OceanographyAbstract
This report responds to an invitation of the National
Marine Fisheries Service, Northeast Fisheries Center in which the author was asked to report on the
present knowledge of oceanography of Massachusetts Bay and
vicinity. We have attempted herein to describe the temperature-
salinity cycle and the current system and to provide a
comprehensive annotated bibliography on hydrography, chemistry
and sea level for Massachusetts Bay.

How many of each type ... -
The importance of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) in the nitrogen cycle of coastal ecosystems
Giblin, Anne E.; Tobias, Craig R.; Song, Bongkeun; Weston, Nathaniel; Banta, Gary T.; Rivera-Monroy, Victor H. (The Oceanography Society, 2013-09)Until recently, it was believed that biological assimilation and gaseous nitrogen (N) loss through denitrification were the two major fates of nitrate entering or produced within most coastal ecosystems. Denitrification ... -
Women in Oceanography : a web site for students, teachers, scientists, and the general public
Smith, Deborah K.; Schiele, Edwin; Dolby, Lori (Oceanography Society, 2005-03)In 1999 as the millennium was drawing to a close, we decided that the time was right to introduce a new type of web site highlighting the contributions that women are making to marine science. We envisioned a web site ...
