The Late Cretaceous Coleoid Cephalopod Actinosepia Canadensis Whiteaves, Karl M. Waage

Postilla

Eighteen new specimens and seven of eight previously reported specimens of the coleoid fossil Actinosepia canadensis Whiteaves provide data for redescription and interpretation. The monotypic genus is known only from Late Campanian and Maastrichtian strata in the northern Great Plains region of the United States and Canada. Its gross morphology and shell structure require its inclusion in the teuthidid family Trachyteuthidae, but also suggest relationship, possibly ancestral, to the sepiids.

Notes On The Theory Of The Thermocline, Robert Blandford

Journal of Marine Research

This paper presents an exact analytical solution in closed form for a steady, laminar model of the oceanic thermocline. The model includes vertical diffusion and horizontal and vertical convection of heat. The solution satisfies boundary conditions that are in fair agreement with observation over the range of latitude 10° to 45°. The behavior of the solution is given as a function of the imposed temperature and vertical velocity component at the bottom of the Ekman layer....

The Activity Coefficient Of Sodium Chloride In Seawater, R. F. Platford

Journal of Marine Research

Using a sodium amalgam and silver-silver chloride electrode pair, the mean activity coefficient of sodium chloride in synthetic seawater has been compared with that in pure sodium chloride solutions. Effects of concentration and temperature were measured. The mean activity coefficient in synthetic seawater was found to be slightly higher than in a sodium chloride solution of the same ionic strength. No explanation for this is offered.

An Experimental Study Of The P-V-T-S Relations Of Seawater, Mark S. Newton, George C. Kennedy

Journal of Marine Research

The compressibility of seawater has been determined as a function of salinity, pressure, and temperature. Specific volumes have been computed. The salinities, as measured on a University of Washington-type conductivity bridge, were 0.00, 30.52, 34.99, and 41.03‰. The pressure range was from r to r 300 bars and the temperature range from 0°C to 25°C. The experiments were carried out by measuring decrements of volume at 100-bar intervals spaced in 5° isotherms....

A Technique For The Direct Measurement Of Transport With Application To The Straits Of Florida, William S. Richardson, William J. Schmitz Jr.

Journal of Marine Research

A method is described by which the volume transport per unit width of a water column is obtained from measurements of the run time, depth, and horizontal d efl ection of a freely falling instrument. Measurements of the north-south component of transport in the Straits of Florida using this technique gave 35.5 ± 1.2 x 106 m3/sec on August 16 and 17, 1964. The surface currents and east-west components of transport are also given.

Use Of The Goldberg Refractometer As A Salinometer For Biological And Geological Field Work, E. William Behrens

Journal of Marine Research

The Goldberg Refractometer (American Optical Co., model 10402) has been tested as a potential field salinometer. The instrument has a range of 0 to 220‰ and an accuracy of about one ppt. Although it is inaccurate relative to titration and conductimetric salinometers, the Refractometer has the advantages of temperature compensation, small size, small sample requirements, large range, and low cost.

A Technique For Measuring Deep Ocean Currents Close To The Bottom With An Unattached Current Meter, And Some Preliminary Results, John A. Knauss

Journal of Marine Research

A new system for measuring deep ocean currents close to the bottom is described. The device is moored in suspension with a float. Four sets of measurements, totaling 75.8 hours, were made at depths down to 5337 m. For one 16-hour period, a steady current of 17 cm/sec was recorded 3.5 m from the bottom at 5192 m. One measurement at 3584 m, 60 miles northeast of Cape Hatteras, indicates that the Gulf Stream extended to the bottom in this region .

Oceanographic Implications Of Radioactive Fall-Out Distributions In The Atlantic Ocean: From 20°N To 25°S, From 1957 To 1961, Vaughan T. Bowen, Thomas T. Sugihara

Journal of Marine Research

The patterns of Sr90 distribution in the equatorial Atlantic are described for the years 1957, 1958, 1960, and 1961. Evidence is drawn from analysis of surface samples and of vertical profiles. The concentration distributions bear no resemblance to patterns of fall-out delivery on land; it is concluded that hydrographic processes are responsible for seawater concentration patterns. The data provide evidence for two otherwise unobserved, high fallout incidents over the Atlantic Ocean....

Measurements Of The Electrical Conductivity Of Seawater, William S. Reeburgh

Journal of Marine Research

Measurements of the absolute specific conductance of solutions prepared from a sample of Red Sea water are described. Conductivity was measured at 2°C temperature intervals from - 1°C to 35°C and at 1‰ chlorinity intervals from 16‰ to 22‰. Precision of individual measurements was 0.001 millimho/cm in conductivity, 0.002‰ in chlorinity; and 0.001°C in temperature.

Journal of Marine Research

A subsurface acoustic reflection study has been carried out in the Gulf of Paria with an Edo UQN Echo-sounder and a Precision Graphic Recorder of The Alden Electronics and Impulse Recording Equipment Co., Inc. Using a very short ping length for maximum resolution, penetration below the bottom in excess of 0.03 sec (45 m) was commonly obtained in water depths up to 100 m....

A Portable Hydraulic Diver-Operated Dredge-Sieve For Sampling Subtidal Macrofauna, C. Everett Brett

Journal of Marine Research

The dredge-sieve is a diver-operated device for sampling macrofauna of the marine benthos. Although it was constructed to sample infauna, it is effective in procuring softbottom epifauna as well. It is an adaptation of the "gold sucker" (made commercially for SCUBA divers), which sucks up bottom material through a large L-shaped tube. Suction is created according to the aspirator principle, with a jet of water injected from a powered pump and hose....

Topography And Lithology Of The Mendocino Ridge, D. C. Krause, H. W. Menard, S. M. Smith

Journal of Marine Research

Twenty-two slope-corrected bathymetric profiles of the Mendocino Ridge between 125°W and 129°W are presented, and the method of their development is discussed. The crest of this Ridge lies at an average depth of 2000 m, falling off to 3200 m on the north and to 4400 m on the south. A short, steep scarp, fresh dredge-haul material lacking manganiferous crusts, and earthquake epicenters suggest recent faulting on the north....
