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...
This report covers the first full year of operation of our gammaray
spectrometry facility. A part of the contract period was devoted
to calibration of the instrument, and therefore, a brief report on this
procedure is included.
Bayocean sand spit lies along the northern Oregon coast
approximately 70 miles south of the Columbia River. Work was
begun on the construction of a large recreational resort on the spit
in the early 1900's. At the outset, the resort appeared to have a
promising future. However, a three-year delay...
This publication consists of reports of projects carried out by
students in the Marine Resource Management Program in the School of
Oceanography at Oregon State University. These studies, sponsored by
the OSU Sea Grant Program and the School of Oceanography, were carried
out during the period 1974 to 1980. The...
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...
Most of the period of my visit was spent working in the turbulence
section of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics. Brief visits were made
to the Institute of Oceanology, Academy of Sciences in Moscow, to some
departments of Moscow State University, and to one department of the
Institute of Oceanology...
