Abstract:: Seasonal cycles of coastal wind stress, adjusted sea level (ASL), shelf currents, and water temperatures off the west coast of North America (35°N to 48°N) are estimated by fitting annual and semiannual harmonics to data from 1981-1983. Longer records (9-34 years) of monthly ASL indicate that these two harmonics adequately...

Abstract:: The deep-towed Argo I optical/acoustical vehicle and a geographic information system (GIS) have been used to establish the abundance, widths, and spatial distribution of fissures, as well as the relative age distribution of lavas along the narrow (<500 m wide) axial zone of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) from 9°12′...

Creator:: Thomas, A. C. and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: A 5-year time series of coastal zone color scanner imagery (1980-1983, 1986) is used to examine changes in the large-scale pattern of chlorophyll pigment concentration coincident with the spring transition in winds and currents along the west coast of North America. The data show strong interannual variability in the timing...

Creator:: Thomas, A. C. and Strub, P. Ted
Abstract:: Previously published physical and biological data document a zonally oriented frontal region within the California Current system separating colder and more eutrophic water north of ≈33°N from warmer; more stratified, and oligotrophic water farther to the south. Satellite images of phytoplankton pigment from the coastal zone color scanner from 1979-1983...

Creator:: Huyer, Andriana, 1945- and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
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...

Creator:: Strub, P. Ted, Allen, John S., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: Past measurements off the coast of central Oregon and Washington have shown that the rapid change from northward monthly mean winter winds to southward summer winds forces a "spring transition" of the coastal ocean: sea levels and temperatures drop, and mean surface currents shift from northward to southward. Current and...

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...

Abstract:: Detailed and repeated measurements of nitrate across the Oregon shelf, made coincident with turbulence measurements, reveal the importance of cross-isopycnal mixing via turbulence in providing nitrate to the upper water column. Spatial distributions of vertical gradients and turbulent fluxes in the Oregon coastal ocean reveal variability that could not have...

Abstract:: The upwelling-driven coastal jet off Oregon is in geostrophic balance to first order. The accompanying thermal wind shear is stable to shear instability. Yet enhanced turbulence is observed in the upwelling jet, typically as long, thin patches with horizontal to vertical aspect ratios of 10² to 10³ (median value ~300)....
