  • Tidal-band and high-frequency internal variability on the central Oregon inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    Analogous to ocean surface waves, waves in the ocean interior also experience steepening, breaking, and dissipation as they approach the coastline. Much less is known about this internal beach. In this work, extensive moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and temperature/salinity data together with optical remote sensing are combined to describe...

  • Diurnal wind-driven processes on the northern Monterey Bay inner shelf

    Creator:
    Suanda, Sutara H.
    Abstract:
    In the summer of 2007, a biophysical experiment was conducted to identify physical processes that determine the delivery of invertebrate larvae and juvenile rockfish to rocky intertidal and kelp forest communities in northern Monterey Bay, California. The experiment was sponsored by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO)...

  • Extreme Wave Runup and Runup Variability on Beaches

    Creator:
    Li, Chuan
    Abstract:
    Wave runup is an important physical process that affects nearshore sediment transport, coastal erosion, and flooding. Large and unexpected runup events can also be dangerous to beach goers. Extreme runup statistics are essential parameters used in engineering design of marine structures and in coastal management. Although the study of runup...

  • Nearshore wave predictions along the Oregon and southwest Washington coast

    Creator:
    García-Medina, Gabriel
    Abstract:
    This thesis contains a manuscript describing the implementation of a high resolution wave forecasting model for the coasts of Washington and Oregon. The purpose of this project was to advance the wave predictive capabilities of the states of Oregon and the southwest part of Washington by including the effects of...

  • Toward wave energy in Oregon : predicting wave conditions and extracted power

    Creator:
    Oskamp, Jeffrey A.
    Abstract:
    Knowledge of wave conditions in nearshore regions supports the development of ocean wave energy technology by providing wave climatology for device design considerations, and power output estimates. By modeling wave transformation over the continental shelf, wave conditions were predicted in nearshore regions where potential wave energy conversion sites are located....

  • Depth estimation and frontal imaging via X-band marine radar

    Creator:
    Honegger, David Andrew
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on two core aspects of remote sensing: (a) interpretation of the remotely sensed data to identify and characterize sea surface features of interest, and (b) the quantitative analysis of previously characterized features to produce robust estimates of geophysical variables. Specifically, these aspects are addressed in the context...

  • Remote Sensing of Nearshore Hydrodynamic and Morphodynamic Processes

    Creator:
    O'Dea, Annika M.
    Abstract:
    The use of remote sensing techniques in coastal science and engineering has rapidly increased in the past few decades. This dissertation outlines new remote sensing tools using two remote sensing technologies (lidar and X-band marine radar) along with two nearshore hydrodynamic and morphodynamic analyses supported or motivated by these remote...

  • Influence of upwelling-season coastal currents on near-bottom dissolved oxygen concentrations over a submarine bank

    Creator:
    Adams, Katherine A.
    Abstract:
    Wind-driven coastal upwelling brings subsurface water onto the central-Oregon shelf after the spring transition each year. This cold and salty source water is oxygen-poor, yet above the hypoxic threshold, dissolved oxygen < 1.4 ml l⁻¹. Once on the shelf, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of upwelled near-bottom waters are modified by...

  • Radar and Optical Remote Sensing of Submesoscale Frontal Features

    Creator:
    Simpson, Alexandra J.
    Abstract:
    The coastal region is home to many types of surface fronts that exist on a submesoscale (1-10 $km$). While in situ observations capture point or transect observations of frontal behavior subsurface, their complex spatial patterns can be well-captured using remote sensing techniques, which provide synoptic views of the ocean surface...

  • Turbulence and biophysical fluxes in the near surface ocean

    Creator:
    Hoecker-Martínez, Martín
    Abstract:
    Vertical transports of plankton, momentum, heat, and turbulence are modeled. A novel integration of high resolution turbulence and biophysical modeling is used to show the influence of a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability on the vertical migration of simple gyrotactic organisms. A viscous limit on mixing driven by shear turbulence is proposed. Large...
