Extractions: SIO Reference Number 98-16 In the 100th anniversary issue of Sunset Magazine, published May 1998, the "ongoing timeline of major events" says that in 1952 UC Berkeley physicist Hugh Bradner invented the wet suit. This single fact summarizes a more complex story. In the spring of 1951, Bradner decided to spend some "weekend time" improving the equipment for the navy frogmen. Soon thereafter, he sent ideas and concepts of the wet suit to UC Berkeley physicist, Lauriston C. "Larry" Marshall, who was involved in a U.S. Navy/National Research Council Panel on Underwater Swimmers. In the fall of 1951 the effort to actively develop the wet suit began when colleagues at the Berkeley Radiation Lab joined Bradner in the fabrication and testing of various materials. Bradner already held patents for a number of inventions and clearly had the skills and knowledge to help underwater swimmers and swimmers in general. His goal was straightforward, design a wet suit for the military underwater swimmer. In a letter to Larry Marshall dated June 21, 1951, Bradner wrote that suits do not need to be watertight if thermal insulation is obtained by air entrapped in the material of the suit. The diver does not have to be dry to stay warm. He began testing the wet suit models in the fall of 1951.

Almost seventy-one percent of the Earth is covered by water. In this introductory episode we look at how oceans affect temperature, influence weather, and what they provide for human intake. 2. Cosmic Origins. In this lesson we describe the events leading to the formation of the Earth and its oceans. 3. Historical Perspectives. The history of oceanography and contributions to modern oceanography are examined towards understanding tides, currents and changes in the sea. 4. The Waters of the Earth. How do the special properties of water have allow life to develop and thrive on Earth? The constant change of the shoreline by tides, currents, seasons and waves provides a great laboratory for oceanographers. 6. The Intertidal Zone. Learn physical characteristics of the intertidal zones and how life is adapted to these areas in this episode. 7. Continental Margins.

Extractions: Tel: 07-47534243 Fax: 07-47725852 ABSTRACT The water currents are important because they determine where water-borne particles will travel to. Particles of interest include natural ones: such as coral eggs and fish larvae; as well as pollutants such as dredge spoils, mud, pesticides and nutrients from farm runoff and sewage treatment plants. Cases of great practical importance are described, namely the impact of land use, reef recruitment of corals and fish larvae, and global change. We have modelled the dominant hydrodynamics of the central Great Barrier Reef continental shelf, calibrating our models against our extensive tidal and current data. The currents (both speed and direction) show variability at all scales and are complex. These currents are also three-dimensional. This complexity in the currents causes patchiness in the transport of the water-borne particles. The Burdekin River in flood generates a lens of brackish water floating over high salinity, oceanic water, and typically travels northward along the coast. Risk assessment analysis using the model results is needed to evaluate the impact of land use on the Great Barrier Reef. Further, the fate of pollutants, such as pesticides and heavy metals in river discharges is linked to chemical processes between these contaminants and the cohesive sediments. Enhanced flocculation around marine snow flocs and mangrove vegetation detritus lessens the direct impact on coral reefs.

Extractions: Geophysics the physics of the Earth is a comparatively young science. Evolving into a distinct discipline only in the 19th Century, geophysics arose in the borderland between older, established sciences: physical geography, geology, astronomy, meteorology, and physics. Yet "geophysical" phonemena such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, floods, auroras, and lightning had been objects of curiosity and speculation since ancient times. In the 20th Century, the discoveries of cosmic rays, the core and mantle of the Earth, seafloor spreading, and El Nino illustrated the evolution and maturing of the geophysical sciences, which are now generally considered to include: solid earth geophysics, atmospheric and ocean sciences, hydrologic sciences, and space sciences. Like the science itself, the history of geophysics overlaps discipline boundaries. Internet resources in the history of geology, physics, astronomy, and oceanography all may contain material relevant to the history of geophysical ideas, experiments, and exploration, and the stories of geophysicists and their institutions. The online articles, bibliographies, and metasites (collections of web links) listed below are freely available on the Internet and all have at least some geophysics component. They range from educational sites written for the general public to lists of archival repositories and databases of interest to professional historians of science.
Extractions: near New Zealand (COOK20MV) The SIO Archives record the human endeavor in oceanography, with a collection of documents and photographs of work at sea going back to 1904. By following the threads of careers , project documents and publications, we will show how expeditions have been a fundamentally collaborative, interdisciplinary, and evolving process. These historical archives reveal a wide range of information that can make scientific data archives come alive for scientists and non-scientists alike. For this project, the SIO Archives has selected documents and images relating to expeditions conducted by the Scripps Institution of Oceanography that were of particular importance for their contributions to geophysics. These materials describe where the scientists went, what they saw, and what they did. Included are photographs of life at sea and on shore as well as of individual scientists and of scientific instruments. The SIO Library is also scanning publications that describe the scientific findings from each of these cruises. Preparing Textual Resources For many of our historic voyages, we are fortunate in having expedition reports, which include the track of the vessel, the list of personnel and ports of call, the expedition objective and the scientific results of the expedition. The expedition reports are being used to select photographs, track charts, correspondence, cruise narratives and other content that illustrate the expedition, scientists, and work at sea.

Extractions: Proposed Research On Climate Change And Halibut Biology IPHC Staff November 1996 Executive Summary We propose to undertake a three year investigation of widely observed interdecadal changes in the growth and recruitment of Pacific halibut. Recent advances in our understanding of climatic variability have led to a general theory of 20-30 year climatic regimes across the North Pacific. The remarkable temporal coincidence of changes in the general atmospheric and oceanic circulation with changes in halibut population characteristics provide a conceptual framework from which to organize the investigation. The nature of the work ranges from retrospective analysis in the first year to modelling and process oriented field studies in the second and third years. A well qualified fisheries oceanographer (Ph. D. or possibly doctoral candidate) is required to conduct the studies. Cost of the study is dependent primarily on the researcher, but should be in the range US$100,000 - US$180,000. INTRODUCTION During this century there have been dramatic and persistent changes in the growth and recruitment of Pacific halibut that cannot be readily explained by changes in stock size (Clark 1995). The staff has taken account of these medium-term changes in recommending an optimal exploitation rate, but we have not known the reason (or reasons) for them.

Extractions: Previous Table of Contents Next Mine Warfare Meteorology and Oceanography Programs Environmental and terrain parameters influencing MIW operations include: Bathymetry . Water depths directly affect MCM operations. In areas where the bathymetry is highly variable, mines will be more difficult to locate since they may roll into depressions or against natural or man-made objects. Knowing bathymetry and bottom topography allows operators to decide if minesweeping (vice minehunting) is required. Seawater Properties . Sonar performance is dependent on seawater properties, including temperature, salinity, and background noise. Optical conditions are also important, particularly when attempting to classify targets. Turbid, sediment-filled waters limit visibility, making it more difficult for divers or Remotely-Operated Vehicles to identify targets. Turbidity may also limit the effectiveness of laser mine detection systems. Weather . Severe weather can affect vessels and aircraft performing MIW operations. The relatively small MCM and MHC vessels are particularly susceptible to bad weather that impairs their ability to transit and/or conduct operations. Wind and wave action-induced background noise and sediment dispersion also impact sensor employment. Beach Characteristics . A beach's orientation to open water; exposure to wind, waves, and swells; and gradient determine the nature of the nearshore bathymetry and surf. Such features affect mine employment and MCM techniques used against a potential mine threat.
