Modeling Eddy Correlation Biases Created by Velocity Sensitivities of Clark-type Oxygen Microelectrodes Under Waves

Creator:: Albright, Andrea and Albright, Andrea T. P.
Abstract:: Field deployments, flume experiments, and a 2D wave model have been used to identify the characteristics of Clark-type oxygen microelectrodes and measurement parameters that could possibly bias eddy correlation (EC) flux measurements made under waves. Eddy correlation is a technique adapted from atmospheric sciences that couples concurrent and co-located velocity...

Assessing physical vulnerability of the coast in light of a changing climate : an integrated, multi-hazard, multi-timescale approach

Creator:: Harris, Erica L.
Abstract:: Hazards threaten coastal communities and ecosystems over a wide range of spatiotemporal scales. One of the most pressing concerns for coastal property owners, decision makers, and researchers is the uncertain role that a changing climate will have on the intensity and frequency of these hazards. The significant uncertainties associated with...

Eddy correlation benthic O₂ exchange rates and characterizations of sediment properties from the central Oregon shelf at 30 meters

Creator:: McCann-Grosvenor, Kristina
Abstract:: Rates of benthic O₂ exchange are important measurements for determining organic matter remineralization, and can shed light on factors driving biogeochemical processes in coastal environments. Measurement of in situ O₂ consumption and production within permeable sediments, such as those found over ~43% of the Oregon-Washington shelf, has traditionally been done...

Remote sensing of radiation stress gradients from optical imagery

Creator:: Killian, Jason R.
Abstract:: Wave-induced circulation is the defining characteristic of the nearshore. Within this region, the constant feedback cycle between incoming waves, wave-generated currents, and the mobile sediment bed is responsible for the evolution of complex patterns in nearshore and beach morphology. Central to our understanding of this system is knowledge of the...

Assessment of the Active Absorption System of the Large Wave Flume

Creator:: Savić, Una
Abstract:: The Large Wave Flume at the O.H. Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory houses a piston wavemaker with a built-in active absorption system designed by MTS Systems Corporation. The performance of the active absorption system has not been properly assessed yet. This thesis evaluates the performance of the MTS active absorption system...

Wave-by-Wave Forecasting via Assimilation of Marine Radar Data

Creator:: Simpson, Alexandra Joyce
Abstract:: A wave-by-wave forecasting system is desired for optimization of wave energy conversion devices and for improving safety of vessel-based marine operations. This study outlines the first validation attempts of a recently developed forecasting system called Wavecast. The forecasting approach uses X-Band marine radar images for data assimilation, then reconstructs and...

On the nearshore impact of wave energy converter arrays

Creator:: O'Dea, Annika Magnuson
Abstract:: Radiation stresses, defined as the excess flow of momentum due to the presence of waves (Longuet-Higgins, 1964), are the main drivers behind the cross-shore and longshore forcing that results in wave setup, set-down, and longshore currents (e.g. Svendsen, 2006). Longshore currents entrain and transport sediment and therefore play an important...

Coupled wave and surge modeling of Tillamook Bay, Oregon : extreme events and climate change impacts

Creator:: Cheng, Tiffany Kay
Abstract:: Estuaries represent the confluence of land and ocean environments and encompass a number of complex interactions amongst tides, winds, offshore waves and the riverine contributions, all of which contribute to total water levels (TWLs). The study of TWLs and the relative weight of its components can assist local communities in...

Analysis of waves in the near-field of wave energy converter arrays through image processing

Creator:: Black, Colleen
Abstract:: Oregon State University conducted a series of laboratory experiments to measure and quantify the near-field wave effects caused within arrays of Wave Energy Converters (WEC). As the waves and WECs interact, the WECs generate radiated waves; these effects vary with the location within the array. Analyzing the near-field waves will...

Experimental and numerical modeling of wave height attenuation by emergent coastal vegetation

Creator:: Blackmar, Philip James
Abstract:: Coastal vegetation dampens waves which can provide benefits to the local area, but existing literature shows large variations in the degree of wave height attenuation depending on plant properties and wave conditions. Better knowledge of how to predict the wave height decay accurately in different types of vegetation may help...
