The Bathystrophic Storm Tide, John C. Freeman Jr., Ledolph Baer, Glenn H. Jung Jan 1957

The Bathystrophic Storm Tide, John C. Freeman Jr., Ledolph Baer, Glenn H. Jung

Journal of Marine Research

The tides on a regular open coast change rapidly as a stonn approaches, and the time history of this change is important in computing dangerously rugh tides in bays; in addition, this change influences the maximum wave height offshore. Simple physfcal assumptions are used (and justified) to define a "bathystrophic" flow, and it is shown mathematically that this flow is of great importance in the computation of storm tides. Using only the traditionally accepted formulae and constants for wind stress and bottom friction, examples of the time change of the tide have been calculated. These results agree with observations as …


An External Core Catcher For Oceanographic Work, William H. Glezen Jan 1957

An External Core Catcher For Oceanographic Work, William H. Glezen

Journal of Marine Research

A core catcher for use with short gravity-type core barrels is described. A flat plate at the foot of a pair of pivot arms is caused to swing under the bottom of the core barrel after the barrel is withdrawn from the bottom. A float-weight lever arm is employed to actuate the device.

Experimental Investigation Of The Effect Of "Secondary Instability" On Mixing Processes, Gordon W. Groves, Townsend Cromwell Jan 1957

Experimental Investigation Of The Effect Of "Secondary Instability" On Mixing Processes, Gordon W. Groves, Townsend Cromwell

Journal of Marine Research

Since specific volume in the ocean is a nonlinear function of salinity and internal energy, mixing results in a change in the total volume. There is a contribution to the change in potential energy due to mixing, which depends on this change in volume and on the pressure at which mixing takes place. Fofonoff has made use of this fact in defining a "secondary stability" parameter. It might be speculated that, under conditions of (secondary) instability, turbulent mixing could be generated spontaneously or that the quality of mixing would be different from that under stable conditions. An experiment to detect …


Acceleration Measurements In The Deep Ocean, F. N. Spiess Jan 1957

Acceleration Measurements In The Deep Ocean, F. N. Spiess

Journal of Marine Research

The study of surface waves in the deep ocean can be carried out effectively by using a new technique: measurement of accelerations of a small water mass well below the surface. Instrumentation for carrying out such measurements is described in detail, including a special accelerometer, neutrally buoyant case, long lightweight slack wire, and data-recording equipment. Some initial results achieved with this equipment are shown and the possibility of broader applications of this technique for wave and gravity measurements at sea are discussed briefly.


Avifauna Of The Jorullo Region, Michoacán, Mexico, Raymond A. Paynter Jr. Mar 1956

Avifauna Of The Jorullo Region, Michoacán, Mexico, Raymond A. Paynter Jr.

Postilla

In 1759 the small volcano of Jorullo suddenly arose from the floor of a valley in south-central Michoacán, Mexico and, like its modern counterpart, Parícutin, 80 kilometers to the west, soon covered the surrounding farmlands with a thick blanket of ash....


Chlorophyll A In The Phytoplankton In Coastal Waters Of The Eastern Gulf Of Mexico, Nelson Marshall Jan 1956

Chlorophyll A In The Phytoplankton In Coastal Waters Of The Eastern Gulf Of Mexico, Nelson Marshall

Journal of Marine Research

Chlorophyll a was measured about twice a month for one year at three surface stations along the axis of Alligator Harbor, Florida; additional observations were made at stations along Tampa Bay and elsewhere in the coastal waters of the eastern Gulf of Mexico. The greatest concentrations, toward the head of the estuaries studied, were probably associated with low dispersal rates and with mixing of benthic forms into the plankton of shallow water....


A Method For Determining Mean Longitudinal Velocities In A Coastal Plain Estuary, D. W. Pritchard, Richard E. Kent Jan 1956

A Method For Determining Mean Longitudinal Velocities In A Coastal Plain Estuary, D. W. Pritchard, Richard E. Kent

Journal of Marine Research

It is shown that the longitudinal component of the mean velocity in a coastal plain estuary may be computed by indirect methods. To do this, use is made of the lateral and longitudinal components of the equation of motion, the tidal velocity amplitudes, and a deduced relationship between the vertical and lateral eddy stresses. The method is evaluated for a station in the James River estuary. The resultant computed velocities agree quantitatively with the corresponding observed velocities.


