Book excerpt: "This report covers the data collected as part of the LATEX A moored current meter task (Task A-1). Other data reports cover the other four LATEX A field components (Howard, 1997, for drifters; Jochens et al., 1997, for hydrography; Bender and Kelly, 1996, for ADCP; and Wang et al., 1996, for meteorology). The measurements of surface waves, which are part of the moored current meter task, are presented in DiMarco et al. (1995), DiMarco and Kelly (1995), and DiMarco (1996) and are not discussed in this report. All data have been submitted to the National Oceanographic Data Center (NODC); the LATEX A project number with NODC is 0212"--Introduction.

This book was released on 1991 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project was a component of the SEEP-II program. It contributed to the instrumentation of the SEEP-II moored array to the processing and analysis of the time-series data of water temperature and currents, and to a theoretical modeling study of the circulation on the continental margin. We are responsible for nearly half of the current meters and thermistor chains that were deployed in the SEEP-II moored array on the continental margin off the Delmarva peninsula. Data tapes derived from three deployments of the instruments in this array were processed. A second component of this project was a theoretical study of the interaction of the Gulf Stream with the continental margin north of Cape Hatteras. The model shows how the topographic influence on the local vorticity balance leads to back-folding filaments of Gulf Stream water and to the Slope Sea gyre circulation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characteristics of Hawaiian Volcanoes establishes a benchmark for the currrent understanding of volcanism in Hawaii, and the articles herein build upon the elegant and pioneering work of Dutton, Jagger, Steams, and many other USGS and academic scientists. Each chapter synthesizes the lessons learned about a specific aspect of volcanism in Hawaii, based largely o continuous observation of eruptive activity and on systematic research into volcanic and earthquake processes during HVO's first 100 years.

Download or read book Circulation Studies Over the Continental Shelf and Slope Near the Farallon Islands California Executive Summary written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of five hydrographic and acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) cruises were carried out during February, May, August, and November 1991 and February 1992 over the continental shelf and slope in the vicinity of the Farallon Islands, CA. The purpose of the five cruises was to describe the general circulation in the region throughout the year, particularly as it would affect the dispersal of dredged materials released in the study region. The approach during each cruise was to occupy a grid of closely spaced conductivity-temperature-depth (CTD) stations across the shelf and slope, while making continuous direct current observations using a hull-mounted acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP). (AN).

This book was released on 2008-06-05 with total page 880 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proliferation of harmful phytoplankton in marine ecosystems can cause massive fish kills, contaminate seafood with toxins, impact local and regional economies and dramatically affect ecological balance. Real-time observations are essential for effective short-term operational forecasting, but observation and modelling systems are still being developed. This volume provides guidance for developing real-time and near real-time sensing systems for observing and predicting plankton dynamics, including harmful algal blooms, in coastal waters. The underlying theory is explained and current trends in research and monitoring are discussed.Topics covered include: coastal ecosystems and dynamics of harmful algal blooms; theory and practical applications of in situ and remotely sensed optical detection of microalgal distributions and composition; theory and practical applications of in situ biological and chemical sensors for targeted species and toxin detection; integrated observing systems and platforms for detection; diagnostic and predictive modelling of ecosystems and harmful algal blooms, including data assimilation techniques; observational needs for the public and government; and future directions for research and operations.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CTD observations on the RN Wecoma cruise W8811 were made off the northern California coast November 13-24, 1988 as part of the .S.helf Mlxed Layer Experiment (SMILE). The survey consisted of repeated mappings of the central transect (C) through the SMILE moored array, and two synoptic sampling surveys-a large-scale grid of four cross-shelf transects extending to both sides ofPoint Arena and Point Reyes, and a small-scale grid of five cross-shelf transects located near the central SMILE mooring site. The small-scale hydrographic survey had a much higher spatial resolution of CTD stations than the large-scale survey. The primary objectives of the hydrographic measurement program were to observe and characterize the temperature, salinity, density, and light transmission fields and their temporal and spatial variability in the surface boundary layer along the continental shelf and slope near the SMILE moored array, and to acquire an estimate of the cross-shelf and along-shelf scales over which the mixed-layer depth varies. All of the cross-shelf transects extended beyond the shelf break and the maximum sampling depth at each station was near-bottom or 600 m. This report presents a summary in graphic and tabular form of the hydrographic observations made during cruise W8811 on the RN Wecoma.

This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 755 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CTD observations were made off the northern California coast during R/V Wecoma cruise W8902 February 22- March 10, 1989 as part of the Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE). The surveys consisted of three sampling plans- a large-scale grid of four cross-shelf transects extending to both sides of Point Arena and Point Reyes, a small-scale grid of five cross-shelf transects located near the central SMILE mooring site, and an expanded small-scale grid of nine cross-shelf transects. All of the cross-shelf transects extended beyond the shelf break and the maximum sampling depth at each station was near-bottom or 1000 m. The average along-shelf separation between cross-shelf transects was about 15 km for the small-scale surveys and 50 km for the large-scale grid. The primary objectives of the hydrographic measurement program were to observe and characterize the temperature, salinity, density, and light transmission fields and their temporal and spatial variability in the surface boundary layer along the continental shelf and slope near the SMILE moored array, and to acquire estimates of the cross- and along-shelf scales over which the mixed-layer depth varies. This report presents a summary in graphic and tabular form of the hydrographic observations made during cruise W8902 on the R/V Wecoma.
