Creator:: Miller, Robert N.
Abstract:: A series of observing system simulation experiments (OSSE) is performed on a simulated data set which was designed to mimic the wind-forced response of the tropical Pacific ocean. This data set was constructed by adding random perturbations to the FSU monthly mean pseudostress anomaly data. These perturbed pseudostress anomaly fields...

Creator:: Duncan, Robert A.
Abstract:: Radiometric ages (K-Ar and ⁴⁰Ar- ³⁹Ar methods) have been determined on dredged volcanic rocks from seven of the New England Seamounts, a prominent northwest-southeast trending volcanic lineament in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean. The ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar total fusion and incremental heating ages show an increase in seamount construction age from southeast to...

Abstract:: K-Ar and ⁴⁰Ar-³⁹Ar geochronologic data reveal the Paleocene to Eocene eruptive history of volcanic centers which produced the basaltic basement rocks of the Coast Range of Oregon and Washington. Volcanism was short lived at each center and migrated with time from the northern and southern ends toward the center, near...

Creator:: Harris, Robert N. and Chapman, David S.
Abstract:: Temperature profiles from boreholes on the Colorado Plateau of southeastern Utah have been examined for evidence of climate change. Because these boreholes penetrate layered sedimentary rocks with different thermal conductivities, Bullard plots (Temperature versus integrated thermal resistance) are used to estimate background heat flow and surface temperature intercepts. Reduced temperatures,...

Abstract:: We report the behavior of the earth's magnetic field for a transition recorded in lavas at the volcanic island of Huahine in French Polynesia, south-central Pacific Ocean. Detailed intermediate fields are observed that record an apparent N-N excursion. The available K-Ar ages indicate that most volcanic rocks of the southern...

Abstract:: Repeated conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) sections were made across the continental margin off Peru at 5°S and 10°S between November 1981 and May 1984, i.e., before, during, and after El Nino of 1982-1983. Coastal sea level at Paita (5°S) and Callao (12°S) began to rise in early October 1982...

Abstract:: Current and conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) measurements were made over the Oregon shelf near 43°N between February 1981 and April 1984 as part of a large-scale west coast shelf experiment (SuperCODE). The data set includes a nearly continuous record of current velocity and temperature over the continental shelf off...

Abstract:: Hydrographic and velocity profiles were made through a small baroclinic cyclonic eddy during the Arctic Internal Wave Experiment in the Canada Basin in April 1985. The maximum measured azimuthal velocity was 0.38 m s⁻¹ at a depth of 115 m, with velocities decaying to near zero at 30 and 270...

Abstract:: Cartwright and Longuet-Higgins (1956) describe the statistical distribution of maxima that would result from the linear superposition of random, Gaussian waves. The distribution function depends solely upon the relative width of the power spectrum and root-mean-square value of the process time series. Runup field data from three experiments are presented...
