Pacific Northwest Plants Record Multiannual Atmosphere–Ocean Circulation Patterns

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2021
AbstractCarbon isotope ecology can be used as a measure of plant water stress. Plant water stress is complicated: multiple factors (e.g., evapotranspiration rates, temperature, precipitation, soil texture, and available water) control the magnitude of the isotopic expression.

Oceanic rainfall off the Pacific Northwest Coast

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1973
Rainfall within 55 km of the northwest coast of the United States was measured from a buoy and estimated from weather reports at lightships. Results show that precipitation at sea was only about one half to one third of that found at coastal land stations.

Characterizing infrasonic ocean ambient noise in Northwest Pacific

Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2016
The ability of the International Monitoring System (IMS) infrasound network to detect atmospheric explosions and events of interest strongly depends on station specific ambient noise which includes both incoherent wind noise and real coherent infrasonic waves.

CRYPTIC DIVERSITY IN PLANKTIC FORAMINIFERA IN THE NORTHWEST PACIFIC OCEAN

The Journal of Foraminiferal Research, 2009
Recent molecular studies show multiple cases of cryptic diversification in planktic foraminifera; however, the geographic distribution of the cryptic species is poorly known. Herein, we present the first insight into the cryptic diversity of planktic foraminifera from Northwest Pacific samples.

Simulation and Analysis of Ocean Wave in the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2012
In order to obtain more accurate results than the traditional method of wave statistics，the third-generation ocean wave model WAVEWATCH III (WW3) is applied to simulate the sea wave field of the Northwest Pacific. The model is driven by the QSCAT/NCEP blended winds. Then wave parameters are analyzed by statistical analysis method. The comparison of the

Acidic Ocean Hits Pacific Northwest

Chemical & Engineering News Archive, 2013
The path to Cape Flattery is a twisty, moss-carpeted tunnel underneath red cedar and Douglas fir trees that crowd Washington state’s rugged coastline.

Argo data assimilation in ocean general circulation model of Northwest Pacific Ocean

Ocean Dynamics, 2012
The Argo temperature and salinity profiles in 2005–2009 are assimilated into a coastal ocean general circulation model of the Northwest Pacific Ocean using the ensemble adjustment Kalman filter (EAKF). Three numerical tests, including the control run (CTL) (without data assimilation, which serves as the reference experiment), ensemble free run (EnFR ...

An immense shield volcano within the Shatsky Rise oceanic plateau, northwest Pacific Ocean

Nature Geoscience, 2013
Most oceanic plateaux are massive basaltic volcanoes. However, the structure of these volcanoes, and how they erupt and evolve, is unclear, because they are remote and submerged beneath the oceans. Here we use multichannel seismic profiles and rock samples taken from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program core sites to analyse the structure of the Tamu ...

Mid-ocean-ridge basalt of Indian type in the northwest Pacific Ocean basin

Nature Geoscience, 2009
Since 42 million years ago, the northwestern Pacific Izu Bonin arc magmas have incorporated lead from subducted Indian-type oceanic crust. This crust probably formed at a now-extinct spreading centre in the Pacific basin that tapped Indian-type upper mantle, suggesting a greater extent for this mantle domain than accepted at present.

NANOOS contributions to understanding ocean acidification in the Pacific Northwest

OCEANS 2010 MTS/IEEE SEATTLE, 2010
NANOOS is coordinating a regional effort to observe the status of ocean acidification in the coastal waters and estuaries of Washington and Oregon. There is strong partnership in this effort between federal and university scientists, as well as strong interest from shellfish growers, tribes, and other stakeholders in the region.
