The Effect Of Pressure On The Electrical Conductivity Of Sea-Water, B. V. Hamon Jan 1958

The Effect Of Pressure On The Electrical Conductivity Of Sea-Water, B. V. Hamon

Journal of Marine Research

Values of the pressure coefficient of electrical conductivity of sea-water (cblorinity 19.7‰) at different temperatures are presented. The pressure coefficients vary from 1.50 × 10-5 decibar-1 at 0.5°C to 0.82 × 10-5 decibar-1 at 19.5°C. The accuracy is estimated to be ±5%. The results have been confirmed by tests at sea.


Profiles Of Wind-Created Water Waves In The Capillary-Gravity Transition Region, Allen H. Schooley Jan 1958

Profiles Of Wind-Created Water Waves In The Capillary-Gravity Transition Region, Allen H. Schooley

Journal of Marine Research

Crapper (1957) has theoretically predicted that pure capillary waves have profiles that peak downward, which is the reverse of the gravity wave case. This paper confirms Crapper's theory and shows enlarged profiles of capillary waves that were photographed with a high-speed motion picture camera in a small water-wind tunnel. Under the conditions of measurements, the maximum vertical distance between trough and crest for the capillary waves observed was about 0.5 wavelength....


Trace Elements In The Pelagic Coelenterate, Velella Lata, Robert Bieri, David H. Krinsley Jan 1958

Trace Elements In The Pelagic Coelenterate, Velella Lata, Robert Bieri, David H. Krinsley

Journal of Marine Research

Twelve elements (Cu, Ni, Mn, Ti, Si, Cr, Sr, V, Ba, Ag, Pb, and Mo), not previously reported from the genus Velella, were found in the ash of V. lata; zirconium was also searched for but was not found. Cu, Ni, Mn, Ti, Mg, Ca, and Al were determined quantitatively. The concentration of trace elements in the whole animal and in five different tissues of V. lata was determined in specimens ranging from 14.4 to 84.6 mm in length. The Mg:Ca ratio in Velella is lower than that in sea water but. higher than that in Scyphozoa. Presumably this is …


Factors, Mainly Depth And Wavelength, Affecting The Degree Of Underwater Light Polarization, Alexandre Ivanoff, Talbot H. Waterman Jan 1958

Factors, Mainly Depth And Wavelength, Affecting The Degree Of Underwater Light Polarization, Alexandre Ivanoff, Talbot H. Waterman

Journal of Marine Research

Field and laboratory comparisons of visual, photographic and photoelectric methods of measuring linear polarization of underwater light demonstrate that satisfactory agreement may be obtained between their results. While laboratory data match closely, several uncontrollable factors, especially changes in cloudiness, increase the variance of field measurements. Of the three, the photoelectric polarimeter lends itself best to the study of degree of polarization in the horizontal plane at various depths....


Description Of A Prototype Gauge To Measure Magnitude And Direction Of Hydrowire Slope In Situ Between Reversing Bottles At All Depths And Under All Conditions Of Ship Drift, J. N. Carruthers Jan 1958

Description Of A Prototype Gauge To Measure Magnitude And Direction Of Hydrowire Slope In Situ Between Reversing Bottles At All Depths And Under All Conditions Of Ship Drift, J. N. Carruthers

Journal of Marine Research

The discovery in recent years of vast deep oceanic currents running in a direction contrary to those at the surface provides additional evidence of our need for instrumental means to obtain accurate data on subsurface waters, particularly in little-known oceanic areas where pioneer lowerings are to be made. A description is given of a prototype messenger-operated wire-angle gauge which, used intermediately between reversing bottles, can furnish information on the direction of slope of the hydrowire and its actual degree of obliquity at a number of points. It is only the latter, of course, which can be computed from results obtained …


Vertical Distribution Of Wind Speed, Temperature And Humidity Above A Water Surface, R. G. Fleagle, J. W. Deardorff, F. I. Badgley Jan 1958

Vertical Distribution Of Wind Speed, Temperature And Humidity Above A Water Surface, R. G. Fleagle, J. W. Deardorff, F. I. Badgley

Journal of Marine Research

An observational program is described which has been used to obtain an accurate determination of vertical profiles of wind speed, temperature, and vapor pressure over a salt water inlet with an over-water air fetch of about five miles. The wind profiles show systematic anomalies of 1 or 2 %, which are not explainable as instrumental or observational error. The curvature of wind profiles over water shows the same dependence on Richardson number as that found by others over land. Temperature profiles are similar in this respect, but curvature of the vapor pressure profiles shows little dependence on stability. Values of …


Notes Concerning The Halocline In The Northeastern Pacific Ocean, Richard H. Fleming Jan 1958

Notes Concerning The Halocline In The Northeastern Pacific Ocean, Richard H. Fleming

Journal of Marine Research

The quasi-isothermal halocline between depths of about 100 and 200 m is a striking feature of the temperature-salinity characteristics in the northeaatem Pacific, north of about 40° N. An hypothesis is offered to explain the origin of this feature in terms of circulation, dilution, and winter mixing.


