The effects of rainfall on temperature and salinity in the surface layer of the equatorial Pacific

Creator:: Bahr, Frederick L.
Abstract:: Measurements of temperature and salinity in the upper 5 m of the ocean along the equator showed cool fresh anomalies due to rain showers. The measurements were made between 140 W and 110 W during April 1987, an El Nino year. The eastern equatorial Pacific was characterized by weak winds...

A study of the seasonal variation in temperature and salinity along the Oregon - Northern California coast

Creator:: Bourke, Robert H.
Abstract:: This study examines the seasonal variability in temperature and salinity of the nearshore waters off Oregon and Northern California. Specifically, temperature and salinity variations during summer and winter were ana1yzed from data gathered at shore stations along the coast and from hydrographic data collected within 25 nautical miles of shore....

The salinity extrema of the world ocean

Creator:: Ingham, Merton C., 1930-
Abstract:: The principal salinity extrema and extremum surfaces of the world ocean are described by the analysis and plotting of data from 885 hydrographic stations in the three major oceans, the Southern Ocean, and the American Mediterranean Sea. The distributions of salinity, temperature, depth, and density along the extremum surfaces, plotted...

Differentiating freshwater contributions and their variability to the surface and halocline layers of the Arctic and subarctic seas

Creator:: Alkire, Matthew Buckley
Abstract:: Dramatic and ongoing changes pervading the Arctic and subarctic seas over recent decades have motivated this effort to track and better understand hydrographic variability using chemical tracers. Particular emphasis has been paid to differentiating freshwater contributions to upper layers: namely Pacific water, meteoric water, and sea-ice melt/formation. Data collected in...

Observations and analysis of ocean currents above 250 meters off the Oregon coast

Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: coast is the California current, a portion of the eastern current gyrel in the North Pacific Ocean

A mesoscale study of coastal currents and upwelling off Peru

Creator:: Enfield, David B.
Abstract:: Moored instrument records, drogue displacements, and hydrographic observations are used in describing the coastal currents and upwelling off Peru. The data were obtained over the continental shelf near 15°S. during a two week study in late March and early April of 1969. First order statistics and graphical representations of current...

Comparison of sea level and currents off the Oregon coast using mean monthly data

Creator:: Marthaler, James Gordon
Abstract:: Sea level and current data collected near Newport, Oregon are compared to determine an empirical relationship from which the low frequency (f < .1 cpd) alongshore current field over the continental shelf is estimated from observed sea level measurements at the coast. Regression analysis of the near-surface (20-25 m) currents...

Vertical current measurement in the Oregon coastal upwelling region

Creator:: Deckard, Dennis E.
Abstract:: Direct measurements of vertical water motions were made in the Oregon coastal region during the 1972 summer upwelling season. The instruments used were the Webb-Voorhis vertical current meters which are freely drifting neutrally buoyant floats capable of sensing vertical motion. It was found that in the region studied, water tended...
