Nearshore wave predictions along the Oregon and southwest Washington coast

Creator:: García-Medina, Gabriel
Abstract:: This thesis contains a manuscript describing the implementation of a high resolution wave forecasting model for the coasts of Washington and Oregon. The purpose of this project was to advance the wave predictive capabilities of the states of Oregon and the southwest part of Washington by including the effects of...

Tidal-band and high-frequency internal variability on the central Oregon inner shelf

Creator:: Suanda, Sutara H.
Abstract:: Analogous to ocean surface waves, waves in the ocean interior also experience steepening, breaking, and dissipation as they approach the coastline. Much less is known about this internal beach. In this work, extensive moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and temperature/salinity data together with optical remote sensing are combined to describe...

Toward wave energy in Oregon : predicting wave conditions and extracted power

Creator:: Oskamp, Jeffrey A.
Abstract:: Knowledge of wave conditions in nearshore regions supports the development of ocean wave energy technology by providing wave climatology for device design considerations, and power output estimates. By modeling wave transformation over the continental shelf, wave conditions were predicted in nearshore regions where potential wave energy conversion sites are located....

An empirical statistical model relating winds and ocean surface currents : implications for short-term current forecasts

Creator:: Zelenke, Brian Christopher
Abstract:: An empirical statistical model is developed that relates the non-tidal motion of the ocean surface currents off the Oregon coast to forecasts of the coastal winds. The empirical statistical model is then used to produce predictions of the surface currents that are evaluated for their agreement with measured currents. Measurements...

Processes of sea-cliff erosion on the Oregon coast : from neotectonics to wave run-up

Creator:: Shih, Shyuer-ming
Abstract:: Sea-cliff erosion is a significant problem along the Oregon coast in that many communities have been built on terraces affected by bluff retreat. There is considerable coast-wide variability in the rates of cliff erosion. This variability is attributed in part to tectonic activity that is causing differential interseismic uplift along...

The wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Lenee-Bluhm, Pukha
Abstract:: The substantial wave energy resource of the US Pacific Northwest (i.e. off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and N. California) is assessed and characterized. Archived spectral records from ten wave measurement buoys, operated and maintained by the National Data Buoy Center and the Coastal Data Information Program, form the basis...

A Bayesian approach to habitat suitability prediction

Creator:: Lockett, Daniel Edwin, IV
Abstract:: For the west coast of North America, from northern California to southern Washington, a habitat suitability prediction framework was developed to support wave energy device siting. Concern that wave energy devices may impact the seafloor and benthos has renewed research interest in the distribution of marine benthic invertebrates and factors...

Mooring observations from the Oregon continental shelf : April-September 1999 : a component of the prediction of wind-driven coastal circulation project

Creator:: Boyd, Timothy John, 1958-2013, Levine, Murray D., Kosro, P. Michael, and Gard, Steve R.
Abstract:: This report documents oceanographic and meteorological measurements made from instruments deployed on four moorings over the continental shelf west of Oregon, from spring through summer, 1999. These moorings were a component of an observational and numerical modeling program to study the response of the coastal ocean to wind forcing. The...