The (Ethylenedinitrilo) Tetraacetate Titration Of Calcium And Magnesium In Ocean Waters, John B. Pate, Rex J. Robinson Jan 1958

The (Ethylenedinitrilo) Tetraacetate Titration Of Calcium And Magnesium In Ocean Waters, John B. Pate, Rex J. Robinson

Journal of Marine Research

Various factors influencing the determination of calcium in ocean water by (ethylenedinitrilo)tetre.e.cetate titration have been investigated. Using Cal-Red as indicator, the method has been applied in titrating 36 ocean samples. A calcium-chlorinity ratio of 0.02134 was obtained. The speed, preciseness, accuracy and simplicity of the method should encourage its future use.


The Equations Of Mass Continuity And Salt Continuity In Estuaries, Donald W. Pritchard Jan 1958

The Equations Of Mass Continuity And Salt Continuity In Estuaries, Donald W. Pritchard

Journal of Marine Research

Equations of mass (or volume) continuity and salt continuity are developed for the two- and one-dimensional estuary from the basic forms of these equations in three dimensions. The three cases of vertical, lateral, and sectional homogeneity are treated. Some misuses of the continuity concepts as applied to estuaries have appeared in recent literature. These are discussed. The effect of phase difference between tidal slack water and high tide on the nontidal drift in sectionally homogeneous estuaries is presented.


The Influence Of The Continental Shelf On The Tides Of The Atlantic Coast Of The United States, Alfred C. Redfield Jan 1958

The Influence Of The Continental Shelf On The Tides Of The Atlantic Coast Of The United States, Alfred C. Redfield

Journal of Marine Research

Examination is made of the hypothesis that the tide along the eastern coast of the United States results from a co-oscillation of water over the Continental Shelf engendered by motion at the continental slope, the barrier against which the oceanic tidal wave is reflected . Using methods which are effective in analyzing tides in embayments, the range of tide and the time of high water over the continental slope have been estimated from data on the tide at the coast and from the topography of the off-lying shelf....

A Note On Tidal Friction, Gordon Groves, Walter Munk Jan 1958

A Note On Tidal Friction, Gordon Groves, Walter Munk

Journal of Marine Research

The Moon's gravitational torque on the ocean tide has been computed on the basis of Dietrich's cotidal charts. The result is -4.5 × 1023 dynes cm as compared to Heiskanen's (1921) value of -2.9 × 1023 dynes cm based on Sterneck's (1920) charts. Both values are subject to great uncertainty. The observed deceleration of the Moon implies a torque of (-3.9 ± 1.0) × 1023 dyne cm, which is consistent with both foregoing calculations. It is concluded that the deceleration of the Moon's orbital motion and the associated deceleration of the Earth's rotation may be due to oceanic tidal dissipation....


On The Reliability Of Field Measurements Of Temperature And Salinity In The Ocean, Warren S. Wooster, Bruce A. Taft Jan 1958

On The Reliability Of Field Measurements Of Temperature And Salinity In The Ocean, Warren S. Wooster, Bruce A. Taft

Journal of Marine Research

In order to evaluate the reliability of recent field measurements of temperature and salinity we have followed the behavior of certa in pairs of reversing thermometers through many reversals and have examined the distribution of closely spaced measurements of temperature and salinity at intermediate depths. The errors of measurement are comparable to those of the classical expeditions and are small with respect to sampling and other errors in the upper layers of the ocean. The effect of measurement errors on computed values of specific volume anomaly, of geopotential anomaly, and of geostrophic current speed was examined.

Measurements Of Slopes Of High-Frequency Wind Waves; Comments On Dr. Cox's Paper, Charles S. Cox Jan 1958

Measurements Of Slopes Of High-Frequency Wind Waves; Comments On Dr. Cox's Paper, Charles S. Cox

Journal of Marine Research

Water-surface slopes due to wind waves have been measured in a laboratory windwave tunnel. In all measurements, nonlinear effects are important for highfrequency wind waves; nonlinear effects noted are: increase of phase velocity due to finite amplitude of gravity waves, trapping of ripples on the leading slope of gravity wavelets, and limitation of slopes after the explosive growth of waves beyond a critical fetch....

