From the Preface: This monograph is the outcome of investigations
made by the staff of the Woods Hole Oceanographic
Institution for the Bureau of Ships, Navy
Department, during the years 1940-1946. Although
rapid progress in the improvement of
antifouling paints was being made by the Navy
paint laboratories at the time the work was initiated,
it was the belief of the Bureau that scientific
knowledge of the fouling process, and of the
way in which protective coatings acted, was inadequate.
We were consequently instructed to
explore the fundamental basis on which preventive
techniques must rest, rather than to attempt directly
to improve existing paint formulations. At
the same time every opportunity was afforded to
our staff to become familiar with current problems
and the means being employed to solve them. On
the termination of the work it has seemed desirable
to collect the results of our experience and
to review them in relation to the total existing
knowledge of the subject.

Baroclinic instability of a meridionally varying basic state
Meacham, Stephen P. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984-06)Several problems are addressed herein. They are loosely connected by the theme of resonant triad interactions. The main topic is the finite amplitude evolution of weakly unstable, linear eigenmodes in a meridionally ... -
The sediments of the continental shelf off the eastern coast of the United States
Stetson, Henry C. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1938-07)Our knowledge of clastic, shallow-water sediments over any considerable area of ocean floor is very generalized and leaves much to be desired. The notations concerning the character of the bottom found on all charts are ... -
System identification and state reconstruction for autonomous navigation of an underwater vehicle in an acoustic net
Morrison, Archie T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1994-01)Closed loop control of an underwater vehicle in an acoustic position net requires an accurate hydrodynamic model of the vehicle. The model is essential to the control algorithm design process. Further, it is an integral ...
