We have expanded on the results of an earlier paper [J. Chem. Phys. 72, 221 (1980)] which deals with a method for determining the response of a static, partially ordered ensemble of molecules to various types of electromagnetic probes. In this paper we consider types of spectroscopy whose response depends...
This paper discusses the persistency of one of today’s major subsidy schemes in Norwegian fisheries: exemption from fuel taxes in the fishing fleet. The reimbursement scheme stems from the late 1980s, and has been persistent since, under different governments. Here we provide the background for this support and discuss it’s...
Though the commercial value per pound of Pacific halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) is greater than that of most target species in trawl fisheries off Alaska, halibut retention is prohibited for trawlers and individual groundfish target trawl fisheries are subject to closure if they attain either their seasonal or annual limit of...
The event-scale variability of across-shelf transport was investigated using observations made in 15 m of
water on the central Oregon inner shelf. In a study area with intermittently upwelling-favorable winds and
significant density stratification, hydrographic and velocity observations show rapid across-shelf movement of
water masses over event time scales of...
The spatial and temporal variability of inner-shelf circulation along the central Oregon coast during the
2004 upwelling season is described using a 70-km-long array of moorings along the 15-m isobath. Circulation
at three stations located onshore of a submarine bank differed from that of a station north of the bank,...
We use data from a series of small (three to five stations) overlapping magnetovariational (MV) arrays to image variations of vertically integrated electrical conductivity in the crust of southwestern Washington. Two principal structures are revealed: a large north-south trending anomaly (the southern Washington Cascades Conductor (SWCC), which has been detected...
In a companion paper (Egbert et al., this issue) we describe the estimation of very long period (0.16 < T < 91 days) magnetotelluric (MT) impedances from 11 years of data collected at the Tucson geomagnetic observatory. Here we discuss the implications of these data for mantle conductivity. Using minimum...
We study the statistical properties of the coastal wind field along the west coast of North America for
two summers. 1981 and 1982 Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiments 1 and 2, respectively), and the
Intervening winter using measured winds and geostrophic winds calculated from Fleet Numerical Oceanography

Aerial photo cruising that can be accomplished quickly, cheaply and with a satisfactory degree of accuracy has been the goal of many forest mensurationists throughout the world. As early as 1925, photo cruising was accomplished successfully by Professor R. Hugershoff and his associates in Germany. The development of this technique...
