Ocean-Wave Measurement By Sonar, C. G. Mcilwraith, S. D. Hays Jan 1963

Ocean-Wave Measurement By Sonar, C. G. Mcilwraith, S. D. Hays

Journal of Marine Research

A bottom-mounted, narrow-beam active sonar has been designed, built, and operated to measure wave height in the open ocean. Experiments were carried out at a depth of 44 m. The apparatus is capable of measuring wave height at depths ranging from 6 to 67 m without modification, and to 150 m with a minimum of development. The amplitude resolution of the wave measurements was about 1 cm, and the spatial resolution on the surface of the ocean was approximately 60 cm. The wave data have been processed by digital methods, and the autocorrelation functions and power spectra of the ocean …

On The Approximations Involved In Transforming The Equations Of Motion From A Spherial Surface To The Β-Plane. I. Barotropic Systems, George Veronis Jan 1963

On The Approximations Involved In Transforming The Equations Of Motion From A Spherial Surface To The Β-Plane. I. Barotropic Systems, George Veronis

Journal of Marine Research

The consequences arising from the consideration of geostrophy in a rotating barotropic fluid are re-examined. It is shown that geostrophy implies that the horizontal divergence must vanish. A simple case of a fluid flow that is not geostrophic is also investigated, showing that the potential vorticity (defined in terms of variables parallel to the axis of rotation) is conserved. The approximations involved in transforming this conservation principle to one having terms of locally normal variables are then investigated....

Distribution Of Salinity And Dissolved Oxygen On Surfaces Of Uniform Potential Specific Volume In The South Atlantic, South Pacific, And Indian Oceans, Bruce A. Taft Jan 1963

Distribution Of Salinity And Dissolved Oxygen On Surfaces Of Uniform Potential Specific Volume In The South Atlantic, South Pacific, And Indian Oceans, Bruce A. Taft

Journal of Marine Research

Maps are presented that show the distributions of the salinity, dissolved oxygen, and depth of four potential specific-volume anomaly surfaces: 125, 100, 80, and 60 cl/t. Evidence indicates an anticyclonic circulation of water at intermediate depth in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans. Only in the South Pacific does water from the Circumpolar Current penetrate to low latitudes in a relatively unmixed condition. In the South Atlantic and South Indian oceans there is no counterpart for the poleward directed Peru-Chile Undercurrent. Low-salinity water from the Banda and Timor seas penetrates to the western South Indian Ocean on the 125-cl/t surface....

A Note Concerning Topography And Inertial Currents, H. P. Greenspan Jan 1963

A Note Concerning Topography And Inertial Currents, H. P. Greenspan

Journal of Marine Research

A simple steady dynamical model of inertial currents incorporating the effects of bottom topography is studied. The results of this analysis and those of preceding investigations indicate that topography may exert considerable influence on the structure of the Gulf Stream, on its separation point from the coastline, and on its subsequent meander pattern.

On The Approximations Involved In Transforming The Equations Of Motion From A Spherical Surface To The Β-Plane. Ii. Baroclinic Systems, George Veronis Jan 1963

On The Approximations Involved In Transforming The Equations Of Motion From A Spherical Surface To The Β-Plane. Ii. Baroclinic Systems, George Veronis

Journal of Marine Research

When the hydrodynamic equations of motion for large-scale geophysical flows are transformed from a spherical surface to the p-plane, the validity and usefulness of the resulting simplified system of equations are subject to certain restrictive conditions. These conditions are investigated and are found to be considerably weaker for baroclinic flows than for barotropic flows. In particular, if the locally horizontal component of the earth's rotation vector is to be neglected, it is necessary that the ratio of a characteristic vertical to a characteristic horizontal scale be much smaller than the tangent of the latitude....