Some Considerations Of Oxygen Utilization Rates In Puget Sound, Clifford A. Barnes, Eugene E. Collias Jan 1958

Some Considerations Of Oxygen Utilization Rates In Puget Sound, Clifford A. Barnes, Eugene E. Collias

Journal of Marine Research

Concentrationa of dissolved oxygen in tributary basins of the fjord-like Puget Sound region (Washington) have been determined during monthly surveys of water characteristics. By selecting periods when a consideration of conaervative properties suggests that the effects of advection and diffusion are small, the local rates of change in oxygen concentration have been determined; it is assumed that these rates approximate the utilization or consumption rates....

Soluble iron, defined as the amount of the element found in a unit volume of millipore-filtered sea water, after oxidation of organic matter, has been determined on samples collected in insh!Jre waters of the State of Washington. After filtration the samples were oxidized. The particulate matter and its iron content were also determined. Bathophenanthrolene was the reagent used....


Elliptical Polarization Of Submarine Illumination, Alexandre Ivanoff, Talbot H. Waterman Jan 1958

Elliptical Polarization Of Submarine Illumination, Alexandre Ivanoff, Talbot H. Waterman

Journal of Marine Research

Field and laboratory measurements have been made to extend our understanding of submarine elliptically polarized light, which occurs in lines of sight just beyond the critical angle. It is not detectable in bearings of the sun or anti-sun, is strongest within a few centimeters of the surface, is more easily observed with large solar zenith distances, and is not affected by light entering the water at the surface in the line of sight....


Inorganic Suspended Matter In Sea Water, Francis A.J. Armstrong Jan 1958

Inorganic Suspended Matter In Sea Water, Francis A.J. Armstrong

Journal of Marine Research

The suspended matter in sea water has been separated with membrane filters· (down to 0.1 µ A.P.D.); the inorganic fraction, determined by ignition, has been partly analysed. The methods used are briefly described. An appreciable quantity of finely divided claylike material was found, and it is suggested that, by adsorption of organic matter from the water, this may support the bacterial flora. Samples taken regularly from the English Channel show a seasonal variation...


The Annual Cycle Of Phosphorus And Nitrogen In New England Coastal Waters, Bostwick H. Ketchum, Ralph F. Vaccaro, Nathaniel Corwin Jan 1958

The Annual Cycle Of Phosphorus And Nitrogen In New England Coastal Waters, Bostwick H. Ketchum, Ralph F. Vaccaro, Nathaniel Corwin

Journal of Marine Research

Distributions of phosphorus and nitrogen in New England coastal waters at various times of year are described. In surface waters the nitrate-nitrogen content is sometimes completely exhausted, even though small concentrations (0.2-0.5µg-at/l) of phosphorus are always available. The ratio of concentrations by atoms, N:P, varies in surface waters from maximum values of about 10: 1 to values approaching zero as the nitrate is exhausted....


Sir C. Wyville Thomson's Letters To Staff-Commander Thomas H. Tizard, 1877-1881, Daniel Merriman, Mary Merriman Jan 1958

Sir C. Wyville Thomson's Letters To Staff-Commander Thomas H. Tizard, 1877-1881, Daniel Merriman, Mary Merriman

Journal of Marine Research

These original letters from Thomson to Tizard are concerned with the publication of the results of the CHALLENGER Expedition, as well as the study of the Faroe Channel and the eventual delineation of the Wyville Thomson Ridge with its diversity of "cold and warm area" bottom fauna. They also provide evidence of Thomson's indefatigability as well as certain historical sidelights.

Physical and chemical characteristics of Neroutsos Inlet, British Columbia, in August 1957 are described. Moderately deep, 11 nautical miles long by 0.5 to 1 mile wide, it has been subjected to a prolonged period of waste disposal from a sulphite pulp mill near its head. The mill effluent is discharged on the surface at the shore and is largely confined to a thin surface layer about 5 m deep....


Diurnal Study Of Phytoplankton Pigments: An In Situ Study In East Sound, Washington, Charles S. Yentsch, Robert F. Scagel Jan 1958

Diurnal Study Of Phytoplankton Pigments: An In Situ Study In East Sound, Washington, Charles S. Yentsch, Robert F. Scagel

Journal of Marine Research

The effect of light intensity on the quantities of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments in a natural marine diatom community has been observed. Marked daily fluctuations in the quantities of these pigments, which showed highest concentrations around mid-day and at night, resulted from changes in quantities within the cells. Rates of synthesis and decomposition throughout the day have been computed. Highest cellular concentrations of chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments corresponded to optimal light intensities for photosynthesis....
