On The Dynamics Of Equatorial Outflows With Application To The Amazon's Basin, Doron Nof Jan 1981

On The Dynamics Of Equatorial Outflows With Application To The Amazon's Basin, Doron Nof

Journal of Marine Research

A simplified model is considered in order to describe the dynamics of outflows of rivers or sea straits located at or near the equator. The model is steady, frictionless aod nondiffusive but the motions are not constrained to be quasigeostrophic. The geometry of the oceanic basin into which the outflow debouches is approximated by a wedge and the vertical structure of the flow is represented by two layers of different densities. Approximate solutions to the potential vorticity equation and the Bernoulli integral are obtained analytically....


Dispersion, Feeding Behavior And Competition In Two Spionid Polychaetes, Lisa Ann Levin Jan 1981

Dispersion, Feeding Behavior And Competition In Two Spionid Polychaetes, Lisa Ann Levin

Journal of Marine Research

Spatial analysis, laboratory and field experiments, and feeding observations indicate contrasting patterns of aggression in the polychaetes Pseudopolydora paucibranchiata (Okuda) and Streblospio benedicti (Webster) and provide the first evidence of territoriality in a spionid polychaete (Pseudopolydora)....


15n Tracer Studies Of The Primary Nitrite Maximum, Robert J. Olson Jan 1981

15n Tracer Studies Of The Primary Nitrite Maximum, Robert J. Olson

Journal of Marine Research

15N tracers were used in sub-tropical and Antarctic waters to study the production of nitrite from nitrate and ammonia, and the uptake of nitrate and ammonia. It was found that ammonia was the predominant source of nitrite in the primary nitrite maximum in sub-tropical waters and in the Ross Sea in summer, while nitrate and ammonia were both important in the Scotia Sea in early spring....


Differential Photoinhibition Of Marine Nitrifying Bacteria: A Possible Mechanism For The Formation Of The Primary Nitrite Maximum, Robert J. Olson Jan 1981

Differential Photoinhibition Of Marine Nitrifying Bacteria: A Possible Mechanism For The Formation Of The Primary Nitrite Maximum, Robert J. Olson

Journal of Marine Research

15N-tracer experiments using natural populations of marine nitrifying bacteria revealed photoinhibition of nitrite- and ammonia-oxidizing activity at light intensities less than 1% of sunlight. Nitrite oxidation was more sensitive to light than was ammonia oxidation. Calculations of biologically effective dose rates suggest that the depths at which ammonia oxidation exceeds nitrite oxidation are consistent with the depths of observed primary nitrite maxima in subtropical waters.


Variability Of The Flow Through The Strait Of Belle Isle, Christopher Garrett, Bechara Toulany Jan 1981

Variability Of The Flow Through The Strait Of Belle Isle, Christopher Garrett, Bechara Toulany

Journal of Marine Research

For periods between about two days and one month the surface flow through the Strait of Belle Isle, represented by the sea level difference across it, is highly coherent with the large scale atmospheric pressure gradient normal to the strait. This suggests that the flow is driven by a sea level difference between opposite ends of the strait induced by large scale winds....


Baroclinic Transport In The Gulf Of Alaska Part Ii. A Fresh Water Driven Coastal Current, Thomas C. Royer Jan 1981

Baroclinic Transport In The Gulf Of Alaska Part Ii. A Fresh Water Driven Coastal Current, Thomas C. Royer

Journal of Marine Research

A coastal geostrophic, baroclinic jet in the Gulf of Alaska is driven seasonally by fresh water discharge and winds. The narrow current (<20 km) has a mean transport of 0.24 × 106 m3 s-1 (relative to 100 db) and velocities in excess of 66 cm s-1. The jet reaches a maximum in autumn, coincident with maximum fresh water discharge along the coast....

Do Oceanic Zooplankton Aggregate At, Or Near, The Deep Chlorophyll Maximum?, Alan R. Longhurst, Alex W. Herman Jan 1981

Do Oceanic Zooplankton Aggregate At, Or Near, The Deep Chlorophyll Maximum?, Alan R. Longhurst, Alex W. Herman

Journal of Marine Research

Grazing pressure, varying with depth, must play a role in shaping the general form of the chlorophyll profile which often contains a deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM). Until we obtain enough coincident high-precision profiles of chlorophyll and grazing plankton (such as the BATFISH profiles, discussed below) it is difficult to be sure that this is so, though the problem is important enough to warrant an attempt, and several have been made....


Oceanic Co2 Increase In Baffin Bay, E. P. Jones, E. M. Levy Jan 1981

Oceanic Co2 Increase In Baffin Bay, E. P. Jones, E. M. Levy

Journal of Marine Research

Measurements of the total inorganic carbon in the water of Baffin Bay are interpreted to reflect increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide due to fossil fuel combustion. The increases are indicated by differences at various depths in the alkalinity and total inorganic carbon values after correction for calcium carbonate dissolution and decay of organic matter. These differences are comparable to the changes reported for GEOSECS Atlantic and Pacific Stations.


Nutrition And Food Limitation Of Deposit-Feeders. I. The Role Of Microbes In The Growth Of Mod Snails (Hydrobiidae), Jeffrey S. Levinton, Thomas S. Bianchi Jan 1981

Nutrition And Food Limitation Of Deposit-Feeders. I. The Role Of Microbes In The Growth Of Mod Snails (Hydrobiidae), Jeffrey S. Levinton, Thomas S. Bianchi

Journal of Marine Research

A series of laboratory microcosm experiments demonstrate that somatic growth of the deposit-feeding gastropod, Hydrobia totteni, is related strongly to microalgal standing stock. Microalgal standing stock is, in turn, determined by the relative rates of grazing and recovery....


Physical Origins Of Georges Bank Water, T. S. Hopkins, N. Garfield Iii Jan 1981

Physical Origins Of Georges Bank Water, T. S. Hopkins, N. Garfield Iii

Journal of Marine Research

The seasonal behavior of the Georges Bank Water mass is described from the context of the historic National Oceanographic Data Center file (1910-1978). The Georges Bank Water is defined as the water type most commonly found in the top 40 m of water within the 65 m isobath. Plots of its distribution show it unique within the Georges Bank/Gulf of Maine region....


Simulation Of A Storm Event In Marine Microcosms, Candance A. Oviatt, Carlton D. Hunt, Gabriel A. Vargo, Kevin W. Kopchynski Jan 1981

Simulation Of A Storm Event In Marine Microcosms, Candance A. Oviatt, Carlton D. Hunt, Gabriel A. Vargo, Kevin W. Kopchynski

Journal of Marine Research

A storm of moderate intensity and lasting for 14 hours was simulated in three of the Marine Ecosystems Research Laboratory (MERL) microcosms by increasing the intensity of microcosm mixing. The simulation resuspended ~0.3 cm of sediment and increased suspended particulate loads by 2 orders of magnitude. Concurrently, the concentrations of metals and nutrients increased in the water column....
