Hermetically-Sealing Seawater Sampler, Rudolf H. Bieri Jan 1965

Hermetically-Sealing Seawater Sampler, Rudolf H. Bieri

Journal of Marine Research

This paper describes a device that seals samples of seawater in situ in an aluminum or copper tube in millimeter quantities such that the dissolved gases are retained and can be transferred to vacuum systems without either the loss of the contained gases or the introduction of air. The instrument has been tested to depths of 4000 m in the open ocean under modestly harsh conditions.


Gravitational Circulation In Straits And Estuaries, Donald V. Hansen, Maurice Rattray Jr. Jan 1965

Gravitational Circulation In Straits And Estuaries, Donald V. Hansen, Maurice Rattray Jr.

Journal of Marine Research

A coupled set of partial differential equations and associated boundary conditions is written to describe circulation and salt-flux processes for estuaries in which turbulent mixing results primarily from tidal currents. Similarity solutions, motivated by characteristic salinity distributions observed in estuaries, are obtained for this set of equations and are compared with observational data....


Nitrite Distribution In Peru Current Waters, Warren S. Wooster, Tsaihwa J. Chow, Izadore Barrett Jan 1965

Nitrite Distribution In Peru Current Waters, Warren S. Wooster, Tsaihwa J. Chow, Izadore Barrett

Journal of Marine Research

Studies of the nitrite-nitrogen distribution off the western coast of South America have shown significant concentrations in surface waters (up to 0.5 µg-at/l) and a widespread primary maximum near the top of the thermocline. Below the surface layer, where the oxygen minimum contains less than 0.2 ml/l of dissolved oxygen, a secondary maximum was present south of 10°S, within 1000 km of the coast....


A Note On The Western Intensification Of The Oceanic Circulation, Joseph Pedlosky Jan 1965

A Note On The Western Intensification Of The Oceanic Circulation, Joseph Pedlosky

Journal of Marine Research

The purpose of this note is to provide a simple physical explanation for the westward intensification of the oceanic circulation found in the several dynamically different existing theoretical models (e.g. Stommel 1948, Carrier and Robinson 1962). It has the advantage of showing why the western oceanic boundary is singled out as the boundary-layer region that closes the interior Sverdrup solution.

A Hydraulically Actuated Safety Device, Peter L. Sachs Jan 1964

A Hydraulically Actuated Safety Device, Peter L. Sachs

Journal of Marine Research

A hydraulically actuated safety device has been built and has proved effective in reducing accidental, premature operation of oceanographic samplers. It consists of a cylinder, a piston, and a shear actuated by the piston. Increasing hydrostatic pressure acting on one side of the piston shears a pin at a predetermined depth, thus arming instruments sensitive to sudden motion.


The General Oceanic Circulation; Some Computations, A Working Hypothesis, And Proposed Tests, El Sayed Mohamed Hassan Jan 1964

The General Oceanic Circulation; Some Computations, A Working Hypothesis, And Proposed Tests, El Sayed Mohamed Hassan

Journal of Marine Research

An analytic solution for the three-dimensional structure of horizontal velocity has been computed for a parallelepipedic model ocean with certain restrictions. Observed features that repeated themselves when the model parameters were changed have been generalized, and it is hypothesized that some of the persistent features obtained from the computations exist in the real ocean.


Thermocline Structure In The Equatorial Pacific, W. D. Forrester Jan 1964

Thermocline Structure In The Equatorial Pacific, W. D. Forrester

Journal of Marine Research

Forty-seven temperature sections taken in the equatorial region from at least 2°N to 2°S between 97°W and 178°E have been used to study the spreading of the thermocline in order to acquire further information about possible seasonal and longitudinal variations in the Equatorial Undercurrent. As evidenced by the spreading of the isotherms, the Undercurrent appears to be confined between 2°N and 2°S and to have its core near the 20°C isotherm, with both the isotherms and the current core shoaling eastward....


A Portable Hydraulic Diver-Operated Dredge-Sieve For Sampling Subtidal Macrofauna, C. Everett Brett Jan 1964

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....

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....


