Sea surface velocity determination using satellite imagery : validation and an application

Creator:: Tokamakian, Robin
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

1970 Totem wind and current data

Creator:: Plutchak, Noel B. and THEMIS Group
Abstract:: First-order analyses of wind and current time series obtained from a Totem buoy off the Oregon coast during 1970 are presented. In addition, winds at Totem are compared with winds recorded simultaneously at Newport, Oregon.

A three component drag probe for the measurement of ocean wave orbital velocities and turbulent water velocity fluctuations

Creator:: Earle, Delph Marshall, 1913-
Abstract:: A three component drag probe has been built, calibrated, and used to measure velocities beneath deep water ocean waves and turbulence in a tidal channel. Simple variable inductance devices which may be submerged in water were used as displacement transducers and the associated electronics provided voltage outputs which were proportional...

Measurements of subsurface currents off the Oregon Coast made by tracking of parachute drogues

Creator:: Wyatt, Bruce, Stevenson, Merritt R., Gilbert, William, and Pattullo, June G.
Abstract:: Currents between the surface and 1000 m depth off the Oregon coast have been measured by tracking parachute drogues. The study was initiated by Mr. Bruce Wyatt in January 1962, using the R/V ACONA. Dr. Paul M. Maughan participated in the earlier half of the work and wrote his master's...

Measuring surface longshore currents with an optical technique

Creator:: Chickadel, Carmine C.
Abstract:: Longshore currents are frequently occurring phenomena capable of transporting beach sediments, causing accretion and erosion of the shoreline. Forcing mechanisms are understood and well modeled for cases of alongshore homogeneous and monotonic bathymetry, yet the extension of these models to complex and irregular bathymetry sometimes fails. To test and improve...

Simulation of coastal processes in a circular wave basin

Creator:: Katzev, David H.
Abstract:: The circular wave basin provides a means of physically modeling the nearshore without the typical problems associated with end walls. Three different coastal processes were examined to demonstrate the use of a spiral wavemaker in a circular wave basin. These were longshore currents, shear waves, and groin circulation. A beach...

A study of the relationship between local winds and currents over the continental shelf off Oregon

Creator:: Huyer, Adriana, 1945-
Abstract:: This thesis demonstrates that at low frequencies (periods longer than 2.5 days) local currents off the coast of Oregon are closely related to the wind. Wind and current observations made during August and September 1969 are described and compared to demonstrate that a relationship exists; the physics of the interaction...

A compilation of observation[s] from moored current meters, thermographs, and wind instrument. Vol. 4. Peru continental shelf March-April 1969

Creator:: Enfield, David Bruce, Smith, Robert L., Pattullo, J. G., Pillsbury, R. D., Hopkins, T., and Dugdale, R. C.
Abstract:: A summary of moored instrument measurements over the continental shelf of Peru is presented. Measurements of variables were made in an upwelling zone between Pisco and San Juan, from 28 March to 9 April, 1969. Time series of temperature and horizontal current and wind velocities were obtained at several depths...

An investigation of upwelling along the Oregon coast

Creator:: Smith, Robert Lloyd
Abstract:: The oceanic phenomenon of upwelling along the Oregon coast is examined. Upwelling in both the open ocean and coastal regions is discussed. An idealized model is used, envisaging the ocean off Oregon to consist of homogeneous surface and deep layers separated by a pycnocline. The equations of motion are solved...
