Many different aspects of the determination of dissolved oxygen
by controlled potential coulometry were investigated to find a means
of measuring the oxygen content of natural waters. Rapid
sampling techniques, simplicity of operation, and rugged structural
features were stressed. Cells were designed to operate by either
internal electrolysis or external...
New analytical methods and instrumentation were developed for the determination of dissolved oxygen (DO) at low concentrations in water. The methods were based on monitoring the absorbance increase due to the oxidation of reduced indigo carmine (IC) by oxygen in the sample in different types of spectrometer cells. Spectrophotometer cells...
This critical review of literature on dissolved oxygen requirements of freshwater fishes is one of a series of papers on water quality criteria, the formulation of which is a prerequisite to the
control of water pollution. It was prepared for FAO by the State of
Oregon (acting by and through...
Experiments were designed to answer key questions about diatom-derived organic matter cycling (i.e., production and degradation) in coastal systems. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) production was examined in axenic batch cultures of five diatom species. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates varied between species, but were significantly higher for all species...
Water chemistry measurements taken at or downstream of Fall Creek Reservoir, OR (43.9459714, -122.755765). Fall Creek is a tributary of the Middle Fork Willamette River, located approximately 20 miles SE of Eugene, Oregon, USA.
Water chemistry measurements included water samples collected from the reservoir outflow (during autumn drawdown) and within...
This is the fifth report of data collected during a study designed to
determine the currents and water masses along the Oregon coast. The
first four reports cover the period from July 1958 to December 1961 (Wyatt
and Callaway, 1961; Wyatt and Kujala, 1961; Wyatt and Kujala, 1962; Wyatt
and...
Wind-driven coastal upwelling brings subsurface water onto the central-Oregon shelf after the spring transition each year. This cold and salty source water is oxygen-poor, yet above the hypoxic threshold, dissolved oxygen < 1.4 ml l⁻¹. Once on the shelf, dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations of upwelled near-bottom waters are modified by...
After three decades of active research coupling hydrology and stream ecology, the connection among solute transport, metabolism and processing is still unresolved. These knowledge gaps obscure the functioning of stream ecosystems and how those ecosystems interact with other landscape processes. We must resolve these challenges to wisely manage water resources,...
