On The Water Masses Of Norfolk Canyon, Evon Paul Ruzecki Jan 1979

On The Water Masses Of Norfolk Canyon, Evon Paul Ruzecki

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Results from four cruises in the outer continental shelf/slope region of the Middle Atlantic Bight demonstrate the effect of Norfolk Canyon, an east coast submarine canyon, on the exchange of local water masses. Seasonal distributions of water masses and water types around the canyon were determined from closely spaced (2-5 km) hydrographic and XBT stations. Five component water types representing shelf, winter (or cold pool), slope, warm Western North Atlantic and cool Western North Atlantic waters are defined by specific T/S signatures. The percent of each water type necessary to achieve measured T/S values along sections to the north and …

The Virginia Chesapeake Bay: Recent Sedimentation And Paleodrainage, Michael J. Carron Jan 1979

The Virginia Chesapeake Bay: Recent Sedimentation And Paleodrainage, Michael J. Carron

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

A comparison of the bathymetric surveys of the 1850-series and 1950-series indicated an average sedimentation rate for the Virginia Chesapeake Bay of 0.55 m (1.81 ft) for the last century. A statistically significant relationship between the depth of water and the rate of sedimentation was found where high rates of sedimentation exist in extremely shallow water (0 to 2 m) and in intermediate depths (6 to 13 m), while low rates exist between 2 m and 6 m, and in some cases in water deeper than 13 m. The results of 900 km of continuous seismic reflection profiles taken in …
