Wide-angle seismic refraction and reflection studies of the northern California and southern Oregon continental margins

Creator:: Keser, Judith
Abstract:: Recently obtained airgun-sonobuoy wide-angle refraction and reflection profiles provide data to study crustal velocities and structures along the continental margin of northern California and Southern Oregon. In the thick sedimentary wedge at the base of the continental slope, as many as five distinct layers can be seismically observed, which range...

Interactions of wind-driven and tidally-driven circulation in the Oregon coastal ocean

Creator:: Osborne, John J.
Abstract:: Influences of tidal and slower (subtidal) oceanic flows over the continental shelf and slope off Oregon are studied using a high-resolution ocean circulation model and comparative model-data analyses. The model is based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS), a fully nonlinear, three-dimensional model (using hydrostatic and Boussinesq approximations). The...

Relation between natural radioactivity in sediment and potential heavy mineral enrichment on the Washington continental shelf

Creator:: Scheidt, Ronald Carl
Abstract:: Natural radionuclides may be indicators for dense mineral placers along marine shorelines. Relict beach and river deposits occur in continental shelf sediments. These deposits result from the reworking of beach sands by wave action during the Holocene Transgression. Some dense, resistant minerals associated with placer deposits are known to contain...

Inner-shelf circulation off the central Oregon Coast

Creator:: Kirincich, Anthony R.
Abstract:: Inner-shelf circulation and mechanisms of across-shelf transport of water masses were examined using seven years of observations collected by the Partnership for Interdisciplinary Studies of Coastal Oceans (PISCO) program, a long-term monitoring effort along the central Oregon coast. Since 1998, moored velocity and hydrographic measurements have been obtained during the...

Central California Coastal Circulation Study : drifter observations, February, July, October 1984 and January 1985

Creator:: Chelton, Dudley B.
Abstract:: Surface drifters were depldyed and tracked over the continental shelf and upper continental slope off central California between Point Conception and Point Sur. The drifters were deployed and tracked from aircraft by Aero-Marine Surveys, Inc. under subcontract to Raytheon Service Company as part of the Central California Coastal Circulation Study...

Tide-topography coupling on a continental slope

Creator:: Kelly, Samuel M.
Abstract:: Tide-topography coupling is important for understanding surface-tide energy loss, the intermittency of internal tides, and the cascade of internal-tide energy from large to small scales. Although tide-topography coupling has been observed and modeled for 50 years, the identification of surface and internal tides over arbitrary topography has not been standardized....

The fall transition of Oregon shelf waters

Creator:: Reid, Brad
Abstract:: A long and gradual transition between the summer and winter oceanic regimes was observed off Oregon during the autumn of 1980. Hydrographic sections and a single current meter mooring between August and December show the ocean possessed characteristics during fall that have not been observed during other seasons: a slow...
