A three component drag probe for the measurement of ocean wave orbital velocities and turbulent water velocity fluctuations

Creator:: Earle, Delph Marshall, 1913-
Abstract:: A three component drag probe has been built, calibrated, and used to measure velocities beneath deep water ocean waves and turbulence in a tidal channel. Simple variable inductance devices which may be submerged in water were used as displacement transducers and the associated electronics provided voltage outputs which were proportional...

Modeling of the Peru-Chile trench from wide-angle reflection profiles

Creator:: Goebel, Vaughn
Abstract:: A proposed modeling technique that yields a best fit to observed wide-angle reflection profiles incorporates (1) the use of migrated vertical reflection profiles to provide topographic control, (2) ray tracing to produce theoretical wide-angle reflection profiles for hypothetical crustal sections, and (3) the iterative adjustment of crustal layer dip, thickness...

A comparison of eddy correlation and dissipation techniques for computing the fluxes of momentum, heat and moisture in the marine boundary layer

Creator:: Paquin, James Edward
Abstract:: The results of measurements of the fluxes of momentum, moisture and sensible heat in the marine boundary layer are described. Two techniques for obtaining the fluxes are discussed. The fluxes of these quantities are most directly obtained by the eddy correlation method, that is, by measuring the fluctuating vertical and...

Density currents induced by freezing in a shallow polar ocean : some heuristic models

Creator:: Badan-Dangon, Antoine Renaud Fabrice
Abstract:: An ice cover which progrades over a shallow ocean in the form of an ice front may induce a baroclinic flow in the underlying water, provided that the brine excluded from the freezing surface layer is mixed rapidly through out the underlying water column. A series of models are developed...

Motions of a small spar buoy

Creator:: Dorman, Clive Edgar
Abstract:: The motions of a small spar buoy were measured in deep water. The measured variables were two buoy tilts, three accelerations, two wave slopes and the wave height. The variables were corrected for buoy motion and rotated to stationary coordinates, Fast Fourier Transformed, and analyzed spectrally. Analysis included power spectra,...

An examination of the spectrum for coastal winds on the mesoscale

Creator:: Frye, Daniel Evan
Abstract:: Wind speed data were taken at a weather station on the coast and horizontal wind speed energy spectra were computed. The shape of an average spectrum obtained in marine environment is compared with an average land spectrum and the presence of a spectral gap is observed in the shoreline spectrum....

Seasonal distribution of nutrients off the coast of Oregon, 1968

Creator:: Ball, David Stephen
Abstract:: Phosphate, silicate and nitrate concentrations in the sea off the coast of Oregon were determined to study their seasonal distribution patterns. The water samples were collected monthly along the east-west hydrographic line off Newport, Oregon, from the shore to 165 miles (310 km) offshore. The samples were analyzed by both...

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...

Analysis of hydrographic techniques -- a study of different effects on geostrophic current computations by using various hydrographic data processing methods

Creator:: Yao, Neng-chun G.
Abstract:: The effects of five data processing methods on the accuracy of geostrophic computations are analyzed using hydrographic data collected from a set of 24 hour triangular stations off the Oregon coast. Sources of error are assessed by comparison with an available in situ Salinity/Temperature/Depth record (STD) trace at a control...
