Comparing the hydrography and copepod community structure of the continental shelf ecosystems of Washington and Oregon, USA from 1998 to 2009 : can a single transect serve as an index of ocean conditions over a broader area?

Creator:: Lamb, Jesse F.
Abstract:: Bi-weekly sampling of zooplankton and environmental parameters was conducted along a cross-shelf transect off the coast of Newport, OR, USA (44.65°N) from 1996 to present. Results have demonstrated the feasibility of using copepod community structure as an early indicator of ecosystem response to seasonal and large scale environmental changes in...

Chemical data from Oregon waters, 1972

Creator:: Tomlinson, Richard D., Barstow, Lynda, Standley, David R., Williams, Suelynn, Gordon, Louis I., and Park, P. Kilho
Abstract:: This report presents data collected on six cruises made during the months May-October 1972 along the Oregon coast. Both complete data listings and sequential surface data contour charts are presented. The latter graphically display rapid changes in surface water characteristics on time scales as short as a few hours. The...

Hydrographic, optical, and biological observations on the central Oregon shelf during 6-13 November 1977

Creator:: Menzies, David W., Kitchen, James C., Moore, Sandy, Peterson, William T., Ambler, Julie, Pak, Hasong, and Zaneveld, J. Ronald V.
Abstract:: During the W7711A cruise, from November 5 through November 13, 1977, a series of measurements were made on the hydrography, suspended particulate matter (spm), nutrients, first and second trophic level biomasses, primary productivity and zooplankton species for the purpose of gaining concurrent winter time information on these parameters. The cruise...

Eelgrass-macroalgae interactions; context-dependency in upwelling-influenced estuaries

Creator:: Hessing-Lewis, Margot
Abstract:: This dissertation investigates the context-dependency of species interactions between seagrass and macroalgae in upwelling-influenced estuaries. In all coastal systems, nutrient loading is multidirectional, resulting from mostly freshwater and marine inputs. The directionality of nutrient inputs may affect the rate of supply of organic matter to the system. In systems where...

Pump station data report for the May 2001, August 2001 and January 2003 COAST cruises : nutrients, extracted chlorophyll, and dissolved and particulate organic carbon and nitrogen

Creator:: Wetz, Jennifer Jarrell and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: The data set presented here includes the discrete depth profile data and time series data from the vertical profiling cruises carried out as a portion of the “Coastal Ocean Advances in Shelf Transport” (COAST) project. The primary purpose for collection of this data set was to calibrate the optical parameters...

Upper ocean water properties and currents along paired sections in the Northern California current, spring 1998-2003

Creator:: Fleischbein, Jane H., Huyer, Adriana, 1945-, Kosro, P. Michael, 1951-, Smith, Robert L. (Robert Lloyd), 1935-, Wetz, Jennifer Jarrell, and Wheeler, Patricia A.
Abstract:: As part of the U. S. GLOBEC NorthEast Pacific Program we made repeated seasonal hydrographic surveys in the northern California Current system (Figure 1) between July 1997 and September 2003. These surveys included early spring sampling along a pair of hydrographic sections, one north (at 44.6ºN) and one south (at...

Studies of juvenile salmonids off the Oregon and Washington coast, 1981

Creator:: Wakefield, W. Waldo, 1951-, Fisher, Jeffrey P., and Pearcy, William G.
Abstract:: The Oregon State University School of oceanography conducted purse seining surveys of juvenile salmonids in the ocean off Oregon and Washington during spring and summer 1981. The objectives of the field study were: 1) To collect information on the distribution and abundance of juvenile salmonids off Oregon and Washington; and...

An investigation of the distribution and abundance of ichthyoplankton and juvenile benthic fishes in relation to nearshore hypoxia within the Northern California Current system

Creator:: Johnson, Angela M.
Abstract:: Nearshore hypoxia within the Northern California Current (NCC) system is a seasonal phenomenon caused by coastal upwelling and occurs mainly during late-summer and early fall. The effects of low oxygen levels on fish and invertebrate communities, particularly during early-life history stages, however, are poorly known for this area. I investigated...

Foraging behavior of the Pacific harbor seal (Phoca vitulina richardii) in the Pacific Northwest and potential impacts of coastal hypoxia on foraging efficiency

Creator:: Steingass, Sheanna M.
Abstract:: In the last decade, the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem has experienced a trend of increased severity of upwelling-driven coastal hypoxia. This thesis strove to examine the potential upper trophic level impacts of moderate and severe hypoxia in the CCLME. Initially I conducted a literature review of Pacific harbor seal...

Regional scale sandbar variability : observations from the U.S. Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Di Leonardo, Diana R.
Abstract:: Understanding sandbar dynamics and variability is integral to developing a predictive capacity for nearshore flows, sediment transport, morphological change, and ultimately for determining coastline exposure to damaging storm waves. Along the high-energy U.S. Pacific Northwest (PNW) coast, sandbars typically dominate the bathymetry of the active zone. Here we report on...
