In an attempt to prevent repetition and redundency, this section called Multidisciplinary Oceanography will precede the othersections. Coastal Oceanography COOC Coastal Oceanography COOC is an interdisciplinary researchpro- gram for investigators to learn more about the interactions ofocean con- ditions, the pelagic food chain and albacoretuna off the Oregon Coast. Upwelling and the Columbia River plume, phenomena that dominatethe ocean off Oregon during the summer, receive special attention.This study consists of several interdependent projects.See also: Local Winds- Pattullo, Detweiler, page 9.

Solar radiation data are now being recorded at the tropical North Pacific sites:Johnston Island 16°45'N, 169°31'W, Majuro Atoll 7°05'N, 171° 23'E, and Kwajalein Atoll 8°501N, 167° 36'E.The official starting date was 1 February 1970, however, Majuro has been recording since 1 December 1969. A program has been developed through theNational Weather Records Center, Asheville, to obtain the necessary weather data in support of this project.ATS-I satellite pictures of the tropical Pacific, for the involved period, are being received through the courtesy of the National Environmental Satellite Center of ESSA. Development of Forecast Techniques for Wave and Surf Conditions over the Bars in the Columbia River Mouth and at the Entrance to YaquinaBay- Quinn, Neshyba, Burdwell Columbia River bar closure intervals (closure to shiptransport) for the period January 1963 through the present were obtainedfrom the Columbia River Bar Pilots Associationby Mr.N.Kujala.The synoptic weather patterns and deep water waves and swell which lead up toand cause these bar closures will be studied indetail in order to develop a predictionscheme.Mr. Dave Enfield, a student oceanographerwith meteorological training, will be working on the solution to thisproblem in his thesis research, The OSU buoy, TOTEM I, has now been instrumented so asto record deep water wave characteristics, and it is expectedthat such data should soon be available. Modification of Precipitation on the Oregon Coast -Elliott, Burt, Egami, Rossknecht, Ramsey (Statistics) During the winter, in addition to our regular rain gaugeoperation, we used a specially modified rain gauge.We were able to record approxi- 3 mately 0. 0002 inches of precipitation for a three-day storm in late Feb- ruary.Analyzing these data by complex demodulation is revealing the fine-structure of the rainfall patterns as well as such problems as 're- verse' aliasing of the data and the non-stationanity of the time series. A modified tipping-bucket rain gauge was installed on the TOTEM Buoy to be compared with rain gauges on the shoreline. We found con- siderably less rain at sea, as revealed in the Table below. We attempted to measure condensation nuclei at sea aboard R/V YAQUINA in January.Due to mechanical and weather difficulties only a few samples were taken but these indicated much less cloud-condensation nuclei than found on the Coast.

We havenot yet analyzed the filter data but we have found indicationsthat the Aitkennuclei counts at sea do show the influence of land out to several hundred miles. Model Study of Double Kelvin Waves- Caldwell We have obtained sequences of streak photographs of oscillatory modes trapped on the edge of a circular sill ina rotating basin.The dis- persion curve agrees well with Longuet-Higgins' calculations except at long wavelengths where the curvature of the sill is probably important. Two modes have been found, and possiblya third.The higher modes also follow the calculated dispersioncurve. EdgeWaves ina RotatingModel - Caldwell, Cutchin In order to investigate the modes of wave motion present on a shelf with an exponential depth profile,we have constructed a circular shelf with such a profile on the rotating table.Preliminary results show that the calculations of Buchwald and Adams, extended by Longuet-Higgins to non-zero divergence, predict the dispersion relation for the first and second modes quite well. Potential Temperature of Seawater- Caldwell, Culberson Recently it was discovered that convection is started in seawater initially at rest by finite-amplitude disturbances rather than infinitesimal perturbations (seePapers in Press, page 82 ).The temperature gradient in a layer of seawater can be dependentupon the history of the system, and can be a decreasing function of heat flow in certain regimes.Experi- ments are now under way to investigate this effect in pure water in order to understand its origin.

