Google Earth has given internet users the power of a virtual globe at their fingertips. It is
a free, easy to use tool that avoids the need for technical training, and uses a simple,
intuitive interface. For this reason, Google Earth appeals to...

As part of an experiment to study wind-driven coastal circulation, 17 hydrographic
surveys of the middle to inner shelf region off the coast of Newport, OR (44.65°N, from
roughly the 90 m isobath to the 10 m isobath) were performed during Summer...
