Comment On The Peripheral Antarctic-Water Discharge, Arnold L. Gordon

Journal of Marine Research

No doubt the peripheral discharge around Antarctica tends to establish a westward coastal fl. ow and may slow the Antarctic Circumpolar Current significantly, as suggested by Barcilon (1966, 1967). It should be noted that this effect would have strong seasonal variations. Virtually all of the discharge is accomplished from midsummer to late summer....

Formation Of An Inertial Current On A Continental Shelf, P. P. Niiler, S. L. Spiegel

Journal of Marine Research

The simplest problem in the formation of an inertial stratified western-boundary current on a continental shelf is examined by numerical treatment of the three-dimensional conservation equations. An offshore countercurrent appears as the predominant feature of the flow.

Oceanic Leveling By A Vessel Crossing A Current, R. B. Montgomery

Journal of Marine Research

When a current is crossed by a vessel on fixed course at fixed speed, the vessel is displaced downstream. The displacement, D, is proportional to the current speed integrated across the width of the current and is inversely proportional to the vessel's speed....

The Kuroshio-Oyashio Front As A Compound Vortex Street, Richard A. Barkley

Journal of Marine Research

A concept presented in this paper can account for a wide variety of observed features in the Kuroshio-Oyashio front, just east of Japan. The concept, a synthetic description, consists of two von Kármán vortex streets arranged side by side; it is referred to as a compound vortex street. Von Kármán's kinematic theory is generalized to include all possible vortex-street arrays....

Vertical Mixing In Pelagic Sediments, Wolfgang H. Berger, G. Ross Heath

Journal of Marine Research

Vertical mixing in sed iments can be quantitatively described if it is assumed that: (i) upon deposition, detrital particles are mixed uniformly to a depth, m, below the sediment-water interface at a rate that is much faster than the sedimentation rate…

Measurement Of Volume Transport Of The Gulf Stream South Of New England, Bruce A. Warren, G. H. Volkmann

Journal of Marine Research

During June 1966, nine velocity measurements were made with neutrally buoyant floats at a depth of about 2500 m along a section crossing the Gulf Stream near 38° N, 69°W. In combination with hydrographic stations bracketing each float trajectory, these measurements yielded a volume transport of 101 × 106 m3/sec for the Stream as of that time and location

Instrument Far Measuring Terrestrial Heat Flow Through The Ocean Floor, Charles Corry, Carl Dubois, Victor Vacquier

Journal of Marine Research

Terrestrial heat flow through the ocean floor is determined by measuring the temperature gradient and thermal conductivity in the upper few meters of sediment with an instrument lowered on hydrographic wire. The chief novel feature of the device is that the thermal conductivity is measured in situ simultaneously with the temperature gradient instead of in a cored specimen of sediment in the laboratory.

The Structure And Development Of Rifted Midoceanic Rises, Tjeerd H. Van Andel

Journal of Marine Research

Midoceanic rises can be divided into two categories: rifted and nonrifted. Rifted rises are characterized by a median valley, high relief, a thick second layer, and the presence of metamorphic and deep intrusive rocks. Rifted rises are believed to have slow spreading rates of less than 2 cm/year....

Shallow Currents Along The Northeastern Coast Of South America, William G. Metcalf

Journal of Marine Research

It has generally been considered that the Guiana Current carries South Atlantic Central water in an uninterrupted flow along the northeastern coast of South America and then into the Caribbean Sea. Certain phenomena observed in the western tropical Atlantic and in the Caribbean indicate that the picture is not that simple....

A Demonstration Of Magnification Of Dynamic Topography At The Thermocline, D. J. Baker Jr.

Journal of Marine Research

Since the ocean is hydrostatic to a very good approximation, it is well known that dynamic topography at the surface (for example, across the Gulf Stream) is inverted and magnified at the thermocline by a factor proportional to the average density difference of the regions above and below the thermocline....

