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...

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...

Seasonal changes in English sole distribution : an analysis of the inshore trawl fishery off Oregon

Creator:: Hewitt, Gary R.
Abstract:: Oregon English sole catch data from 0 to 80 fathoms between Coos Bay and Cape Lookout were examined for the years 1973, 1975, and 1976. English sole is a major target species of this inshore trawl fishery. Comparison of depths of maximal values of catch per unit effort, effort, and...

Long wavelength gravity anomalies and implications concerning a descending lithospheric slab in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: MacFarlane, William Thomas
Abstract:: The thermal regime of a postulated descending lithospheric slab is calculated. The gravity anomaly associated with such a structure is large in amplitude and long in wavelengh. Observed free-air gravity anomalies in the Pacific Northwest do not indicate a gravitational effect due to a descending slab. Two hypothetical compensation models...

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....

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...

Nonlinear internal waves on the continental shelf

Creator:: Shroyer, Emily L.
Abstract:: The properties and evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) depend upon the background conditions within which waves form, propagate, and dissipate. As a result, the NLIW field on the New Jersey shelf displayed dramatic variability during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment. Wave variability was exhibited by 1) amplitudes that ranged...
