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...

Observations of the velocity fields over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon and off Peru have shown that there is a phase difference in the onshore-offshore direction, with the velocity fluctuations nearshore leading those offshore in time. It is shown here that the effects of bottom Ekman layer friction...
A drifter equipped with bio-optical sensors and an automated water sampler was deployed in the California Current as part of the coastal transition zone program to study the biological, chemical, and physical dynamics of the meandering filaments. During deployments in 1987 and 1988, measurements were made of fluorescence, downwelling irradiance,...
During the summers of 1987 and 1988, 77 near-surface satellite-tracked drifters were deployed in or near cold filaments near Point Arena, California (39ºN), and tracked for up to 6 months as part of the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) program. The drifters had large drogues centered at 15 m, and the...
The accessions used in this study were comprised of 246 snap bean and 49 dry bean genotypes. Of these, 150 snap bean accessions came from the Common Bean Coordinated Agriculture Project Snap Bean Diversity panel, an assemblage of 59 Chinese snap bean genotypes obtained from a trip to China in...
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) helps limited-income families in Oregon
improve their nutrition practices. These include learning to:
□ Stretch family food dollars
□ Choose foods for better nutrition for family members
□ Purchase food for nutritional needs
□ Improve food production, preparation, storage, safety, and sanitation
An analysis is presented of low-frequency (<0.4 cpd) fluctuations in currents, temperature and tide gage data collected during the March-September 1976 segment of the CUEA JOINT-II experiment off the coast of Peru. The observations were made near 15°S, a region of particularly strong and persistent coastal upwelling. Conclusions about the...
4-H Adventures is an informal educational program designed for children in grades K-3. The 4-H Adventures program encourages children to have fun, develop friendships, and learn about their world. The program also aims to strengthen ties among children, families, and their larger communities.