On The Eastward Flow Of Water In The Western Pacific South Of The Equator, François Jarrige

Journal of Marine Research

From December 1965 to August 1967, the R/V CORIOLIS of the Centre O.R.S.T.O.M. of Nouméa made nine cruises along 170°E, from 20°S to 4°N. The eastward component of the geostrophic current relative to 1000 db was calculated, and the results from all cruises indicate an eastward flow near 10°S....

Studies At Oyster Bay In Jamaica, West Indies. Iii. Measurements Of Underwater-Sunlight Spectra, H. H. Seliger, W. G. Fastie

Journal of Marine Research

Spectral distributions of ambient underwater sunlight in Oyster Bay, Falmouth Harbor, Jamaica, West Indies, have been measured during the diurnal rise in the stimulable bioluminescent intensity of the marine dinoflagellate, Pyrodinium bahamense. In addition to the changes in light intensity during this period, there are large changes in the relative spectral distributions, as functions of both time and depth in the Bay. The blue-to-red intensity ratios vary by factors of 10 to 100.

Effects Of Deep-Sea Stratification And Current On Edgewaves, Lawrence A. Mysak

Journal of Marine Research

The effects of deep-sea density stratification and longshore current on trapped edgewaves traveling over a sloping continental shelf that drops off vertically to deep water of constant depth are investigated. The stratification is idealized with a two-layer model, and the current is assumed to be confined to the deep-sea region and to the upper layer of fluid....

Autospectra Of Observed Particle Motions In Wind Waves, David H. Shonting

Journal of Marine Research

Autospectra of observed particle motions in ocean waves are presented. The spectra show the dominant peaks associated with the frequencies of the visually observed waves. Examination of the autospectra relative to depth reveals a strong attenuation of spectral energy, particularly at the higher frequencies; the peaks associated with the waves tend to redden the deeper the wave motions are observed....

Electrochemical Standardization Of The Dehydrogenase Assay Used In The Estimation Of Respiration Rates, Theodore T. Packard, Michael L. Healy

Journal of Marine Research

A primary coulometric titration is proposed as a standardization technique for the succinate dehydrogenase assay used in the estimation of respiration rates in marine plankton. The coulometric method, which is shown to be simple, accurate, and reproducible, eliminates the difficulties of using a chemical reducing agent. An alternative method using polarography is also discussed.

Paleogene Sediment From A Fracture Zone Of The Mid-Atlantic Ridge, Richard Cifelli, Walter H. Blow, William G. Melson

Journal of Marine Research

A dredge haul from a transverse fracture zone in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean yielded sediment of the Paleocene and the early Eocene ages. This sediment is the oldest thus far recorded from the Atlantic outside of the continental margins. Its occurrence is consistent with the view that transverse fracture zones are faults along which sea-floor spreading has taken place.

Davit For Handling Piston Corers, John C. Burke

Journal of Marine Research

Most core rigs over 15 feet (5 m) in length are cumbersome, awkward, and in bad weather somewhat dangerous to handle. On all Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution ships, coring is done over the side, using a hydraulically operated A-frame. In recent years, two methods have been used to transfer the core rig from its point of assembly to its 'down' position outboard, attached to the lowering cable....

Nitrate Reduction And The Occurrence Of A Deep Nitrite Maximum In The Ocean Off The West Coast Of South America, Manuel Fiadeiro, J. D.H. Strickland

Journal of Marine Research

Between 10°S and 23°S off the coast of Peru, at depths where the oxygen concentration is less than 0.2 ml/l, a pronounced secondary nitrite maximum is found; for the same or gr eater depth range, results indicate a loss of nitrate in the water column. It has been assumed that either nitrate reduction has taken place or there has been an arrested oxidation of organic nitrogen....

Seiche Motions For One-Dimensional Flow, D. J. Clarke

Journal of Marine Research

The linearized equations of motion for the case of one-dimensional flow are solved as a sequence of approximations for the modes of oscillation of a fluid in an enclosed basin by using Galerkin's method from the calculus of variations.
