Using ship tracks to characterize the effects of haze on cloud properties

Creator:: Segrin, Matthew S.
Abstract:: 1-km MODIS observations of ship tracks off the west coast of the U.S. are used to characterize changes in cloud visible optical depths, cloud droplet radii, cloud cover fraction, and column cloud liquid water amount as low-level marine clouds respond to particle pollution from underlying ships. This study re-examines the...

Evaluation of the off-flavor in English sole (Parophrys vetulus) using descriptive analysis techniques and consumer testing

Creator:: Geise, Laura Ann
Abstract:: English sole (Parophrys vetulus) is a flatfish found in abundance in the Pacific Ocean and is part of the Pacific Northwest's and California's commercial trawl fishery. Stock levels of this fish are at all time highs but there are decreased landings due to low demand and acceptability. With new regulations...

Phytoplankton shading of marine benthic macrophytes: Implications for intertidal community structure

Creator:: Kavanaugh, Maria T.
Abstract:: Previous observations of light levels and phytoplankton abundances along the Oregon coast demonstrated that phytoplankton attenuated light sufficiently to potentially limit the growth of intertidal macrophytes and therefore structure local intertidal communities. Inspired by this observation, in spring 2004, I initiated a study to quantify the direct and indirect benthic...

Defining habitat preferences of pelagic loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) in the North Atlantic through analysis of behavior and bycatch

Creator:: McCarthy, Abigail L.
Abstract:: For many species of marine turtle the characteristics that define pelagic habitat have yet to be fully identified. A better understanding of these habitat characteristics is critical to reduce high seas fisheries interactions with turtles, especially as the status of many turtle populations has placed them on the threatened or...

Impact of tropical instability waves on nutrient and chlorophyll distributions in the equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Evans, William Wiley
Abstract:: Tropical instability waves (TIWs) are prominent seasonal features in both the equatorial Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. This work quantifies their role in modulating the distributions of nutrients and phytoplankton biomass. Using an eight year record of biannual ship observations along the Tropical Atmosphere Ocean (TAO) buoy array, cruise sections crossing...

Buoy and satellite observation of wind induced surface heat exchange in the intraseasonal oscillation over West Pacific and Indian Ocean

Creator:: Araligidad, Nilesh
Abstract:: The importance of wind-driven latent heat fluxes for supporting tropical intraseasonal precipitation variability is analyzed. Tropical intraseasonal variability in the west pacific and Indian ocean is analyzed for northern and southern hemisphere summer during 1999-2005 using satellite and buoy observations. A composite analysis of QuikSCAT ocean vector winds and TRMM...

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...

Pacific Blue Marlin management in Hawaii: review of the Blue Marlin Fishery and an assessment of the current management needs

Creator:: Mitsuyasu, Mark K.
Abstract:: The Pacific Blue Marlin stock supports both recreational and commercial fisheries throughout their Pacific-wide distribution. The commercial component of the fishery imposes a greater fishing mortality on the stock but the recreational component may be more economically dependent on the continued health of the fishery (Orbach 1989). The recreational or...

The application of traditional rights-based fishing systems to contemporary problems in fisheries management : a focus on the Pacific Basin

Creator:: Graham, Tom
Abstract:: Rights-based systems for controlling the use of marine resources developed in many "traditional" societies of the world--notably in the isolated island societies of the Pacific. These "customary marine tenure" systems (CMT) have eroded or collapsed in many societies since the development of economic and other links with outside societies and...

Investigation and comparison of generators for dynamic operation in ocean buoys

Creator:: Schacher, Anthony Clinton
Abstract:: A significantly untapped renewable energy source exists in the world's oceans. It is estimated that if 0.2% of the ocean's untapped energy could be harnessed, it could provide power sufficient for the entire world. Ocean energy extraction is an old concept, and it is currently seeing the benefit of advancing...
