A directional wave gage consisting of a two-axis electromagnetic
current meter and a pressure sensor, developed by Sea Data
Corporation, with modifications specified by the author, was
successfully deployed during the joint NOAA/U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers Coastal Engineering Research Center's Atlantic Remote
Sensing Land/Ocean Experiment (ARSLOE) during November, 1980. Data
recovery rate was 100%, and instrument function was verified through
comparison with a four-element pressure sensor array at the same
location, an X-band imaging radar, and with surface meteorological
observations charting developing local wave fields. The instrument
was proven to be a viable alternative for point measurements of
directional wave fields and for estimating the first five fourier
coefficients in a directional wave model.

Novel analytical strategies for tracing the organic carbon cycle in marine and riverine particles
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2017-02)Particulate organic carbon (POC) in the ocean and mobilized by rivers on land transfers ~0.1% of global primary productivity to the deep ocean sediments. This small fraction regulates the long-term carbon cycle by removing ... -
Understanding terrestrial organic carbon export : a time-series approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2017-02)Terrestrial organic carbon (OC) erosion, remineralization, transport through river networks, and burial in marine sediments is a major pathway of the global carbon cycle. However, our ability to constrain these processes ... -
Coral reef soundscapes : spatiotemporal variability and links to species assemblages
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2017-02)Coral reefs are biodiverse ecosystems that are at risk of degradation as a result of environmental changes. Reefs are constantly in a state of flux: the resident species assemblages vary considerably in space and time. ...
