The perturbation method is applied to solve two numerical
problems in the earth sciences, viz., (l)the computation of deep sea
currents in the coastal region of the northeast Pacific and (2) the
interpretation of D.C. conduction data in...

A multidisciplinary western Beaufort Sea Ecological Cruise
(WEBSEC) was conducted from August 15 to September 20, 1971.
During the cruise, one hundred ninety-nine 0.1 m² Smith-McIntyre
grabs samples were taken at forty stations located on the...

To assist in the assessment of the geothermal potential of north-central
California and to aid in defining the geologic transitions
between the physiographic provinces of the Klamath Range, the Cascade
Range, the Modoc Plateau, the Great Valley,...

The continental margin off southern Oregon, which includes the
shelf and slope from Cape Blanco to the Oregon-California border,
exhibits a distinctive marginal-plateau structural pattern which divides
the margin into the continental shelf, the...

Phytoplankton alter the absorption of solar radiation, affecting upper ocean temperature and circulation. These changes, in turn, influence the atmosphere through modification of the sea surface temperature (SST). To investigate the effects of the...

Airborne mineral dust can influence the climate by altering the radiative properties of the atmosphere, but the magnitude of the effect is uncertain. An idealized global model is developed to study the dust-climate system. The model determines the...

Internal tide generation, propagation, and dissipation are investigated in Luzon Strait, a system of two quasi-parallel ridges situated between Taiwan and the Philippines. Two profiling moorings deployed for about 20 days and a set of nineteen...

The long-term evolution of initially Gaussian eddies is studied in a reduced-gravity shallow-water model using both linear and nonlinear quasigeostrophic theory in an attempt to understand westward-propagating mesoscale eddies observed and tracked...

A 1-km-horizontal-resolution model based on the Regional Ocean Modeling System is implemented along the Oregon coast to study average characteristics and intermittency of the M₂ internal tide during summer upwelling. Wind-driven and tidally driven...

The study analyzes atmospheric circulation around an idealized coastal cape during summertime upwelling-favorable wind conditions simulated by a mesoscale coupled ocean–atmosphere model. The domain resembles an eastern ocean boundary with a single...

Mixing due to sheared salt fingers is studied by means of direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a double-diffusively unstable shear layer. The focus is on the “moderate shear” case, where shear is strong enough to produce Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH)...

[1] We report detailed thermal measurements undertaken during Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP)
Expeditions 315 and 316 along the Nankai Trough Seismogenic Zone Experiment (NanTroSEIZE) transect
offshore the Kii Peninsula, Japan. Geothermal...

Eddy detection and tracking algorithms are applied to both satellite altimetry and a
high‐resolution (dx = 5 km) climatological model solution of the U.S. West Coast to study
the properties of surface and undercurrent eddies in the California...

In this study we present 42 new ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar incremental heating age determinations that contribute to an
updated age progression for the Louisville seamount trail. Louisville is the South Pacific counterpart to the
Hawaiian‐Emperor seamount trail,...

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...

Solar radiation intensities, incident to the sea surface off the Oregon
coast, are measured and compared. Simplification of some physical
and biological problems can be anticipated if the average radiation
received over a broad segment of ocean...
