Bathers exposed to microbiological contamination in coastal waters have an excess risk of gastrointestinal and respiratory illness. The disease burden associated with this risk may be considerable in Southern California, where 50 million annual beach visitors recreate in coastal waters that receive billions of gallons of polluted discharges from nearby...
Austral winter oceanographic measurements from the
northwest Australian continental shelf reveal salty water
forming evaporatively inshore, moving across the wide
shelf near the bottom and into the adjacent open ocean when
the shelf edge alongshore flow is equatorward. The salt
tongue is absent during more normal conditions, when the
poleward...
Csanady (1998) presents solutions for time-dependent wind-driven flow in a barotropic
coastal ocean. We disagree with two of his three boundary condition options and wish to
clarify the origin of the non-wavelike aspect of the flow

High‐resolution surveys of oceanographic and atmospheric conditions made during the
winter over the inner shelf off northwest Australia are used to examine the coastal ocean
response to large outgoing heat and freshwater fluxes. Relatively cool, low‐humidity air
blows off the Australian continent out over the tropical continental shelf, resulting in...
Shelf break conditions and alongshore flow off northwestern Australia are studied during the strongly evaporative conditions of austral winter 2003. Present results, along with those of previous authors, confirm that a poleward, fresh Leeuwin current core is normally found near the shelf break. Salinity increases alongshore toward the southwest. Although...

Over the continental shelf at 15°S off Peru, sigma-t is a well-defined
function of temperature (Figure 1) and hence temperature alone may be used
to monitor the changes in stratification, to test the thermal wind equation,
and to monitor the hydrographic response to wind events. In this report we
present...
The primary goal of my studies was to elucidate the mechanisms for the well-recognized interaction between two nutrients, vitamins E and K. The outcomes from my studies assess mechanisms for adverse effects of vitamin E and provide novel information on mechanisms for vitamin K homeostasis. These findings will provide information...
