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...

The response of Oregon shelf waters to wind fluctuations : differences and the transition between winter and summer

Creator:: Sobey, Edwin J. C., 1948-
Abstract:: The physical characteristics of continental shelf waters off Oregon during late winter and spring of 1975 are described and compared with observations taken previously during summer. The currents in winter are barotropic in the monthly means while in summer the currents are baroclinic. Alongshore current fluctuations on the time scale...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Geochemical expression of volcanism in an on-axis and intraplate hotspot : Cobb and Marquesas

Creator:: Desonie, Dana L.
Abstract:: The Pacific Ocean basin is home to a set of hotspots diverse in their eruption rate, duration of volcanism, and basalt chemistry. Pacific hotspots are found in a spectrum of distinct plate tectonic settings, from near a spreading ridge to intraplate. Cobb hotspot, which resulted in formation of the Cobb-Eickelberg...
