Spectral Dissipation Of Finite-Depth Gravity Waves Due To Turbulent Bottom Friction, Klaus Hasselmann, J. I. Collins

Journal of Marine Research

The spectral dissipation of finite-depth random gravity waves is evaluated for a given empirical relationship between the local bottom stress and the wave field. The dissipation is quasilinear. Computations for a quadratic friction law yield satisfactory agreement with wave measurements at two stations in the Gulf of Mexico.

The International Oceanographic Tables, L. R.A. Capurro, W. D. Nowlin Jr.

Tables I and II of the series International Oceanographic Tables have been in print for longer than a year. The oceanographic community is indebted to members of the Joint Panel on Oceanographic Tables and Standards (JPOTS), particularly to its chairman, Roland A. Cox, and to others, for the work represented by these tables.

Seasonal Sequence Of Bioluminescence And The Occurrence Of Endogenous Rhythms In Oceanic Waters Off Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Charles S. Yentsch, J. C. Laird

Journal of Marine Research

Seasonal sequences of bioluminescense in waters around Woods Hole were measured in 1961 to 1963. Peak activities occurred in October-November (once) and in April-May (twice). Bioluminescense at night is usually quantitatively greater than during the day. Greater differences during summer correlate with the seasonal maximum in solar radiation....

Revision Of Neofibularia (Porifera, Demospongiae), A Genus Of Toxic Sponges From The West Indies And Australia, Willard D. Hartman

Postilla

A revision of the sponge genus Neofibularia, known for its dermatitis-producing qualities, is presented on the basis of a restudy of holotypic specimens. Carter's species Fibularia massa is regarded as a synonym of N. nolitangere (Duch. &. Mich.), the only species known from western tropical Atlantic waters. A new subspecies of N. nolitangere, with oxeate megascleres, is described as well as a new species, N. mordens, from South Australia. The relationship of Neofibularia to Biemna is discussed.

Functional Morphology Of The Masticatory Apparatus Of Two Dicynodonts (Reptilia, Therapsida), A. W. Crompton, Nicholas Hotton Iii

Postilla

The specialized masticatory apparatus of Permo-Triassic dicynodonts (herbivorous mammal-like reptiles) is described and its function analysed by comparison of an archaic dicynodont, the pristerodont Emydops, with the advanced dicynodont Lystrosaurus. A unique feature of the dicynodont masticatory apparatus was the fact that the jaw joint consisted of two convex articulating surfaces which permitted free anteroposterior movement. Food was broken up during retraction—protraction serving merely to move the jaw forward for another retractive stroke. True propalinal action did not occur. Food was comminuted by shearing; grinding or crushing was not an integral part of the masticatory cycle. In Emydops, cutting took …

Environmental Factors Influencing The Distribution Of Barbatia Domingensis (Mollusca, Bivalvia) On The Bermuda Platform, Sara S. Bretsky

Postilla

Eight localities, representing four generalized environments, were sampled to determine the environmental relations of the small, byssally attached arcid bivalve Barbalia (Acar) domingensis on the Bermuda Platform. The species was most abundant in turbulent environments and least abundant in the protected bays and sounds. It usually attaches to the underside of corals; occasionally it is found attached to rocks. The principal limiting factor on the distribution of the species appears to be the availability of suitable coral substrata for attachment.

A New Genus And Species Of Marine Dipnoan Fish, From The Upper Devonian Of Canada, Keith Stewart Thomson

Further Investigation Of The Influence Of The Peripheral Antarctic Water Discharge On The Circumpolar Current, Victor Barcilon

Journal of Marine Research

One- and two-layer models of the Antarctic Ocean are examined. Both the peripheral discharge (caused by melting and ablation) and the surface wind stress (due to an easterly wind system) are taken into account. It is shown that these two driving mechanisms partially counteract each other. As a result, the net zonal transport is smaller than that in the case of purely wind driving.

Inertial Oscillations In An Ekman Layer Containing A Horizontal Discontinuity Surface, Joseph P. Pandolfo, Philip S. Brown Jr.

Journal of Marine Research

Solutions are obtained for systems of equations that determine the development of velocity profiles in an infinitely deep fluid system subjected to Coriolis accelerations and composed of two layers of viscous fluid differing in density, viscosity, and geostrophic velocity. The density, viscosity, and horizontal pressure gradient are assumed to remain constant in space and time within each layer and to differ discontinuously at the horizontal interface between the layers....

Tsunami Response For Islands: Verification Of A Numerical Procedure, A. C. Vastano, R. O. Reid

Journal of Marine Research

A numerical integration procedure is employed to evaluate the response of the water level in the near fi eld of an island due to the incidence of plane monochromatic gravity waves that have periods in the tsunami range. Verification of the numerical procedure is restricted to two axially symmetric islands for which analytical solutions are available. The first case is that of a vertical cylinder of circular cross section in water of constant depth....

