Oregon State University is now observing its Centennial Year. The
first hundred years has brought immense growth to the institution which
is reflected in the last decade.by the initiation and development of a
Department of Oceanography.
Brief descriptions of the I/O requirements for four production oceanography programs running at Oregon State University are presented. The applications all rely exclusively on array-oriented, sequential file operations. Persistent files are used for checkpointing and movie making, while temporary files are used to store out-of-core data.
This report is a description of the first extended oceanographic
cruise made by staff of the Department of Oceanography, Oregon State
University, aboard the Research Vessel YAQUINA. The purpose is to
describe the track made good and the observational programs undertaken
for the information of those who may wish to...

The distribution of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South
Pacific has been examined using a model of horizontal advection,
along the Sigma-t surface 27.10, with three point vertical mixing.
The core of the Antarctic Intermediate Water mass was traced
from the Antarctic Convergence northward. The charts used to
describe the...
Ana1ysis of January to March samples of gaper clam larvae from Yaquina Bay, Oregon have established four hypotheses for further testing: 1) gaper clams have an approximately lunar cycle of spawning intensity with maximum production of larvae at the periods of greatest tidal amplitude, 2) the time required for development...

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...
Agricultural education at the high school level, like all vocational programs, is expanding vertically as well as horizontally. With this increased emphasis placed on vocational agriculture, the shortage of teachers is already being felt and the situation will, in all probability, become more critical.
The expansion of the programs to...

A multispectral optical sensor collects data at select wavebands or channels. An example is the Sea-viewing Wide-Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) ocean color satellite, which measures eight wavebands between 402 and 885 nm (20-40 nm bandwidth with peaks centered around 412, 443, 490, 510, 555, 670, 765, and 865 nm). Optical oceanographers...