The Determination And Distribution Of Particulate Aluminum And Iron In The Costal Waters Of The Pacific Northwest, Timothy Joyner Jan 1964

The Determination And Distribution Of Particulate Aluminum And Iron In The Costal Waters Of The Pacific Northwest, Timothy Joyner

Journal of Marine Research

The simultaneous spectrophotometric analysis of aluminum and iron with a mixed reagent consisting of ferron and orthophenanthroline was used for the determination of these elements in particulate matter filtered from seawater. The aluminum associated with suspended clay minerals may be used as a sensitive measure of the distribution of runoff plumes in coastal areas. In the coastal waters of Washington and British Columbia, aluminum-rich runoff plumes were enriched also with particulate iron.

The Cross Spectrum Of Sea Level At San Francisco And Honolulu, Gordon W. Groves, Bernard D. Zetler

Journal of Marine Research

Continuous series of tide records from 1905 to 1956 at San Francisco and Honolulu were reduced to smoothed values at 32-hour intervals. The cross spectrum of the resulting seri es was computed by the Tukey method for 750 narrow-frequency bands at intervals of 0.0005 cycles per day. The curves of spectral-energy density vary smoothly with frequency; the only significant peaks occur at tidal frequencies....

Gamma-ray spectra of some primary producers (single-cell plants), filter-feeding herbivores, and carnivores, assigned to trophic levels I, II, and III–V, respectively, were prepared from marine samples taken in the Pacific off Oregon during 1961–1962. These organisms had been exposed in their natural environment to both fission produ cts from fallout and neutron-induced radionuclides from reactors on the Columbia River....


Sea-Level Variations At Iceland And Bermuda, David M. Shaw, William L. Donn Jan 1964

Sea-Level Variations At Iceland And Bermuda, David M. Shaw, William L. Donn

Journal of Marine Research

Data from tide gauges at Iceland and Bermuda combined with data on atmospheric pressure at both stations plus hydrographic serial observations at Bermuda are utilized to analyze sea-level variations in both regions. Residual sea-level anomalies (raw sea-level anomaly minus barometric and steric effects) are computed and discussed for Bermuda. The analysis, which indicates a periodicity of four months, is regarded as very tentative....


Explosion-Generated Waves In Water Of Variable Depth, Wm. G. Van Dorn Jan 1964

Explosion-Generated Waves In Water Of Variable Depth, Wm. G. Van Dorn

Journal of Marine Research

This study shows that the theory of geometric optics adequately predicts the behavior of a dispersive wave system radiating from a large chemical explosion over sloping bottom topography. The phase and amplitude of an equivalent wave train (reconstructed from the observed data for uniform depth equal to that at the explosion site) are shown to be consistent with the phase and amplitude predicted by theory for the wave system produced by an initial parabolic crater in the water....


A Study Of Production In The Gulf Of Mexico, J. H. Steele Jan 1964

A Study Of Production In The Gulf Of Mexico, J. H. Steele

Journal of Marine Research

Theoretical reasons are given to show that midwater chlorophyll maxima may be due to an increase in the chlorophyll content of the plants rather than to an accumulation of plants due to sinking. Data from the Gulf of Mexico are used to support this explanation.

Volcanism And Clay Minerals In The Southeastern Pacific, M. N.A. Peterson, J. J. Griffin Jan 1964

Volcanism And Clay Minerals In The Southeastern Pacific, M. N.A. Peterson, J. J. Griffin

Journal of Marine Research

The distribution of clay mineral suites in surficial sediments of the southeastern Pacific is clearly r elated to variations in the composition of volcanic contributions to the sediments. The ratio of alkali feldspar plus quartz to plagioclase has been used to characterize the volcanic contributions. Sediments in areas of dominantly acidic volcanism contain clay mineral suites that are largely of detrital origin, mainly "illite" and chlorite....


The Spacing Of Windrows Of Sargassum In The Ocean, Alan J. Faller, Alfred H. Woodcock Jan 1964

The Spacing Of Windrows Of Sargassum In The Ocean, Alan J. Faller, Alfred H. Woodcock

Journal of Marine Research

The spacing of bands of Sargassum in the Atlantic Ocean is shown to be dependent upon the wind speed. These bands are indicative of the presence of helical vortices in the surface waters, and the data support Langmuir's contention that the vortices are wind-driven.
