Renewable energy sources are becoming increasingly important due to their low environmental impact and limitless nature. This thesis explores the design of a 250 mW permanent magnet linear generator wave energy converter to power ocean sensors. While many wave energy converters exist, this is a unique application because the wave...
A sharp temperature front, oriented along the south-west corner of the leading edge of a Tropical Instability Wave (TIW) warm trough, was encountered at 0°N, 140°W on November 2, 2008 and detected by a 0.45°C increase in SST that occurred over 7 s. The distinct SST signal was observed at...

This manual gives step-by-step instructions for processing raw data measured by chipod and GusT turbulence sensors. These instruments are designed and manufactured by the Ocean Mixing Group in Oregon State University's College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences.
The properties and evolution of nonlinear internal waves (NLIWs) depend
upon the background conditions within which waves form, propagate, and dissipate. As a result, the NLIW field on the New Jersey shelf displayed dramatic variability during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment. Wave variability was exhibited by 1) amplitudes that ranged...
Thorough understanding of the mechanisms controlling the temperature structure in the surface mixed layer of the ocean and, in particular, accurate values of sea surface temperature are critical for properly parameterizing air-sea heat exchange and quantifying the amount of heat redistributed below the surface. It is however difficult to obtain...
A taxonomic study of the genus Gautieria Vitt. is presented.
Existing type collections were re-examined, fully described and
figures. Twenty-six species are recognized. Two provisional subgenera
are proposed: Gautieria and Clelandia. Within the subgenus
Gautieria, two provisional sections are proposed: Gautieria and
Trappea. G. morchellaeformis var. globospora, and
G. morchellaeformis...
Three provisional species are described as new: Leucogaster
couchii, L. gelatinosus, and L. microsporus. Leucophlebs candida
is transferred to Leucogastef, completing the transfer of all
Leucophlebs species to Leucogaster. L. columellatus is transferred
to Sclerogaster. L. longisterigmatus is synonymized with
L. rubescens, L. foveolatus with L. odoratus, and L. fulvimaculatus...
