A summary of moored instrument measurements over the continental
shelf of Peru is presented. Measurements of variables were made in an
upwelling zone between Pisco and San Juan, from 28 March to 9 April, 1969.
Time series of temperature and horizontal current and wind velocities were
obtained at several depths...
A summary of the observations taken from moored stations and hydrographic surveys in POLYMODE Array III Cluster C is presented. Currents and water temperatures were measured at various depths, including: 150, 225, 300, 500, 750, 1500, 2500, and 4000 meters.
Hydrographic surveys were made during the deployment and recovery cruises....
The Columbia Basin once supported a diversity of native fishes and large runs of anadromous salmonids that sustained substantial fisheries and cultural values. Extensive land conversion, watershed disruptions, and subsequent fishery declines have led to one of the most ambitious restoration programs in the world. Progress has been made, but...
The conceptual framework of an erosion model has been designed to link processes of mass wasting, surface erosion, and channel storage and transport. A program to stimulate mass wasting will be based on a variation of the factor of safety approach which balances forces tending to drive mass movement against...
Rising atmospheric [CO₂], cₐ, is expected to affect stomatal regulation of leaf gas-exchange of woody plants, thus influencing energy fluxes as well as carbon (C), water, and nutrient cycling of forests. Researchers have proposed various strategies for stomatal regulation of leaf gas-exchange that include maintaining a constant leaf internal [CO₂],...
The status of fisheries resources on coastal and offshore areas is getting worse in Taiwan. Thus, to establish a fishery resources management system has become the main task among stakeholders. In this study, we would like to examine the feasibility of imposing the community-based co-management system and setting closed fishing...