Some Features Of The Deep Water In The Gulf Of Mexico, H. J. Mclellan, W. D. Nowlin Jan 1963

Some Features Of The Deep Water In The Gulf Of Mexico, H. J. Mclellan, W. D. Nowlin

Journal of Marine Research

In the central Gulf of Mexico, 52 stations having depths greater than 1500 m were occupied within a seven-week period. The data for waters below sill depth (2000 m) show that the ranges of potential temperature and salinity are very limited, although weak vertical gradients indicate a slight positive stability....

The Diversity Of Phytoplanktonic Populations In Oceanic, Coastal, And Estuarine Regions, Edward M. Hulburt

Journal of Marine Research

In the deep ocean north of Bermuda, during spring and summer, conditions for growth are poor, but physical conditions, such as high salinity and great depth, are favorable to the marine phytoplankton. The dominant species in a sample constitute a modest proportion of the cells counted, and a considerable diversity of species is observed....

Thermal Circulation On A Rotating Sphere; With Application To The Oceanic Thermocline, Allan R. Robinson, Pierre Welander Jan 1963

Thermal Circulation On A Rotating Sphere; With Application To The Oceanic Thermocline, Allan R. Robinson, Pierre Welander

Journal of Marine Research

We consider the thermal boundary layer beneath the surface of a differentially heated fluid portion of a rotating sphere, i.e., a region in which thermal conductivity is important but viscosity is negligible. A general three-dimensional similarity transformation is performed, and features of the related temperature and flow fields are studied. It is found that an upwelling of cold water into the boundary layer region from below is always necessary, that horizontal advection of heat is relatively negligible, and that a strong relation exists between boundary layer depth and surface-forcing function. The solutions are examined for numbers characteristic of the main …

Consequences Of Small Storage Capacity In Nannoplankton Pertinent To Measurement Of Primary Production In Tropical Waters, Howard T. Odum, Robert J. Beyers, Neal E. Armstrong Jan 1963

Consequences Of Small Storage Capacity In Nannoplankton Pertinent To Measurement Of Primary Production In Tropical Waters, Howard T. Odum, Robert J. Beyers, Neal E. Armstrong

Journal of Marine Research

A theory based on the performance of an electrical analogue circuit for balanced ecosystems relates respiration to the storage of labile organic matter during daytime photosynthesis. A very small storage capacitance and time constant may be introduced into the circuit to simulate a nannoplanktonic sygtem. It is found that respiration approaches photosynthesis during the day and almost ceases at night. Consequently, the usual carbon14 measurements of net production, and the conventional light-and-dark-bottle oxygen measurements of net production and nighttime respiration greatly underestimate gross photosy~thesis of tropical seas. An example of this phenomenon is shown in a planktonic brine microcosm.

Direct Measurements Of A Small Surface Eddy Of Northern Baja Califirnia, Joseph L. Reid Jr., Richard A. Schwartzlose, Daniel M. Brown Jan 1963

Direct Measurements Of A Small Surface Eddy Of Northern Baja Califirnia, Joseph L. Reid Jr., Richard A. Schwartzlose, Daniel M. Brown

Journal of Marine Research

An extensive study of surface currents off northern Baja California, using parachute drogues, has confirmed the inshore sweep of surface waters that has been a major feature of the geostrophic flow in this area. Calculations of geostrophic flow from concurrent density measurements are in excellent agreement with the drogue trajectories, and an extra hydrographic cast made at the center of an eddy that was indicated earlier by the drogue movements confirms the remarkable small-scale coherence of the density and velocity fields....

Studies On The Biology Of The Neuroactive Amines; A Morphologic And Pharmacologic Approach, Herbert Meltzer

Yale Medicine Thesis Digital Library

[From the Introduction] The discoveries that histamine is found in the mast cells of a myriad of species, that 5-hydroxytryptamine is found in the mast cells of the rat and mouse, and that these amines are largely bound in granules made this cell of great interest to the student of amine biology. It meant that the mast cell, along with the cells of the adrenal medulla and the blood platelets could serve as a model system for the amine biology of the vertebrate nervous system whose complexity makes a direct experimental approach extremely difficult. Thus, information about amine synthesis, destruction, …