  • Shrimp Fishing in Mexico

    Shrimp Fishing in Mexico

    235 Shrimp fishing in Mexico Based on the work of D. Aguilar and J. Grande-Vidal AN OVERVIEW Mexico has coastlines of 8 475 km along the Pacific and 3 294 km along the Atlantic Oceans. Shrimp fishing in Mexico takes place in the Pacific, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean, both by artisanal and industrial fleets. A large number of small fishing vessels use many types of gear to catch shrimp. The larger offshore shrimp vessels, numbering about 2 212, trawl using either two nets (Pacific side) or four nets (Atlantic). In 2003, shrimp production in Mexico of 123 905 tonnes came from three sources: 21.26 percent from artisanal fisheries, 28.41 percent from industrial fisheries and 50.33 percent from aquaculture activities. Shrimp is the most important fishery commodity produced in Mexico in terms of value, exports and employment. Catches of Mexican Pacific shrimp appear to have reached their maximum. There is general recognition that overcapacity is a problem in the various shrimp fleets. DEVELOPMENT AND STRUCTURE Although trawling for shrimp started in the late 1920s, shrimp has been captured in inshore areas since pre-Columbian times. Magallón-Barajas (1987) describes the lagoon shrimp fishery, developed in the pre-Hispanic era by natives of the southeastern Gulf of California, which used barriers built with mangrove sticks across the channels and mouths of estuaries and lagoons. The National Fisheries Institute (INP, 2000) and Magallón-Barajas (1987) reviewed the history of shrimp fishing on the Pacific coast of Mexico. It began in 1921 at Guaymas with two United States boats.

Under evaluation is a distinct coastal boulder bed (CBB) derived from banded rhyolite with boulders arrayed in a partial-ring configuration against one side of the headland on Ensenada Almeja (Clam Bay) north of Loreto. Preconditions related to the thickness of rhyolite flows and vertical fissures that intersect the flows at right angles along with the specific gravity of banded rhyolite delimit the size, shape and weight of boulders in the Almeja CBB. Mathematical formulae are applied to calculate the wave height generated by storm surge impacting the headland. The average weight of the 25 largest boulders from a transect nearest the bedrock source amounts to 1200 kg but only 30% of the sample is estimated to exceed a full metric ton in weight.

She has carried hundreds of MSC students and sailors under the Golden Gate Bridge and onto the Pacific Ocean. At 44.4 feet overall length and 24,000 pounds of displacement, Coho II is built for crossing oceans with speed, seakindly motion, and good performance in both big winds and light airs. • Fast and able bluewater cruiser • Fully equipped for the offshore sailing and cruising experience TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS You are responsible for booking your own airfare. Direct flights from SFO to La Paz, and Los Cabos to SFO are available but are limited. Flights with layovers in San Diego or Los Angeles will cost less than direct flights. If you would like to use a travel agent to book your flights, we suggest Bob Entwisle at E&E Travel at (415) 819-5665. WHAT TO BRING Luggage Travel light. Your gear should fit in a medium duffel bag and small carry-on bag. Your carry-on should be less than 15 pounds. We recommend using a dry bag or backpack. Both bags should be collapsible for easy storage on the boat in small space. Do not bring bags with hard frames as they are difficult to stow. Gear We have found that people often only use about half of what they bring. A great way to bring only what you use is to lay all your items out and reduce it by 50%.

Correspondence: Jens K. Ehn ([email protected]) Abstract. The particulate beam attenuation coefficient at 660 nm, cp(660), was measured in conjunction with properties of suspended particle assemblages in August 2009 within the Canadian Beaufort Sea continental margin, a region heavily influenced by sediment discharge from the Mackenzie River. The suspended particulate matter mass concentration (SPM) 3 ranged from 0.04 to 140 g m− , its composition varied from mineral to organic-dominated, and the median particle diameter 5 ranged determined over the range 0.7–120 µm varied from 0.78 to 9.45 µm, with the fraction of particles < 1 µm highest in surface layers influenced by river water or ice melt. A relationship between SPM and cp(660) was developed and used to determine SPM distributions based on measurements of cp(660) taken during summer seasons of 2004, 2008 and 2009, as well as fall 2007.
