Transport Pathways Of Polychlorinated Biphenyls In Atlantic Water, George R. Harvey, William G. Steinhauer

Journal of Marine Research

The distribution of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the surface waters of the Atlantic shows concentration maxima in latitudes of high net precipitation and a minimum in the midlatitudes. Very low PCB concentrations are found in the South Atlantic. Since the nonvolatile inorganic radionuclide distribution in the Atlantic shows no dependence on precipitation patterns, codistillation with evaporating water must be a major factor in determining the distribution of PCBs....

The Variance Spectrum Of Phytoplankton In A Turbulent Ocean, Kenneth L. Denman, Trevor Platt

Journal of Marine Research

Spatial heterogeneity of ecological variables is recognized as an important stabilizing factor for ecosystem function, but has proved to be a difficult concept to characterize in quantitative, operational terms. In the sea, however, chlorophyll concentration can be estimated by a continuous in vivo measurement, and used to describe the spatial structure of phytoplankton populations in terms of a variance spectrum in either wavenumber or frequency space....

Finite Amplitude Edge Waves, R. T. Guza, A. J. Bowen

Journal of Marine Research

Large amplitude edge waves are shown to be modified by nonlinear effects in a way very similar to surface waves in deep water (Stokes, 1847); trapped harmonics tend to sharpen the wave crests and the natural frequency increases with wave amplitude, progressive edge waves propagating faster at large amplitude. A standing edge wave exhibits additional properties due to interaction between its two constituent progressive waves....

A Pacific Tabulate Sponge, Living Representative Of A New Order Of Sclerosponges, Willard D. Hartman, Thomas F. Goreau

Postilla

A new sclerosponge, Acanthochaetetes wellsi, with a calcitic skeleton made up of contiguous vertical tabulate calicles ornamented within by vertical rows or irregular clumps of spines is described from cryptic habitats on reefs in the western Pacific region. A lamellar microstructure characterizes the calicle walls and spines. Increase in number of calicles occurs as intramural offsets. An epitheca with growth lines surrounds the entire sponge. Living tissue is restricted to the space in the calicles above the outermost tabulae and a thin layer lying above the calcareous skeleton. Siliceous spicules of two kinds, tylostyles and modified spirasters, are distributed in …

The Effect Of The Non-Ideal Composition Of Sea Water On Salinity And Density, Peter G. Brewer, Alvin Bradshaw

Journal of Marine Research

We have calculated the effect of the increased alkalinity, total carbon dioxide and silica content of deep ocean waters on the conductance-salinity-density relationship….

Secular Variability In The Large-Scale Baroclinic Transport Of The North Pacific From 1950–1970, Warren B. White

Journal of Marine Research

A time sequence of meridional baroclinic transport (0/1000 db) across the Subtropical gyre of the North Pacific is constructed, based upon available hydrographic data collected from 1950-1970. This time sequence displays significant variability, with a maximum possible range ± 25 % about the long-term mean and a principal time scale of approximately six years. A comparison of this time sequence with that of the Kuroshio (Nitani, 1972) shows good correlation in both amplitude and phase....

Zonation And Faunal Composition Of Epibenthic Populations On The Continental Slope South Of New England, Richard L. Haedrich, Gilbert T. Rowe, Pamela T. Polloni

Journal of Marine Research

The epibenthic macrofauna, including demersal fishes, between 140 and 1900 m on the continental slope south of New England was found to be distributed in three zones: shallow (141-285 m), middle (393-1095 m), and deep (1270-1928 m). Fauna! boundaries were associated with the transition zones from shelf to upper continental slope and from upper to lower continental slope. The small Alvin Canyon was not faunally distinct. Fishes and echinoderms were the most abundant taxa, the former predominant in shallow and middle depths and the latter predominating deeper....

Some Effects Of Bottom Topography On Baroclinic Stability, Roland A. De Szoeke

Journal of Marine Research

The effects of Fourier components of cross-stream topographic slope are included in the classical linear theory of quasigeostrophic baroclinic instability. The effect of uniformly sloping topography is reviewed, emphasis being placed on the possibility of destabilization through interaction between long topographic baroclinic Rossby waves and short thermal baroclinic Rossby waves with the same downstream wave number and phase speed....

Sediment - Animal - Water Interaction, Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, Egbert G. Driscoll

Journal of Marine Research

Four stations in the northwestern part of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, were monitored from October, 1971 to November, 1972. Nitrogen, non-carbonate carbon, total organics and carbonate of the sediment were examined. Dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature and pH of the bottom water were determined concurrently....

A Quasi-Lagrangian Study Of Mid-Ocean Variability Using Long Range Sofar Floats, T. Rossby, A. D. Voorhis, D. Webb

Journal of Marine Research

Twenty neutrally buoyant SOFAR floats were used in the Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (MODE) to study the structure and variability of the deep ocean currents. The floats were clustered so that the pattern of motions could be resolved (mapping and pattern recognition). A number of float trajectories are shown and the very individual character of their signature is emphasized. Some floats remain nearly stationary for a year whereas others will cover hundreds of kilometers to the south or west in just a few months....

Stabilization Of Atmospheric Circulation Patterns By Sea Surface Temperatures, Jerome Namias

Journal of Marine Research

Although the atmosphere and the underlying sea surface temperatures are usually well coupled so that quantitative specification of one medium by the other is quite successful, there are occasional periods when no such coupling exists. A case of this kind occurred during the cold months of 1957-58, when the atmosphere transitionally went off track, only to return later on to its original abnormal regime (negative height anomalies in the east central North Pacific). This paper describes the breakdown and restoration of the large scale coupling mechanism and poses a problem of major concern to those hoping to predict climatic fluctuations …

Specific Gravity And Density Of Seawater At Atmospheric Pressure, N. P. Fofonoff, H. Bryden

Journal of Marine Research

Four independent sets of specific gravity measurements are intercompared relative to a least squares polynomial in temperature and salinity over the range - 2 to 30°C and 8 to 40‰. Within this range, individual measurements have a standard deviation of 7.1 ppm about the regression polynomial. Over most of the range, the polynomial formula has a standard deviation of 1 to 3 ppm. The data sets are marginal in defining specific gravity below 0°C and above 25°C and inadequate below 10‰ salinity.

Flow Along The Continental Slope Off Washington, Autumn 1971, Glenn A. Cannon, Norman P. Laird, Theodore V. Ryan

Journal of Marine Research

Observations of the hydrographic regime across the continental shelf and offshore to depths exceeding 2000 rn were made in Autumn 1971 to investigate the possible extension of the California Undercurrent off the coast of Washington. Closely spaced stations, positioned by depth, were made to the bottom on each crossing of the continental slope. Geostrophic calculations relative to 1000 m and extending up the slope to shallower depths indicated a broad band of northward flow above the continental slope....
