The Optical Dynamics Experiment (ODEX) cruise of Oct and Nov 1982 occupied 1984 stations along a transect from the California coast at 35°N to a study area covering the subtropical front near 32°N, 142°W. This report presents data collected with spectral—radiometer instrument package and particle size distributions of discrete water...
First-order analyses of wind and current time series obtained from a Totem buoy off the Oregon coast during 1970 are presented. In addition, winds at Totem are compared with winds recorded simultaneously at Newport, Oregon.
In the past several years, international interest in gas hydrates in marine sediments has
increased considerably because of increasing recognition that the large volume of gas stored
in hydrates or trapped beneath them is a significant fraction of the global methane budget,
and may therefore be a source of energy...
The Department of Oceanography, Oregon State University, has
initiated a program for obtaining weekly samples of surface temperature
and salinity off the Oregon coast. Observations for 1960 and.1961 are
included in two Data Reports: No. 6 (Kujala and Wyatt, 1961) and No. 8
(Oliphant, Wyatt and Kujala, 1962). Data in...
The Arctic Internal Wave Experiment (AIWEX) was designed to study the internal wave and microstructure fields in the Beaufort Sea in the early spring. A major goal of the experiment was to verify the hypothesis that the internal wave and microstructure fields beneath the ice are far less energetic than...
A summary is presented of drift bottle releases and recoveries for
87 cruises taken between January 1961 and January 1971. Statistics for
each drift bottle recovered are given for the total time elapsed between
release and recovery, the velocity and the direction toward which each
bottle traveled. Maps of drift...
