Morphology, shallow structure, and evolution of the Peruvian continental margin, 6⁰ to 18⁰ S

Creator:: Masias Echegaray, Juan Antonio
Abstract:: Detailed bathymetric survey data were collected along the Peruvian continental margin and were compiled by the author and other investigators to construct a new bathymetric map for the area between 6° to 18°S latitude. Based on this map and individual bathymetric profiles, the continental shelf topography is essentially flat. Four...

Deformation in the Peru Trench, 6⁰-10⁰S

Creator:: Prince, Roger Allan
Abstract:: Detailed surveys of several segments of the Peru Trench show that the region between 6° to 10⁰ S is an area of recent deformation. Seismic reflection records across the axis of the trench show faulting, uplift, and tilting of the sedimentary fill and the acoustic basement. Uplift of the acoustic...

Chile trench : extensional rupture of oceanic crust and the influence of tectonics on sediment distribution

Creator:: Schweller, W. J. (William John)
Abstract:: Extensive new trackline coverage of the Chile Trench between 23°S and 34°S, including more than 60 bathymetric and seismic reflection profiles across the trench axis, allows a much more detailed study of the tectonics and sedimentation of this feature than previously possible. Sediment distribution along the axis shows a remarkable...

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...

A systematic survey of the modeled optical properties of nonspherical marine-like particles

Creator:: Herring, Sean G.
Abstract:: The optical properties of randomly oriented, spheroidal marine particles are modeled using both numerical and analytical techniques. The optical properties examined are attenuation, scattering, absorption and backscattering. The optical properties are compared to those of equal-volume spheres. The optical properties of very small particles, relative to the wavelength of the...

Shear and convective turbulence in a model of thermohaline intrusions

Creator:: Mueller, Rachael
Abstract:: Thermohaline interleaving is an important mechanism for laterally fluxing salt, heat, and nutrients between oceanic water masses. Interleaving is driven by a release of potential energy resulting from the vastly differing diffusivities of heat and salt in seawater. The flows are composed of stacked intrusions that flux more buoyant and...

Sedimentary texture--a key to interpret deep-marine dynamics

Creator:: Allen, David William
Abstract:: The processes responsible for transporting and depositing thick sections of coarse-grained terrigenous clastics on the abyssal floor and for forming associated sedimentary structures are still conjectural. Many workers attribute coarse deep-sea sediments and their probable lithified equivalent, the graywackes of flysch deposits to some type of density movement. Deductions concerning...

Recent tropical storm climatology in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean and some applications

Creator:: Short, Kent S.
Abstract:: Reliable data for tropical storm occurrences in the northern portion of the eastern Tropical Pacific did not become available until 1966. Considering the years 1966-75, sizeable interannual variations in storm frequency are evident. Six climatological factors are investigated in an attempt to explain this interannual variation. These are: (1) the...

Sea surface water motion off Chile latitudes18°S-40°S, revealed from satellite images ofchlorophyll and temperature distribution

Creator:: Espinoza, Felix R.
Abstract:: The mesoscale sea-surface circulation pattern within 400 km off Chile and between 18°S and 40°S latitude is described using chlorophyll and temperature images from the Coastal Zone Color Scanner NIMBUS-7 satellite. The data base is a set of four mosaics developed from band-3 (550 nm) images taken on June 4...
