The behavior of different parameterizations of mixed layer physics when used in an oceanic general circulation model (OGCM) having coarse resolution of the upper ocean is examined. The method of parameterization is expected to have an important effect on the resulting sea surface temperature, and hence affect the model's overall...
During April 1979 the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife participated in a survey of Pacific ocean perch (Sebastes alutus) in cooperation with the National Marine Fisheries Service and Washington Department of Fisheries. The survey occurred off the coasts of Oregon and Washington from Newport, Oregon to Cape Flattery. Planning...
Knowledge of the pelagic organisms in vast areas of the open ocean is very limited. This is particularly true of the small nekton or swimming forms such as fishes, squid, prawns and euphausiids, which are important as intermediate animals in the food chain and are preyed upon by species such...
A visual guide to the invasive Asian jumping worm, including an explanation of why these worms matter, how they spread, how they may cause an increase in toxic mercury in water, and their potential impacts on the ecosystem.
The application was prepared for the Port of Newport by Pacific Habitat Services and John van Staveren. It was submitted to the Army Corps of Engineers - Portland in May 2010.
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...
