A New Species Of Clathriid Sponge From The San Juan Archipelago, Tracy L. Simpson Nov 1966

A New Species Of Clathriid Sponge From The San Juan Archipelago, Tracy L. Simpson

Postilla

In the course of investigating the cytology of clathriid sponges a new species from the San Juan Archipelago, Washington, has been found. On the basis of skeletal and field characteristics this form appears to be identical to chela-containing sponges described by de Laubenfels (1927) from California as variants of Ophlitaspongia pennata (Lambe, 1894). Cytological evidence reviewed here (see Simpson, in press, for detailed discussion) establishes that the chela-bearing sponges are not conspecific with O. pennata.

Automated Analysis Of Amino Sugars Using The Elson-Morgan Reaction, Lee Van Lenten May 1966

Automated Analysis Of Amino Sugars Using The Elson-Morgan Reaction, Lee Van Lenten

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

A combined chromatographic and analytical system is described for the specific determination of amino sugars. An adaptation of the Elson-Morgan reaction has been made using the equipment of the Technicon AutoAnalyzer. The colorimetric procedure is based partly on the work of Lewy and McAllan . The Elson-Morgan reaction is a two-stage reaction which involves first the reaction of the amino sugar with acetic anhydride or 2 ,4pentanedione and the formation of cyclic intermediates by heating in an al kaline medium. In the second stage, the medium is acidifed and the intermediates coupled with p_-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde to give a colored product. In …

Characteristics Of A Red-Water Bloom In Kingston Harbor, Jamaica, W. I., D. M. Steven Jan 1966

Characteristics Of A Red-Water Bloom In Kingston Harbor, Jamaica, W. I., D. M. Steven

Journal of Marine Research

A red-water bloom in Kingston Harbor, Jamaica, in October 1962 is described and discussed. The red water occurred during a brief period at the peak of a growth and decay cycle of a population of Exuviella sp. For several months before, during, and after the bloom, data on carbon fixation, chlorophyll, phytoplankton and nutrient concentrations were obtained at a station close to the bloom in Kingston Harbor and at another station in the Caribbean Sea.

Quasigeostrophic Free Oscillations In Enclosed Basins, Maurice Rattray Jr., Robert L. Charnell Jan 1966

Quasigeostrophic Free Oscillations In Enclosed Basins, Maurice Rattray Jr., Robert L. Charnell

Journal of Marine Research

Solutions are obtained for quasigeostrophic free oscillations in enclosed basins of dimensions comparable to the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian oceans. The lower-order baroclinic oscillations are r estri cted to the regions adjacent to the eq uator or the ocean boundaries, and for each basin the oscillations have an estimated minimum period of about 20 days. The barotropic oscillations fill the complete basin and have minimum periods varying from an estimated 2.7 days in the Pacific Ocean (wave length 14,900 km) to 3.8 days in the Indian Ocean (wave length 10,400 km)....

Modifications Of The Pisa Tube And Some Results From Observations Off Cape Point, C. P. Duncan Jan 1966

Modifications Of The Pisa Tube And Some Results From Observations Off Cape Point, C. P. Duncan

Journal of Marine Research

Twelve stations were worked from 6 to 8 July 1965 aboard the R.S. SARDINOPS in a tight grid of three lines between Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope, one line of four stations being worked each day. One subsurface current observation was made at each station with a Pisa Current Indicator (Carruthers Jelly Bottle). Results show three cyclonic eddies, with upwelling at each eddy. Surface flow, as shown by ship drift, bears no relationship to subsurface flow, possibly because of the strong thermocline throughout the area.

The Temperature Tolerances Of Three Species Of Marine Fishes, James G. Hoff, James R. Westman Jan 1966

The Temperature Tolerances Of Three Species Of Marine Fishes, James G. Hoff, James R. Westman

Journal of Marine Research

The temperature tolerances of three species of marine fishes----Menidia menidia (common silverside), Pseudopleuronectes americanus (winter flounder), and Spheroides maculatus (northern swellfish)-have been determined. Following calculation of the median tolerance limit for various exposure times over a range of acclimation temperatures, the thermal tolerance was determined on a square graph by plotting lethal temperature against acclimation temperature. The tolerances determined are: 715°C squared for M. menidia; 635°C or 685°C squared for P. americanus, with cold tolerance limits of 1°C or 0°C, respectively; and 550°C squared for S. maculatus.

