The results of three hydraulic model tests to evaluate the stability
of a placed stone breakwater are presented and discussed. The prototype
breakwater was designed to protect offshore power and port facilities in
60 feet of water and was tested at scale ratios of 1:10, 1:20, and 1:100.
The armor...
Oysters (all species combined). in terms of ex-vessel value, currently rank seventh largest among all seafood species landed in the United States, following shrimp, salmon, tuna, crab, lobster, and menhaden.
The supply of domestic hatchery seed for oyster propagation is not sufficient to meet the potential demand at current market...

The authors investigate atmospheric internal gravity waves (IGWs): their generation and induction of global intermittent turbulence in the nocturnal stable atmospheric boundary layer based on the new concept of turbulence generation discussed in a prior paper by Sun et al. The IGWs are generated by air lifted by convergence forced...
Relationships among the horizontal pressure gradient, the Coriolis force, and the vertical momentum transport by turbulent fluxes are investigated using data collected from the 1999 Cooperative Atmosphere-Surface Exchange Study (CASES-99). Wind toward higher pressure (WTHP) adjacent to the ground occurred about 50% of the time. For wind speed at 5...

Capturing breeding adults of colonially nesting species can entail risks of nest failure and even colony abandonment, especially in species that react strongly to human disturbance. A low-disturbance technique for capturing specific adult Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) at a ground-nesting colony was developed to reduce these risks and is described...
