Observations from an instrument array moored over the continental
shelf off Oregon from 31 July to 21 September 1969 are presented. Temperature,
current and wind observations were obtained every 20 minutes.
First order statistics, histograms, progressive vector diagrams and time
series plots are presented. Supplementary wind observations at Newport
are...
Search sessions consist of a person presenting a query to a search engine, followed by that person examining the search
results, selecting some of those search results for further review, possibly following some series of hyperlinks, and perhaps
backtracking to previously viewed pages in the session. The series of pages...
Today's university library has many digitally accessible resources, both indexes to content and considerable original content. Using off-the-shelf search technology provides a single point of access into library resources, but we have found that such full-text indexing technology is not entirely satisfactory for library searching.
In response to this, we...
At Oregon State University (OSU), the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) and the OSU Libraries are working together on a project to improve the effectiveness and accessibility of digital information created and collected by academic libraries. This project focuses on making digital resources more accessible through an...
A summary of one phase of a direct observational program conducted
in the coastal region off Oregon is presented. The measurements were
made primarily on the continental shelf in late coastal upwelling season
(August and September 1966). The principal measurements were time
series of horizontal current velocity and temperature fields;...
This report presents progress accomplished during the 20-month period from 1 July 1972 through 31 March 1974 as part of the program "Ecological Studies of Radioactivity in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean". This program is a continuing study supported by the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research...
The following report Introduces a documentation scheme for flow
oriented ecosystem models and shows its application to a carbon-water
model developed within the coniferous biome. This documentation scheme
has remained operative through revision of this model and expansion of
It to include nutrient flows. This model and subsequent versions are...
CONIFER simulates water, carbon, and energy dynamics of a coniferous forest. The model consists of 29 nonlinear difference equations. Measured driving variables include air temperature, dew point temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and wind speed. Water and energy variables are updated
daily; carbon variables are updated weekly. This report contains a...
This report represents the progress in "Ecological and Radioecological
Studies in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific
Ocean" for the period 1 April 1975 through 31 March 1976. This research
has been supported with funds from the Division of Biomedical and
Environmental Research, U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration...
Comparisons were made to determine how the uncertainty of initial inventories and projected yields affect harvest schedules for Douglas-fir. Results indicate that short-run harvests are most affected by errors in initial inventory, with the effect being less than the size of the error. Long-run harvests are most affected by yield...
