Numerical model investigations of wind-driven coastal circulation

Creator:: Cervantes, Brandy T.
Abstract:: The effects of wind forcing on coastal ocean circulation are studied using a numerical modeling approach. The first region of interest is on the North Carolina shelf, where the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Inner Shelf Study (ISS) took place during August - November 1994. ISS observations are used to initialize,...

Variability in mesoscale circulation and its effects on zooplankton distribution in the Northern California Current

Creator:: Keister, Julie Eileen
Abstract:: In eastern boundary current upwelling ecosystems, mesoscale circulation features such as eddies and upwelling filaments play a prominent role in the transfer of water and the associated plankton from the productive nearshore to the oligotrophic deep sea. The relationship between mesoscale circulation, zooplankton distributions, and the across-shelf transport of coastal...

Dietary responses of marine predators to variable oceanographic conditions in the Northern California Current

Creator:: Gladics, Amanda J.
Abstract:: Variable ocean conditions can greatly impact lower trophic level prey assemblages in marine ecosystems, with effects propagating up to higher trophic levels. Our goal was to better understand how varying ocean conditions influence diets and niche overlap among a suite of low- to mid trophic level predators. We studied the...

Hydrographic data from the first Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment : R/V Wecoma, Leg 7, 1-14 July 1981

Creator:: Olivera, Martin, Gilbert, William, E., Fleischbein, Jane, and Huyer, Adriana
Abstract:: CTD observations were made in the Code region near Pt. Arena on the northern California coast at 39°N, off Crescent City at 41°54 1 N, off Half Moon Bay at 37°25'N and off Pt. Purisima at 34°45'N during 2-13 July 1981. The observations in the Code region included three repeated...

Inner-shelf circulation off the central Oregon Coast

Creator:: Kirincich, Anthony R.
Abstract:: Inner-shelf circulation and mechanisms of across-shelf transport of water masses were examined using seven years of observations collected by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) program, a long-term monitoring effort along the central Oregon coast. Since 1998, moored velocity and hydrographic measurements have been obtained during the...

Structure and kinematics of the permanent oceanic front off the Oregon coast

Creator:: Collins, Curtis Allan
Abstract:: Using the hydrographic data collected by the ACONA from June 1961 to May 1963, the Oregon coastal front has been examined. Representative sigma-t surfaces were chosen to delineate the front, and changes in position of these surfaces with time were used to obtain zonal flow rates for the frontal and...
