  • A Modified Sverdrup Model of the Atlantic and Caribbean Circulation
    MARCH 2002 WAJSOWICZ 973 A Modi®ed Sverdrup Model of the Atlantic and Caribbean Circulation ROXANA C. WAJSOWICZ* Department of Meteorology, University of Maryland at College Park, College Park, Maryland (Manuscript received 9 October 2000, in ®nal form 6 August 2001) ABSTRACT An analytical model of the mean wind-driven circulation of the North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea is constructed based on linear dynamics and assumed existence of a level of no motion above all topography. The circulation around each island is calculated using the island rule, which is extended to describe an arbitrary length chain of overlapping islands. Frictional effects in the intervening straits are included by assuming a linear dependence on strait transport. Asymptotic expansions in the limit of strong and weak friction show that the transport streamfunction on an island boundary is dependent on wind stress over latitudes spanning the whole length of the island chain and spanning just immediately adjacent islands, respectively. The powerfulness of the method in enabling the wind stress bands, which determine a particular strait transport, to be readily identi®ed, is demonstrated by a brief explanation of transport similarities and differences in earlier numerical models forced by various climatological wind stress products. In the absence of frictional effects outside western boundary layers, some weaker strait transports are in the wrong direction (e.g., Santaren Channel) and others are too large (e.g., Old Bahama Channel). Also, there is no western boundary current to the east of Abaco Island. Including frictional effects in the straits enables many of these discrepancies to be resolved.

SHIPBOARD DRAFT .. ----------------------- - ( PREFACE This Cruise Report is written in an attempt to accomplish two objectives. Firstly, and more importantly, it presents a brief outline of the scientific research completed aboard R/V Westward during W-48. Reports of the status of on-going projects and of the traditional academic program are presented. In addition, abstracts from the research projects of each student are included. Secondly, for those of us that participated, it represents the product of our efforts and contains a record of other events that were an important part of the trip, in particular the activities during port stops. Once again, lowe special thanks to Abby Ames, who was in charge of the shipboard laboratory, and upon whom I was able to depend through­ out the cruise. Her effectiveness and perseverance under the difficult working conditions at sea, and her cheerful attitude and enthusiasm were greatly appreciated by us all. Rob Nawojchik, who participated as an Assistant Scientist, added a new field of interest to the cruise with his vast knowledge of ichthyology. The energy with which he pursued his interest and his enthusiasm for the subject, set an example for us all. Two visiting scholars participated in different legs of this cruise.

  • 595 VERIFICATION of an ARCHAIC AGE OCCUPATION on BARBADOS, SOUTHERN LESSER ANTILLES Scott M Fitzpatrick Some of the More Central
    RADIOCARBON, Vol 53, Nr 4, 2011, p 595–604 © 2011 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona VERIFICATION OF AN ARCHAIC AGE OCCUPATION ON BARBADOS, SOUTHERN LESSER ANTILLES Scott M Fitzpatrick Department of Sociology and Anthropology, NC State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, USA. Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT. The Caribbean Archaic Age (about 3000–500 BC) is thought to represent the earliest migration of humans from South America into the Lesser Antilles. However, there is a conspicuous absence of these early sites on islands south of the Guadeloupe Passage. To date, only a single radiocarbon date derived from a Queen conch (Strombus [Eustrombus] gigas) shell at the Heywoods site on Barbados was indicative of an Archaic occupation in the southern Antilles apart from a scatter- ing of poorly reported (and mostly undated) sites. Given a number of issues associated with reliance on a single date to estab- lish a cultural horizon, along with other problems derived from possible carbonate cement contamination and dating marine shells of a longer-lived species such as Queen conch, 2 additional samples were taken from the same unit and context at Hey- woods to confirm whether the site is truly representative of an occupation during the Archaic Age. Results from a Queen conch shell adze in Context 7 dated to 2530–2200 BC (2 ) and overlaps with the only other Archaic date from the site dating to 2320–1750 cal BC, while a juvenile specimen of the same species from Context 8 at 3280–2940 BC (2 ) indicates that Barbados may have been settled even earlier.

The historical era of the Caribbean has seen the decline and introduction of various different and opposing cultures. Because of this, the cultural landscape of the Caribbean today is one of the most diverse in the world. However, some of these cultures have been more extensively explored archaeologically than others. A few of the areas of study that have begun to receive more attention in recent years are contact era interaction, indentured labor populations, historical environment and landscape, re-excavation of colonial sites with new discoveries and interpretations, and other aspects of daily life in the colonial Caribbean. This symposium seeks to explore new areas of overlooked peoples, cultures, and activities that have

Douglass Assistant Professor of Anthropology Peter B. Newman Professor of Recreation, Park, and Tourism Management Lee A.

Keegan Curator of Caribbean Archaeology, Florida Museum of Natural History Professor of Anthropology, University of Florida Special Member Mary K. Shenk Associate Professor of Anthropology & Demography Director of Graduate Studies *Signatures on file in the Graduate School ABSTRACT The pre-Columbian colonization of the Caribbean is traditionally described as a series of migrations from coastal South America moving northward, island to island, as “stepping-stones.” As the southernmost island in the Antilles archipelago, just 90 miles off Venezuela, the island of Grenada is assumed to be the crucial first “step” in these migrations. However, too little archaeological data was available to substantiate this claim. This dissertation project was designed to fill the gap. Using the Ideal Free Distribution (IFD), a heuristic from Human Behavioral Ecology, a predictive model was built to test areas of high-probability for early settlement on Grenada via an island-wide “radiocarbon survey” that collected artifactual, soil, and radiocarbon samples.

  • CRUISE REPORT Scientific Activities Key West
    CRUISE REPORT W-55 Scientific Activities Key West - lIes des Saintes - Jamaica - Key West 26 November 1980 - 7 January 1981 R/V Westward Sea Education Association Woods Hole, Massachusetts DRAFT COpy Preface This cruise report is intended to serve as an outline of the academic program and marine research conducted on ~he fifty-fifth cruise of the research vessel Westward which took place between 26 November 1980 and 7 January 1981. Included are abstracts from twenty-four student projects conducted and completed during the cruise and preliminary results of oceanographic studies designed by the chief scientist. Also reported here are data which are being incorporated in the long-term studies of S.E.A. staff scientists and other associated researchers. The bulk of this report was written while at sea and is not intended to represent the final analysis or interpretation of data generated during Westward cruise W-55. This cruise, involving a particularly large number of oceanographic stations and a cruise track of over 3000 nautical miles, required the cooperation and help of all staff and students. I am particularly grateful for the tireless efforts of my two assistant scientists, Alan Hickey and Neil Glickstein. Alan contributed to the cruise in a way that only an oceanographer of his broad experience and expertise could, and Neil, with several years of experience as an educator and scientist in other programs, provided the glue that was needed for a strong academic program. Alan and Neil relieved me of the burden of nearly all technical matters in the laboratory, providing me with time for coordination of oceanographic stations and twenty-four very ambitious student projects.
