The effects on the temperature microstructure of terrestrial heat flow and heat flow anomalies at the ocean floor are discussed on the basis of a simple heat diffusion model. The effects on the temperature microstructure of layering of the thermal properties of the ocean are investigated. This is done both...
In this thesis, the interpretation and reduction of ocean heat
flow measurements are discussed on the basis of theoretical models.
The instrument effect x heat flow measurements is investigated for the
case of long period measurements by studying the heat conduction
along the measurement probe for both steady and unsteady...
Measuring surface heat flow at the Hikurangi Trough is key toward characterizing the local thermal regime and the influence of thermally sensitive processes such as fluid flow and slow slip. Marine heat flow data were collected during May– June 2015 in the northern Hikurangi Trough at sites seaward and landward...
Sediments on the inner portion of the Oregon continental shelf
consist of clean, well-sorted, detrital sand. This sand has an average
median diameter of 2.53Φ (. 173 mm) and is both positively and
negatively skewed. Deposits with median diameters in the coarse
sand and gravel classes occur at depths of...
The Department of Oceanography, Oregon State University, has
initiated a program for obtaining weekly samples of surface temperature
and salinity off the Oregon coast. Observations for 1960 and.1961 are
included in two Data Reports: No. 6 (Kujala and Wyatt, 1961) and No. 8
(Oliphant, Wyatt and Kujala, 1962). Data in...
As part of the SuperCODE project, three hydrographic cruises were conducted
off Oregon and California in July 1983, and January to February 1984,
and April 1984. CTD observations were made near Coos Bay at 43°13'N during 12
July 1983 and 31 January 1984, and off Newport at 44°39'N on 11-12...
As part of the SuperCODE and CODE projects, two hydrographic cruises were conducted off Oregon and California in January and April 1984. CTD sections across the continental shelf and slope were made near Coos Bay at 43°13'N, off Crescent City at 41°54%, off Eureka at 40°51%, along the Arena and...
