Numerical Simulation of Air–Sea Coupling during Coastal Upwelling

Creator:: Perlin, Natalie, Skyllingstad, Eric D., Samelson, Roger M., and Barbour, Philip L.
Abstract:: Air–sea coupling during coastal upwelling was examined through idealized three-dimensional numerical simulations with a coupled atmosphere–ocean mesoscale model. Geometry, topography, and initial and boundary conditions were chosen to be representative of summertime coastal conditions off the Oregon coast. Over the 72-h simulations, sea surface temperatures were reduced several degrees near...

Moisture fluxes over snow with and without protruding vegetation

Creator:: Mahrt, Larry and Vickers, D.
Abstract:: The sublimation of snow and evaporation of melted snow is contrasted between brush, grass and bare ground sites using eddy-correlation data. Averaged over the entire winter season, the evaporation/sublimation is about 20% greater over the brush site than the bare ground site, apparently due to greater supply of snow. Blowing...

Oceanic Protists

Creator:: Sherr, Barry F., Sherr, Evelyn, Caron, David A., Vaulot, Daniel, and Worden, Alexandra Z.
Abstract:: Protists are microscopic eukaryotic microbes that are ubiquitous, diverse, and major participants in oceanic food webs and in marine biogeochemical cycles. The study and characterization of protists has a long and distinguished tradition. Even with this history, the extraordinary species diversity and variety of interactions of protists in the sea...

Swimbladder morphology and specific gravity of myctophids off Oregon

Creator:: Butler, John L. and Pearcy, William G.
Abstract:: Three general types of swimbladders were found in the eight species of myctophids studied: gas-filled, fat-invested, and atrophied or reduced. Small specimens of all species had thin-walled, gas-filled swimbladders. Large specimens of Stenobrachius leucopsarus had fat-invested swim-bladders and large Diaphus theta had either gas-filled or atrophied swimbladders, as found by...

Currents and water masses of the coastal transition zone off Northern California, June to August 1988

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Fleischbein, Jane, Ramp, Steven R., Stanton, Tim, Washburn, Libe, Chavez, Francisco P., Cowles, Timothy J., Pierce, Stephen D., and Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-
Abstract:: In summer 1988, we made repeated mesoscale surveys of a grid extending 200 km offshore between 37°N and 39°N in the coastal transition zone off northern California, obtaining continuous acoustic Doppler current profiler data and conductivity-temperature-depth data at standard stations 25 km apart on alongshore sections 40 km apart. All...

Comments on "The non-wavelike response of a continental shelf to wind" by G. T. Csanady

Creator:: Brink, K. H. and Allen, John S.
Abstract:: 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

Integration of submersible transect data and high-resolution multibeam sonar imagery for a habitat-based groundfish assessment of Heceta Bank, Oregon

Creator:: Nasby-Lucas, Nicole M., Embley, Bob W., Hixon, Mark A., Merle, Susan G., Tissot, Brian N., and Wright, Dawn J.
Abstract:: In the face of dramatic declines in groundfish populations and a lack of sufficient stock assessment information, a need has arisen for new methods of assessing groundfish populations. We describe the integration of seafloor transect data gathered by a manned submersible with high-resolution sonar imagery to produce a habitat- based...

Coupled ocean-atmosphere interaction at oceanic mesoscales

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B. and Xie, Shang-Ping
Abstract:: Satellite observations have revealed a remarkably strong positive correlation between sea surface temperature (SST) and surface winds on oceanic mesoscales of 10–1000 km. Although SST influence on the atmosphere had previously been identified from several in situ observational studies, its widespread existence in regions of strong SST gradients throughout the...

Complementary constraints from carbon ¹³C and nitrogen ¹⁵N isotopes on the glacial ocean's soft-tissue biological pump

Creator:: Schmittner, A. and Somes, C. J.
Abstract:: A three-dimensional, process-based model of the ocean’s carbon and nitrogen cycles, including 13C and 15N isotopes, is used to explore effects of idealized changes in the soft-tissue biological pump. Results are presented from one preindustrial control run (piCtrl) and six simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) with increasing values...
