This is the first of two technical reports derived from the dissertation
by Yao, Neng-Chun titled "Bispectral and Cross-bispectral Analysis
of Winds and Currents off the Oregon Coast. " In this first technical
report we give the theoretical development of the rotary component
approach to the bispectrum and cross-bispectrum among...
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...
This report covers somewhat more than a full year of operation.
Individual contracts between the AEC and Oregon State University covering
the research of William Pearcy, Andrew Carey, Jr. , and Charles Osterberg
were combined into a joint contract on 1 November 1964. No Progress
Reports for the unexpired portions...
The FRONTS-80 experiment is a joint investigation supported by the
Office of Naval Research (ONR) as the lead agency with additional contributions
from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),
the National Space Administration (NASA), the U.S. Navy and the Canadian
Forces. Support from these agencies is gratefully acknowledged. We...
A graph is presented which shows the average annual temperature depth profile which has been computed and estimated for the
Brownlee Reservoir. Forecast computations and estimations are
for a median river flow year. The graph also contains forecasts
of the annual temperature cycle for the Snake River below Brownlee Dam.
The mail boat trip was taken from Lewiston to Hells Canyon and return. Bathythermograph observations were made in deep holes at Buffalo Eddy, Nez Perce Dam site, and near Mountain Sheep Dam site. Thermograph sites on the Grande Ronde River were evaluated. A number of lakes, reservoirs, and dams were...
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...
Graphs are presented which show the average annual temperature depth profile which has been established for a position one mile above Brownlee Dame. Forecasts are make for median river flow and low river flow years. The graphs also contain forecasts of the annual temperature cycle for the Snake River just...
