Current and conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) measurements were made over the Oregon
shelf near 43°N between February 1981 and April 1984 as part of a large-scale west coast shelf experiment
(SuperCODE). The data set includes a nearly...

The optical properties of randomly oriented, spheroidal marine particles are
modeled using both numerical and analytical techniques. The optical properties
examined are attenuation, scattering, absorption and backscattering. The optical
properties...

Repeated mesoscale surveys of a 40-km-wide, 100-km-long, coastal region near Point Arena, California,
were conducted during the upwelling season (April-August) in 1981 and 1982. Each survey included
conventional conductivity-temperature-depth...

Current observations over the continental shelf at locations off central Oregon and southern Washington
had the period from July 18 to September 18, 1972, in common. Low-frequency fluctuations (less than
one cycle per day) in the currents are...

Near-inertial motions were observed at all current meters in an array of five moorings spanning the
continental margin off central Oregon during October 1977 to January 1978. All moorings were between
10 and 130 km from shore, in water depths...

Humankind has made more progress during the past 20 years in mapping the surface of neighboring planets than during the past 500 years in mapping the final frontier of Earth: the oceans. Indeed, we still know more about the dark side of the moon...

From July 7 to 11, 2008, the International Coastal Atlas Network
(ICAN) held a workshop on “Federated Atlases: Building on the
Interoperable Approach” at the headquarters of the European
Environment Agency (EEA) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The...

GIScience (geographic information science) is a scholarly discipline that addresses
fundamental issues surrounding the use of a variety of digital technologies to handle
geographic information; namely, information about places, activities, and...

The book "Ocean Globe" is about a new kind of exploration, one that draws upon the work of those who still go
to sea but can more readily share their discoveries with the “denizens of the desktop.” It is about new
ways of visualizing where more...

Beach response to overwash processes is a topic of significant importance. Two
particular aspects of this topic were chosen for detailed analysis: the distribution of
maximum wave runup elevations and the cross-beach celerity gradient of overwash...

Ship tracks have proven to be an ideal laboratory for studying the response of marine
stratocumulus to an increase in aerosol pollution. Here the response of already
polluted marine stratocumulus to further pollution was examined by studying the...

We show that death by dissolution is an important size-dependent mortality factor for juvenile bivalves.
Utilizing a new experimental design, we were able to replicate saturation states in sediments after values
frequently encountered by...

ABSTRACT: Sedimentary habitats are complex associations of biotic, chemical, and physical processes
comprising ‘ecosystem function’. The relative importance of these processes to biogeochemical
cycling in highly reactive, permeable sediments...

The Ocean Portable Hyperspectral Imager for Low-Light
Spectroscopy (Ocean PHILLS) is a hyperspectral imager specifically
designed for imaging the coastal ocean. It uses a thinned, backside-illuminated
CCD for high sensitivity and an all-reflective...

Tide-topography coupling is important for understanding surface-tide energy loss, the intermittency of internal tides, and the cascade of internal-tide energy from large to small scales. Although tide-topography coupling has been observed and...

Current projections of the oceanic response to anthropogenic climate forcings are uncertain. Two key sources of these uncertainties are (1) structural errors in current Earth system models and (2) imperfect knowledge of model parameters. Ocean...

Nitrogen (N) fixation by specialized microorganisms (diazotrophs) influences global plankton productivity because it provides the ocean with most of its bio-available N. However, its global rate and large-scale spatial distribution is still...
