Meteorological, sea surface temperature, and coastal sea level data were collected along the west coast of North America from northern Baja California to the Alaska/British Columbia border from 1980 to mid-1984 for the large-scale component of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE). This report presents statistical summaries and plots of...
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...
Within systems characterized by substantial spatial and temporal variability, abundances of organisms tend to be higher in localized areas. Within the northern California Current system, the identification of such marine, biological hotspots would be of great importance to resource managers, conservationists, and research planners, and is consequently a growing area...
Moored temperature observations were obtained at an array of buoys in the North Atlantic (59° 00.2'-59°10.7'N, 12°27.4'-12°33.6'W) during the Joint Air-Sea Interaction Experiment (JASIN) of 1978. Observations were taken at 10-minute intervals by use of thermistors at 21 depths ranging from 4.5 m to 81.5 m. Plots of temperature as...
Preliminary temperature microstructure profiles resulting from the FRONTS experiment in January 1980 are presented. Also included are selected profiles of the kinetic energy dissipation rate estimated by the Batchelor scale technique.
The MILDEX cruise of October - November 1983 was a
multiship (including FLIP) experiment involving intensive
sampling of the ocean by a variety of instruments. The RV
Wecoma operated by Oregon State University College of
Oceanography sailed from Newport, Oregon on October 21 and
returned to San Diego, California on...
During 1971 the Department of Oceanography, Oregon State University,
continued its program of shore sampling of ocean temperatures and salinities
along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Daily observations for six stations
are listed along with monthly maxima, minima, means and standard deviations
of temperature and salinity.
During 1970 the Department of Oceanography, Oregon State University,
continued its program of shore sampling of ocean temperatures and
salinities along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Observations for 1960
through 1969 are contained in eight Data Reports which are listed under
references. The data in this report were collected...
Observations of wind speed and direction, air and sea temperature, and solar radiation were obtained from an array of buoys in JASIN. The observations were analyzed to show spatial and temporal variability. Spectra of wind speed and air and sea temperature were computed to illustrate the distribution of variance over...
