Hydrographic, chemical and optical data collected on legs 4 and 5 (November and December, 1971) of YALOC-71 in the vicinity of the Panama Basin are presented. The measurements were made for two purposes--to study the behavior of the Cromwell Current near the Galapagos Islands and to study the suspended particulate...
This compilation lists in chronological order the oceanographic reports published in 1974 and 1975. It is the second annual update of our reference 74-1 which brought together a listing of all the numbered series issued, 1955-1973. Reference 75-1 listed 1972-1973 and 1974 reports. It also lists theses for which degrees...
In 1955 one oceanography report was issued by Oregon State University. The School of Oceanography now issues between 35 and 50 reports per year. This compilation lists in chronological order all oceanographic reports published through 1973. It also lists theses for which degrees were awarded between 1962 and 1973. Both...

Our primary purpose in developing this instrument is to measure
vertical temperature fluctuations in the ocean to the smallest scales at
which they exist. This goal dictates the basic concept of the instrument,
as C. S. Cox saw in the 1960's. Vertical temperature changes are seen
as changes with time...
Between 2007 and 2009, researchers from Green Point Consulting, Oregon State University, and the South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve collected data on ecological and physical characteristics at five high-quality “least disturbed” tidal wetland sites in four Oregon estuaries.
The reference sites included in this project are (1) Blind Slough...
The mesopelagic animals which are most often detected acoustically are those which contain gas bubbles within their bodies. In the waters off the Oregon coast, the most abundant animals which contain gas bubbles are myctophids. Both the size and the shape of the bubble are important to acoustic measurements. This...
The R/V WECOMA cruise leg 6 emphasized the field work of the marine geology research program on "Patterns and processes of continental margin sedimentation." This program constitutes a mesoscale study of processes controlling hemipelagic sediment distribution and composition beneath the coastal upwelling, non-upwelling and pelagic regimes of the equatorial East...
This report presents biological baseline
information gathered during the research project,
"Physical, Chemical and Biological Studies on Youngs Bay." Youngs Bay is a shallow embayment
located on the south shore of the Columbia River,
near Astoria, Oregon. Nearby portions of the
Youngs River, Lewis and Clark River, Columbia
River, and...
Observations of wind speed and direction, air and sea temperature, and solar radiation were obtained from an array of buoys in JASIN. The observations were analyzed to show spatial and temporal variability. Spectra of wind speed and air and sea temperature were computed to illustrate the distribution of variance over...
