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.

NANOOS partnerships for assessing ocean acidification in the Pacific Northwest

2012 Oceans, 2012
Ocean acidification has serious implications for the economy and ecology of the Pacific Northwest United States. A combination of factors renders the Pacific coast and coastal estuaries particularly vulnerable to acidified water. The Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems, NANOOS, the Regional Association of the United States ...

Fukushima-derived radiocesium in the waters of the Northwest Pacific Ocean in the winter of 2011

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
To understand the transport of Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident (FDNPPA)-derived nuclear contaminated water, which will be discharged into the Pacific Ocean in the future, the distributions of 134Cs and 137Cs in seawater in the public areas east of Japan in winter 2011 were reported in this study. The ranges of 134Cs and 137Cs activities

Vertical distribution of bacterial abundance in the northwest pacific ocean

Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan, 1990
Mixed populations of free-living marine bacteria were collected at depths from the surface to the bottom (1,960m in Suruga Bay and 1,585 m in the Japan Sea) in the northwest Pacific during deep-sea diving by the submersible,Shinkai 2000. Their abundance in total cell counts and in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentration was found to decrease with ...

Spatial coherence measurement of sound in the northwest Pacific Ocean

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1993
An experiment on the transverse horizontal spatial coherence of sound propagating in the ocean was performed jointly by Chinese and Russian acousticians in the northwest Pacific Ocean in June 1990. Three hydrophones with spacings of 270 and 130 m were put in the water at a 30-m depth.

Stratigraphic framework for the late Pleistocene in the northwest Pacific Ocean

Deep Sea Research Part A. Oceanographic Research Papers, 1982
Abstract Analyses of the relative abundance of Cycladophora davisiana in 10 northwest Pacific deep-sea cores show that the species exhibits abundance variations during the late Pleistocene (≅450,000 years) comparable to those in the subantarctic and North Atlantic. Comparison of the C.

Seismological evidence for the tectonics of the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 1958
Abstract From a series of fault-plane solutions of earthquakes in any one area, it is possible to determine the tectonic displacement of that area by a least squares solution. This method has been applied to the areas marginal to the Northwest Pacific Ocean.

Platinum Group Elements in Ferromanganese Crusts of the Northwest Pacific Ocean

Russian Journal of Pacific Geology
A geochemical study of seven ferromanganese (Fe–Mn) crusts dredged from the surface of guyots and near-fault zones in the Kamchatka waters of the Pacific Ocean was carried out: on slopes of seamounts in the Stalemate fault zone, to the west of it and near the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench, as well as on the guyots of the Emperor Chain.

Relationship between cadmium and phosphate in the northwest Pacific Ocean

Journal of the Oceanographical Society of Japan, 1985
The relationship between Cd and PO4 in the Kuroshio and Oyashio regions and the Okhotsk Sea was examined. The resultant equations are as follows: Cd (ng l−1)=37.0 PO4 (μM)+2.6; Cd(ng l−1)=32.1 PO4 (μM)+1.2 and Cd (ng l−1)=34.1 PO4 (μM)+7.9, respectively.
