Ocean circulationAbstract
The principal lectures of this twelfth Summer Program were
given by Joseph Pedlosky of the University of Chicago. On the following
page one sees Dr. Pedlosky demonstrating advanced effects
caused by rotation and stratification. Only in his last few lectures
do these novel phenomena emerge from the analysis.

Predicting sonic pulse shapes of underwater spark discharges
Caulfield, David D. (Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1962-03)Measurements of the acoustic pressure of spark discharges were made at a shallow depth (10 feet) for various voltages, stored energies, inductances and capacitances of the system, and electrode areas. The voltages ranged ... -
Baroclinic vortices over a sloping bottom
LaCasce, Joseph H. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1996-09)Nonlinear quasigeostrophic flows in two layers over a topographic slope are considered. The evolution depends on the size of two parameters which indicate the degree of nonlinearity at depth. The first measures the ... -
Evaluating mantle and crustal processes using isotope geochemistry
Saal, Alberto E. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1999-09)Geochemical studies are fundamental for understanding how the dynamic Earth works and evolves. These studies place constraints on the composition, formation, age, distribution, evolution and scales of geochemically ...
