Bi-weekly sampling of zooplankton and environmental parameters was conducted along a cross-shelf transect off the coast of Newport, OR, USA (44.65°N) from 1996 to present. Results have demonstrated the feasibility of using copepod community structure as an early indicator of ecosystem response to seasonal and large scale environmental changes in...
The data set presented here includes the discrete depth profile data and time series data
from the vertical profiling cruises carried out as a portion of the “Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport” (COAST) project. The primary purpose for collection of this data set was to calibrate the optical parameters...
During the W7711A cruise, from November 5 through November
13, 1977, a series of measurements were made on the hydrography, suspended particulate matter (spm), nutrients, first and second trophic level biomasses, primary productivity and zooplankton species for the purpose of gaining concurrent winter time information on these parameters. The cruise...
This report presents data collected on six cruises made during the months May-October 1972 along the Oregon coast. Both complete data listings and sequential surface data contour charts are presented. The latter graphically display rapid changes in surface water characteristics on time scales as short as a few hours.