On The Wave-Induced Difference In Mean Sea Level Between The Two Sides Of A Submerged Breakwater, M. S. Longuet-Higgins

Journal of Marine Research

Very simple formulae are derived for the difference in mean level between the two sides of a submerged breakwater when waves are incident on it at an arbitrary angle. The formulae apply also to waves undergoing refraction due to changes in depth and to waves in open channel transitions.

A Harmonic Method For Predicting Shallow-Water Tides, Bernard D. Zetler, Robert A. Cummings

Journal of Marine Research

The development of an objective technique for identifying significant hidden frequencies in the spectrum makes it possible to accurately predict shallow-water tides by harmonic methods. For Anchorage, Alaska, the 114 constituents used include frequencies in every species (cycles per day) from 0 to 12. The larger set of constituents improved the predictions in times of high and low waters, range of tide, and shape of curve. The stationary characteristics of some of the added constituents have been tested with three years of Philadelphia data.

A Characterization Of The Gulf Of Mexico Waters In Winter, W. D. Nowlin Jr., H. J. Mclellan

Journal of Marine Research

The results of a rapid survey of the Gulf of Mexico in the winter of 1962 are presented. Variations in the characteristics of the water in several core layers are described. Circulation has been examined on the basis of dynamic computations and G.E.K. measurements. In the eastern Gulf, water enters through Yucatan Strait and leaves through Florida Strait, flowing in an anticyclonic loop that extends well into the Gulf....

The Wave-Drift Current, John A.T. Bye

Journal of Marine Research

The irrotational wave-drift current associated with the one-dimensional eq uilibrium wave spectrum is calculated, and by comparison with observation, it is shown that in many situations this current may make an important contribution to surface-drift velocities. One of the interesting features of the irrotational current profile is a remarkable affinity to the logarithmic profile of similarity theory, both formally and quantitatively.

Further Observations On The Secondary Nitrite Maximum In The Northern Equatorial Pacific, Warren S. Wooster

Journal of Marine Research

The secondary nitrite maximum was observed in May 1965 at nine stations south of the boundary between the western extension of the California Current and the Nor th Equatorial Current. A ssociation of high nitrite concentrations with low dissolved-oxygen concentrations and high salinity in the Equatorial Pacific salinity maximum suggests that the northern boundary of the secondary nitrite maximum is related to the northern limit of penetration by Equatorial Pacific water.

The Determination Of Urea In Seawater, B. S. Newell, B. Morgan, Jane Cundy

Journal of Marine Research

A clinical method for the determination of urea in blood and urine (Beale and Croft 1961) has been modified for the determination of smaller quantities of urea (1-20 µg N/l) in seawater.

Thermostad, The Antonym Of Thermocline, R. C. Seitz

Journal of Marine Research

In standard oceanographic usage the suffix "-cline" denotes a layer in which there is a relatively large vertical gradient of the given property. However, oceanographers have no term available to denote the contrasting feature: a layer of water in which there is a relative minimum of the absolute value of the vertical gradient....

Measurements Of Particle Motions In Ocean Waves, David H. Shonting

Journal of Marine Research

Ducted impeller wave meters used aboard a light station to observe particle motions in wind waves at various depths beneath the free surface are described. The motions recorded display quasisinusoidal oscillations having an approximate 90° phase shift between the horizontal and vertical velocity components that lie normal to the wave crests....

Damping Of Capillary Waves At The Air-Sea Interface By Oceanic Surface-Active Material, W. D. Garrett

Journal of Marine Research

The damping rates of capillary waves (wavelength = 0.52 cm) were measured on fresh seawater sampled under various oceanographic conditions. The collected water con tained varying quantities of surface-active organic materials capable of adsorbing at the air-water interface and altering the sea-surface properties....

Concentration And State Of Cerium In Coastal Waters, James H. Carpenter, Virginia E. Grant

Journal of Marine Research

The cerium contents of several coastal water samples were found to be 0.1 to 0.6 µg/l. These are in contrast to the cerium concentrations of 0.004 and 0.014 µg/l observed in samples taken near Bermuda….

A New Method Of Measuring Coastal Surface Currents With Markers And Dyes Dropped From An Aircraft, J. G. Welsh

Journal of Marine Research

This paper describes a new low-cost method of measuring coastal surface currents with markers dropped from a light aircraft at each of a series of stations. Each marker consists of a cloth bag containing floats and a different dye. One marker, with anchor attached, remains stationary while a second marker, with drogue attached, moves with the current. The specific dye with each marker disperses slowly and contjnuously through the cloth into the water and aids in the subsequent location of each marker....
