Creator:: Ahn, Joong Bae
Abstract:: For the purpose of investigating the fundamental nature of the interannual oscillation observed in the tropical Pacific in conjunction with El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the Comprehensive Ocean Atmosphere Data Set was analyzed. Based upon this analysis, an "intermediate" tropical atmosphere-ocean coupled model was developed. For reason of their particular importance...

Creator:: Corwith, Holly L.
Abstract:: The Oregon continental shelf waters are typically characterized by four to five major upwelling events that occur between May and October. The upwelled water is rich in nutrients, which fuels an increase in phytoplankton biomass. The onset of El Nino, however, can disrupt the normal physical processes along the Oregon...

Creator:: Cid, Luis Serrano
Abstract:: The presence of feedback in an inputoutput system associated with an oceanographic phenomenon is determined. A testing procedure to determine the presence of feedback is given. The ordinary transfer function model is determined not to be appropriate in modeling the system. The two and three stage least squares methods are...

Creator:: Lee, Yong Woo
Abstract:: Marine fish are subject to direct and indirect oceanographic variations operating at short and long time scales. In this study feeding habits and long-term growth condition of several groundfish species of the Pacific Northwest are examined to understand the relationship between variations in the fish's biological and life history components...

Creator:: Dixit, Sanjay
Abstract:: A simple atmosphere and ocean model of relevance to El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is discussed. Both the atmosphere and ocean models are two layer, three dimensional, linear and baroclinic, and generally follow the Oregon State University coupled general circulation model. However, the parameterization differs considerably from previous work...

Creator:: Vinueza, Luis R.
Abstract:: Ecosystems are facing increasing threats from human related activities, such as overfishing, pollution, habitat destruction, species invasions, and diseases, among others. While oceanic islands provide natural laboratories to understand ecological and evolutionary process, they are also particularly vulnerable to these impacts, given their usual isolation from the mainland and the...