The Acion Of Variable Wind Stresses On A Stratified Ocean, G. Veronis, Henry Stommel Jan 1956

The Acion Of Variable Wind Stresses On A Stratified Ocean, G. Veronis, Henry Stommel

Journal of Marine Research

The forced response of a horizontally infinite ocean on a rotating earth to a transient wind system is investigated. In an equilibrium state, the ocean consists of two homogeneous layers of fluid of finite depth, the fluid in the lower layer being slightly denser than that in the upper. The wind system is periodic in space, and its time-dependence is periodic or is given by a step function....


The Processes Of Sound Scattering At The Ocean Surface And Bottom, R. J. Urick Jan 1956

The Processes Of Sound Scattering At The Ocean Surface And Bottom, R. J. Urick

Journal of Marine Research

In order to have a firm basis for the prediction of reverberation or back-scattering of sound in the sea, field measurements leading to values for a back-scattering coefficient of the sea surface and bottom have been made. Variation of this coefficient with angle of incidence of the sound beam provides some interesting clues as to the back-scattering processes which operate....


The Potassium-Chlorinity Ratio Of Ocean Water, Ralph E. Jentoft, Rex J. Robinson Jan 1956

The Potassium-Chlorinity Ratio Of Ocean Water, Ralph E. Jentoft, Rex J. Robinson

Journal of Marine Research

A method for determining the amount of potassium in ocean water has been described. With this procedure, a number of ocean water samples have been analyzed for potassium, and the potassium-chlorinity ratios have been calculated. The ratio has been found to have a constant value of 0.02023 with a standard deviation of 0.000,032 or 1.6 parts per 1,000.


On The Range Of Variation In Sea Level, J. Neumann Jan 1956

On The Range Of Variation In Sea Level, J. Neumann

Journal of Marine Research

It is inferred from statistical theory that under 'stationary' conditions, i. e., in the course of periods during which the mean sea level remains stable, the average range of sea level for intervals of time of given lengths should vary linearly with the logarithm of the length of time interval. This is an asymptotic property, so that the logarithmic law of increase in range holds only if the intervals considered are relatively long....

The Dynamic Structure Of A Coastal Plain Estuary, D. W. Pritchard

Journal of Marine Research

The time mean equations of motion applicable to a coa.stal plain estuary are developed and discussed. Time series observations of temperature, salinity, and current velocity from two sections in the James River are utilized to obtain the mean lateral and longitudinal components of the relative pressure field, the Coriolis force, and the field accelerations....


The Occurrence Of Cadmium In Seawater And In Marine Organisms And Sediments, J. B. Mullin, J. P. Riley Jan 1956

The Occurrence Of Cadmium In Seawater And In Marine Organisms And Sediments, J. B. Mullin, J. P. Riley

Journal of Marine Research

Methods have been developed for determining cadmium in seawater, marine organisms, and marine sediments. The procedure, based on the dithizone extraction method of Saltzman, is capable of detecting less than 10 mµg of the element and can be used for determining cadmium in silicate rocks; only thallium interferes. To confirm the presence of cadmium and to ensure freedom from contamination, the dithizone extracts were examined spectrographically.


Distribution Of Phosphorus In Great Pond, Massachusetts, Edward M. Hulburt Jan 1956

Distribution Of Phosphorus In Great Pond, Massachusetts, Edward M. Hulburt

Journal of Marine Research

Inorganic phosphate and total phosphorus were determined during 1950 in Great Pond, Massachusetts. Except in deeper water during summer, the concentration of inorganic phosphate was less in Great Pond than in its sources of fresh and salt waters. In summer the total phosphorus concentration was greater in the Pond than in the Sound or River, this being particularly so in deep water of the Pond....
