate a...

Paleo-oceanography of the Gulf of California based on silicoflagellates from marine varved sediments

Creator:: Murray, David W.
Abstract:: Plankton and surface sediment samples from the Gulf of California were analyzed to determine the present geographic distribution of silicoflagellate species in this area. Variations in the composition of the silicoflagellate assemblage are related to water mass distributions. Seven species and three forms were identified in these samples. Octactis pulchra...

Spatial structure of the physical and biological distributions across the Antarctic Polar Front in austral spring and summer

Creator:: Howard, Cidney
Abstract:: Mesoscale surveys to examine the relationship between the physical processes and biological response along the Antarctic Polar Front (PF) were conducted as part of the US JGOFS Southern Ocean Program during austral spring and summer 1997/98. Multiple crossings of the PF near 170° W, using a towed undulating instrument, provided...

Peruvian deep-sea sediments : evidence for continental accretion

Creator:: Rosato, Victor Joseph
Abstract:: In order to determine whether the sediments found on the landward wall of the Peru Trench are accreted Nazca Plate sediments, the clay mineralogy and organic carbon contents of 52 surface samples were submitted to factor analysis. Q-mode factor analysis resolved the data from the Nazca Plate and Peru continental...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Geochemistry of quaternary, rift-related volcanism in the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica

Creator:: Keller, Randall Arthur
Abstract:: The Bransfield Strait is the narrow, late Tertiary to Quaternary marginal basin separating the South Shetland Islands from the northern end of the Antarctic Peninsula magmatic arc. Quaternary volcanism in the strait is tholeiitic to mildly alkaline, and contrasts chemically with the pre-Quaternary calc-alkaline arc volcanism. Geochemical evidence presented here...
