Antarctic intermediate water in the South Pacific Ocean

Creator:: Johnson, Ron (Ronald E.)
Abstract:: The distribution of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South Pacific has been examined using a model of horizontal advection, along the Sigma-t surface 27.10, with three point vertical mixing. The core of the Antarctic Intermediate Water mass was traced from the Antarctic Convergence northward. The charts used to describe the...

Perturbation methods in geophysics and oceanography

Creator:: Lu, Richard Shih-Ming
Abstract:: The perturbation method is applied to solve two numerical problems in the earth sciences, viz., (l)the computation of deep sea currents in the coastal region of the northeast Pacific and (2) the interpretation of D.C. conduction data in exploration geophysics. The perturbation method is largely equivalent to the method of...

Mathematical approaches to the physics of mesoscale oceanography

Creator:: Early, Jeffrey J.
Abstract:: The long-term evolution of Gaussian eddies is studied in an equivalent barotropic model using both linear and nonlinear quasi-geostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward propagating satellite altimetry tracked mesoscale eddies. By examining both individual eddies and a large basin seeded with eddies, it is shown that long term...

Late quaternary oceanic circulation along the Pacific Coast of South America

Creator:: Molina-Cruz, Adolfo
Abstract:: The distribution patterns of quartz and opal contents and the distribution patterns of radiolarian assemblages, in the sediments of the southeastern Pacific, are largely controlled by both the surface winds and the mixed-layer oceanic circulation. The distribution pattern of quartz is related to eolian and ice-rafted transport, as well as...

Fourier imaging in a hydrological medium : a test of the linear invariant hypothesis

Creator:: Hodgson, Robert Thomas
Abstract:: Fourier techniques have recently become popular for the description of underwater image transmission. Two properties necessary for the application of Fourier techniques to any system are those of linearity and invariance. This work describes a laboratory investigation of these properties for a variety of aqueous media. The hypothesis is found...

The effect of a special living-learning residence hall experience on the self concept of entering educational opportunity program students at Oregon State University

Creator:: Griggs, Lawrence Floyd
Abstract:: The overall purpose of this research was to determine the factors involved in Educational Opportunity Program (EOP) freshmen making a successful adjustment to the Oregon State University campus environment and to determine whether this adjustment can be accomplished early in the students' college career. Specifically, this investigation was designed to...

The development of the chlorinity-salinity concept in oceanography

Creator:: Wallace, William J.
Abstract:: This study traces the historical foundations of the concept of constant ionic proportionality and the equation (Salinity [S%₀] = 1.805 Chlorinity [Cl%₀] + 0.030) which has been in general use in oceanography since 1902 until 1969 and which is based upon this constancy, The notion that the constituents present in...

Diversity and Evolution of Sexual Traits in Ground Beetles (Family Carabidae)

Creator:: Gomez, R. Antonio
Abstract:: Biologists have long been fascinated with reproductive traits, in part because they are frequently exaggerated or showy, and they commonly vary among closely related species. Exaggerated sexual traits, in particular, have been the focus of intense empirical and theoretical research, but most of this work has focused on traits involved...

An examination of terminal and instrumental values of selected Oregon State University students

Creator:: Norelius, Caroline F.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study was twofold; first, to identify the values held by Oregon State University students, and second, to determine if the values of OSU students are different from samples previously surveyed. A further purpose of the study was to develop baseline data on a cross-section of the...
