Knowledge of cloud and precipitation formation processes remains
incomplete, yet global precipitation is predominantly produced by
clouds containing the ice phase. Ice first forms in clouds warmer
than −36 °C on particles termed ice nuclei. We...

A 5km swath-width SeaMARC I sidescan sonar survey, conducted over
the zone of overlap between the southern rift zone of Axial Volcano and the northern
tip of the Vance spreading segment on the Juan de Fuca Ridge (between 45°24'N
and 45°50'N...

This study investigated long-term (1961-2008) changes in albacore (Thunnus alalunga) abundance and distribution in relation to local environmental and large-scale climate indices in the Northeastern Pacific using time series and spatial analyses....

Age structure and growth of shells of the Pacific basket-cockle,
Clinocardium nuttallii in Netarts Bay, Oregon, were investigated with
special emphasis on the differences between subtidal and intertidal
populations. The cockle was chosen for study...

A new in situ fluorometer for the detection of oceanic photosynthetic pigment fluorescence is described.
Emission spectra from 546 to 733 nm are recorded for each of three different visible excitation bands ten
times a second. A Spectralon cell is...

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a shear layer with salt-fingering-favorable stratification have been
performed for different Richardson numbers Ri and density ratios R[subscript]p. In the absence of shear (Ri = oo), the
primary instability...

The spatial and temporal variability of inner-shelf circulation along the central Oregon coast during the
2004 upwelling season is described using a 70-km-long array of moorings along the 15-m isobath. Circulation
at three stations located onshore...

The event-scale variability of across-shelf transport was investigated using observations made in 15 m of
water on the central Oregon inner shelf. In a study area with intermittently upwelling-favorable winds and
significant density...

Recent work by S. Lentz et al. documents offshore transport in the inner shelf due to a wave-driven return
flow associated with the Hasselmann wave stress (the Stokes–Coriolis force). This analysis is extended using
observations from the central...

Month-long simulations using the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University–National Center for Atmospheric
Research Mesoscale Model (MM5) with a horizontal resolution of 9 km have been used to investigate
perturbations of topographically...

Internal tides on the continental shelf can be intermittent as a result of changing hydrographic conditions
associated with wind-driven upwelling. In turn, the internal tide can affect transports associated with upwelling.
To study these...

Results from a model of wind-driven circulation are analyzed to study spatial and temporal variability in
the bottom mixed layer (BML) on the mid-Oregon shelf in summer 2001. The model assimilates acoustic
Doppler profiler velocities from two...

A linearized baroclinic, spectral-in-time tidal inverse model has been developed for assimilation of surface currents from coast-based high-frequency (HF) radars. Representer functions obtained as a part of the generalized inverse solution show...

The subtidal salt balance and the mechanisms driving the downgradient salt flux in the Hudson River
estuary are investigated using measurements from a cross-channel mooring array of current meters, temperature
and conductivity sensors, and...
