Several series of measurements of the hydrography, currents,
and winds during the past ten years are used as a basis for an overview
of the physical oceanography and meteorology during the
upwelling season near Newport, Oregon. Data are described using
elementary statistics, progressive vector diagrams, coordinate system
independent spectra, and...
A tidal and sea level survey was begun in Yaquina Bay, Oregon,
on 8 May, 1964. A continuous recording tide gage was installed at
the pier of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center.
An harmonic analysis of the observed data was made, and the
major tidal constants were compared...
These observations were sporadically made at my home in 1975-1977 and 1982. In spite of their casual nature, this article gives some information about the seasonal status of species at this site.

The Department of Oceanography at Oregon State College
initiated an oceanographic survey of the Oregon coast on July 1,
1958. The purpose of this report is to present salinity,
temperature, and oxygen data collected for the interval from
July 1958 to July 1959, and to present a preliminary interpretation
of...
The Weather Radar Set An/CPS-9 at McCulloch Peak,
Oregon, provided data of changes in radar precipitation
echo patterns in the vicinity of Marys Peak. Echo heights
studied from data collected on 14 March 1963 averaged nearly
the same upwind, directly over Marys Peak, and downwind.
For the data of 28...
Authentic assessment of visitor learning in museum settings is a challenging
endeavor. Evaluation literature includes very few studies that link adult visitors' behavior
to their learning. Multiple data collection methods in a naturalistic environment hold
great promise for increasing understanding of informal public education.
In 1997, Oregon State University's Hatfield...
Coastal sea level, atmospheric pressure and wind speed and direction are measured routinely at Newport, Oregon. The tide gage is situated just inside Yaquina Bay and has been operating continuously since February 1967. Atmospheric pressure is measured at the Oregon State University Marine Science Center, very near the tide gage;...