Mineralogy Of Tongue Of The Ocean Sediments, Orrin H. Pilkey, James B. Rucker Jan 1966

Mineralogy Of Tongue Of The Ocean Sediments, Orrin H. Pilkey, James B. Rucker

Journal of Marine Research

The carbonate mineralogy of 25 short cores from the Tongue of the Ocean has been determined. Evidence presented in this paper indicates that carbonate mineralogy may reflect Pleistocene sea-level changes due to an increased contribution of low magnesium calcite from the subaerially exposed Bahama Banks when sea levels were low. It is suggested that this relationship of mineralogy to sea level may find wide application in the study of carbonate sedimentation in intermediate-depth water, proximal to carbonate banks.

An Investigation Into The Wind As The Cause Of Equatorial Undercurrent, A. R. Robinson Jan 1966

An Investigation Into The Wind As The Cause Of Equatorial Undercurrent, A. R. Robinson

Journal of Marine Research

A theoretical investigation is made of the wind as the possible cause of equatorial undercurrent. A uniform wind is allowed to stress a finite-depth ocean of infinite extent. All latitudinal current variations are β effects. The singular behavior of the flow is studied equatorward from midlatitudes. Next, the equatorial current is found to be strongly dependent on an assumed constant Austausch coefficient....

The Use Of Pco2 For The Calculation Of Biological Production, With Examples From Waters Off Massachusetts, John M. Teal, John Kanwisher Jan 1966

The Use Of Pco2 For The Calculation Of Biological Production, With Examples From Waters Off Massachusetts, John M. Teal, John Kanwisher

Journal of Marine Research

The use of pCO2 for the study of biological production in natural waters has advantages over the use of oxygen related to the persistence of changes in pCO2, the magnitude of the changes, and the possibility of making continuous recordings of surface-water pCO2 from a ship underway. The method of calculating biological production is discussed and illustrated with data from coastal waters off Massachusetts.

On The Dynamical Formulation Of The Large-Scale Momentum Exchange Between Atmosphere And Ocean, W. Lawrence Gates Jan 1966

On The Dynamical Formulation Of The Large-Scale Momentum Exchange Between Atmosphere And Ocean, W. Lawrence Gates

Journal of Marine Research

The vorticity equations for the vertically integrated momentum are derived for both the ocean and atmosphere, subject to the hydrostatic approximation, with the ocean's surface treated as a material interface. The familiar wind-stress curl is the dominant momentum exchange mechanism for large- and synoptic-scale circulations, with the air-pressure torque on the sea surface becoming of comparable importance for motion scales of the order of 102 km. The effect of the divergence of the integrated mass flux is among the larger terms of the vorticity equation for all scales of transient motion considered.

Influence Of The Surtsey Eruption On The Nutrient Content Of The Surrounding Seawater, Unnsteinn Stefánsson Jan 1966

Influence Of The Surtsey Eruption On The Nutrient Content Of The Surrounding Seawater, Unnsteinn Stefánsson

Journal of Marine Research

The influence of the recent Surtsey eruption on the nutrient content of the surrounding seawater was studied over a period of one year. During the first months, while the eruption was explosive and when seawater flooded the vents, a significant increase in reactive silicates was observed within 30 km of the eruption center, and the silicate concentration had increased by a factor of three near the island. After the eruption changed to an effusive phase, in early April 1964, the amounts dissolved were negligible, except close to the island where bot lava entered the sea....

Rossby Waves With Bottom Topography, George Veronis Jan 1966

Rossby Waves With Bottom Topography, George Veronis

Journal of Marine Research

A simple analysis shows the analogy between Rossby waves and waves caused by irregularities in the depth of a homogeneous layer of fluid in a rotating system. The effect of bottom topography is shown to be very important in generating low-frequency waves and is more important than the β effect even for relatively small changes in the depth....

Oriented Marine Cores: A Description Of New Locking Compasses And Triggering Mechanisms, André M. Rosfelder, Neil F. Marshall

Journal of Marine Research

While core-orientation data are becoming more and more necessary for marine sedimentological studies, there are no rugged, inexpensive, or convenient compasses that are insensitive to the ambient pressure, the inclination of the corer, and the bottom impact. This paper describes some instruments designed in an attempt to overcome these problems. A hemispherical compass, a free-floating spherical compass, an inexpensive "compass smasher," and some proposed simplified models of these are described....
