Currents and water masses of the coastal transition zone off Northern California, June to August 1988

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Fleischbein, Jane, Ramp, Steven R., Stanton, Tim, Washburn, Libe, Chavez, Francisco P., Cowles, Timothy J., Pierce, Stephen D., and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: In summer 1988, we made repeated mesoscale surveys of a grid extending 200 km offshore between 37°N and 39°N in the coastal transition zone off northern California, obtaining continuous acoustic Doppler current profiler data and conductivity-temperature-depth data at standard stations 25 km apart on alongshore sections 40 km apart. All...

Mapping the U.S. West Coast surface circulation: A multiyear analysis of high‐frequency radar observations

Creator:: Kim, Sung Yong, Terrill, Eric J., Cornuelle, Bruce D., Jones, Burt, Washburn, Libe, Moline, Mark A., Paduan, Jeffrey D., Garfield, Newell, Largier, John L., Crawford, Greg, and Kosro, P. Michael
Abstract:: The nearly completed U.S. West Coast (USWC) high-frequency radar (HFR) network provides an unprecedented capability to monitor and understand coastal ocean dynamics and phenomenology through hourly surface current measurements at up to 1 km resolution. The dynamics of the surface currents off the USWC are governed by tides, winds, Coriolis...

Observations and assessment of forest carbon dynamics following disturbance in North America

Creator:: Goetz, S. J., Bond-Lamberty, B., Law, B. E., Hicke, J. A., Huang, C., Houghton, R. A., McNulty, S., O'Halloran, T., Harmon, M., Meddens, A. J. H., Pfeifer, E. M., Mildrexler, D., and Kasischke, E. S.
Abstract:: Disturbance processes of various types substantially modify ecosystem carbon dynamics both temporally and spatially, and constitute a fundamental part of larger landscape-level dynamics. Forests typically lose carbon for several years to several decades following severe disturbance, but our understanding of the duration and dynamics of post-disturbance forest carbon fluxes remains...

Surface Heating and Patchiness in the Coastal Ocean off Central California During a Wind Relaxation Event

Creator:: Ramp, Steven R., Garwood, Roland W., Davis, Curtiss O., and Snow, Richard L.
Abstract:: The difference between the temperature of the ocean at 4-cm and 2-m depth was continuously monitored during a cruise to the coastal transition zone off Point Arena, California (38°58′N, 123°45′W), during June 1987. The two temperatures were coincident most of the time but diverged during one nearshore leg of the...

Evaluation of a coastal ocean circulation model for the Columbia River plume in summer 2004

Creator:: Liu, Yonggang, MacCready, Parker, Hickey, Barbara M., Dever, Edward P., Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, and Banas, Neil S.
Abstract:: Realistic hindcast of the Columbia River estuarine-plume-shelf circulation in summer 2004 using the Regional Ocean Modeling System nested within the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) is quantitatively evaluated with an extensive set of observations. The model has about equal skill at tidal and subtidal properties. Tidal circulation and water properties...

Characterization of organic aerosols emitted from the combustion of biomass indigenous to South Asia

Creator:: Sheesley, Rebecca J., Schauer, James J., Chowdhury, Zohir, Cass, Glen R., and Simoneit, Bernd R. T.
Abstract:: Throughout South Asia biomass is commonly used as a fuel source for cooking and heating homes. The smoke from domestic use of these fuels is expected to be a major source of atmospheric particulate matter in the region and needs to be characterized for input in regional source apportionment models...

River influences on shelf ecosystems: Introduction and synthesis

Creator:: Hickey, B. M., Kudela, R. M., Nash, Jonathan, Bruland, K. W., Peterson, W. T., MacCready, P., Lessard, E. J., Jay, D. A., Banas, N. S., Baptista, A. M., Dever, Edward P., Kosro, P. Michael, Kilcher, L. K., Homer-Devine, A. R., Zaron, E. D., McCabe, R. M., Peterson, J. O., Orton, P. M., Pan, J., and Lohan, M. C.
Abstract:: River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal waters in an eastern boundary current system, as well as the effects of the resultant plume on phytoplankton standing stocks, growth and grazing rates, and community...

Coseismic slip on the southern Cascadia megathrust implied by tsunami deposits in an Oregon lake and earthquake-triggered marine turbidites

Creator:: Witter, Robert C., Zhang, Yinglong, Wang, Kelin, Goldfinger, Chris, Priest, George R., and Allan, Jonathan C.
Abstract:: We test hypothetical tsunami scenarios against a 4,600-year record of sandy deposits in a southern Oregon coastal lake that offer minimum inundation limits for prehistoric Cascadia tsunamis. Tsunami simulations constrain coseismic slip estimates for the southern Cascadia megathrust and contrast with slip deficits implied by earthquake recurrence intervals from turbidite...

Mixing in the equatorial surface layer and thermocline

Creator:: Moum, James N., Caldwell, Douglas R., and Paulson, Clayton A.
Abstract:: Twelve days of microstructure measurements at the equator (140°W) in November 1984 showed a surprisingly strong effect of both daily cycle of solar heating and wind on mixing in the upper ocean. Because of limited variations in atmospheric forcing and currents during the experiment, processes in the daily mixing cycle...

A study of the optical characteristics of the suspended particles in the benthic nepheloid layer of the Scotian Rise

Creator:: Spinrad, Richard W., Zaneveld, J. Ronald, and Kitchen, James C.
Abstract:: Light transmission profiles have been used to study the optical properties of the suspended particles which are characteristic of the area of the Scotian Rise in the North Atlantic Ocean. This area is typified by very strong bottom currents and a highly variable bedform morphology. A good correlation (r =...
