The response on the continental shelf of a baroclinic ocean to
driving by an alongshore coastal wind stress and by barotropic and
baroclinic wind forced interior motions is studied as a function of
latitude. The relative excitation of continental shelf waves and
internal Kelvin waves is studied.
The response of...
Time series of coastal sea level during 1976–77, from 2°12′S to 17°S along the west coast of South America, show that low-frequency, ω < 0.25 cycles per day (cpd), fluctuations propagate poleward with the phase speed of baroclinic Kelvin waves (2–3 m s⁻¹). The alongshore coherence is highest in the...
The experimental procedure for reactively sputtering
films of silicon nitride together with the methods for
measuring the film thickness have been investigated.
Some of the properties of these nitride films were studied.
These properties included: infrared spectrum,
etching properties, and index of refraction. The adherence
of the films was also...
A Heath EUW-20A Servo-Recorder was converted to a self-balancing, recording Wheatstone bridge. The EUW-20A 10000Ω slide-wire was used as the variable resistance arm of the bridge, the
servo-amplifier was used as the bridge unbalance signal detector,
and the servo-motor was used to balance the bridge automatically.
The bridge was arranged...
Vacuum evaporated dielectrics for use in MOS structures
were studied in this research project. Dielectric
films were deposited on substrates by electron bombardment
evaporation of sapphire and quartz source materials.
These deposited films were studied using infrared spectroscopy,
index of refraction, density, and dielectric constant
measurements. Etching tests were also...
The land tenure system in the United States contains a variety
of tenure types. A major characteristic of this tenure system is the
continual change of tenure types within a given region. As these tenure
types change, problems of a cultural, economic, and legal nature
are created and interact with...
Plants can be identified by means of keys based on plant characteristics, frequently the flower. Keys enable the user to distinguish one species of plant from another. However, a single key to all flowering plants would be so cumbersome it would be impractical to use. Thus plant manuals ordinarily contain...
Pressed and dried plant specimens are useful as teaching aids and reference sources for plant identification, or as decorative material. Select plants to be mounted with care, prepare properly, and accompany by adequate, clearly expressed, written identification data. This publication suggests materials and methods for selecting and preparing plants for...
