This report is a description of the first extended oceanographic
cruise made by staff of the Department of Oceanography, Oregon State
University, aboard the Research Vessel YAQUINA. The purpose is to
describe the track made good and the observational programs undertaken
for the information of those who may wish to...
In 1960 a program of monitoring the zooplankton populations of Yaquina Bay, Oregon, was begun. The frequency of sampling was maintained at close to weekly intervals after 1 January 1963, usually at five stations. Abundances of all the species found in the bay of both meroplankton and holoplankton have been...
A summary of the first. year's results in a program of current measuring techniques employing the electromagnetic method is presented. The data was taken on hydrographic survey cruises ranging to 165 miles offshore from Oregon. The measurements in this first phase consist solely of those taken by the method of...
During 1971 the Department of Oceanography, Oregon State University,
continued its program of shore sampling of ocean temperatures and salinities
along the coast of the Pacific Northwest. Daily observations for six stations
are listed along with monthly maxima, minima, means and standard deviations
of temperature and salinity.
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...
Salinity, temperature, oxygen, phosphate, and nitrate observations were taken by Oregon State University on 16 hydrographic cruises in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean during 1969. Alkalinity , pH and silicate were taken on special occasions. Nine cruises were taken along the Newport line. The rest were special cruises made off Depoe...
Salinity, temperature, oxygen phosphate, nitrate and silicate
observatIons were taken by Oregon State University on 21 hydrographic
cruises in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean during 1968. Alklinity , pH
and total CO2 were taken on special occasions. Fifteen cruises were
taken along the Newport line. The rest were special cruises made...
