Temperature, salinity, density and turbulent dissipation profiles measured using the Rapid Sampling Vertical Profiler during the Coastal Transition Zone Experiment, July 1988.
This paper presents observations of a dynamic minifilament and summarizes the findings of
three microstructure surveys across and within the meandering current structures of the Coastal
Transition Zone (CTZ). An actively turbulent minifilament is discussed and possible consequences
of the small-scale processes with regard to frontal dynamics are examined. Four...
Repeated microstructure transects across filaments in the coastal transition zone (CTZ) have
Revealed fundamental structure and dynamics of the complicated features. The measurements allow
detailed momentum and vorticity analyses and provide a possible explanations for structural
asymmetry of the fronts. Observations made between July 2 and July 23, 1988, along...
Microstructure observations near upwelled fronts indicate considerable variation in the structure of
vertical mixing across the frontal region. Observations of cool filaments off northern California
indicate that within the cool (dense) core of filaments the raised pycnocline inhibits the penetration to
middepths of surface-generated mixing. The microstructure profiles are used...
A synthetic pheromone of the western pine shoot borer, Eucosma sonomana Kearfott, has been used
successfully as a 'mating disrupter in northern Idaho and western Montana since 1984. Infestation
levels in treated ponderosa pine plantations declined from an average of 28 percent infested in 1983
to 5.5 percent by 1986....
Data from the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment are used to describe the velocity fields and water properties associate with cold filaments in the California Current. Combined with previous field surveys and satellite imagery, these show seasonal variability with maximum dynamic height ranges and velocities in summer and minimum values...
Pediatricians and other physicians in the United States identify themselves with various religious or spiritual affiliations and use its practices and customary ways to influence their medical practice. Pediatricians and physicians affiliated in the pediatric medical field have an important role in monitoring the health of many children, teenagers, and...
Douglas-fir tussock moth populations are monitored annually in northern Idaho and western Montana to insure early detection of changes from endemic to outbreak population levels. Adult moth trapping in 1982 was intensified and expanded into additional areas from 1981 because of concern that with each passing year the probability of...
