The correlation of oceanic parameters with light attenuation in Monterey Bay, California /

Abstract

ABSTRACT

A study of light attenuation in Monterey Bay, California

“…The temporal changes in these isolines may be attributed to tidal fluctuations as suggested by Yeske and Waer [26] as well as biological causes and internal waves. Again, in order to get high resolutions of temporal change, more frequent casts must be made.…”

“…Yeske and Waer [26] and Baker [2] found high levels of beam attenuation in the thermocline and pycnocline. With Chemical Parameters…”

California Undersea Aqueduct Reconnaissance: the Oceanography (CUARO)

“…Six reports gave alphameter measurements, five of which fell in the area between Monterey and San Francisco and the sixth between Santa Barbara and La Jolla. These reports were Baker [1970], Drake [1970], Labyak [1969], Shepard [1970], Soluri [1971], and Yeske and Waer [1968].…”

The comparison of oceanic parameters with light attenuation in the waters between San Francisco Bay and Monterey Bay, California

“…Yeske and Waer [22] in their study of Joseph [12,p66] points out that where the thermocline is scattered due to the sea, the turbidity may also be "decomposed", i.e. when the thermocline disappears the layer of turbid water within it also breaks up.…”

“…[22] and of Bassett and Furminger [3], dealt only with the Monterey Bay area. Two others, the Bay-Delta study [7] and that of Labyak [14] Labyak' s in that the same area was looked at with respect to basically the same parameters, but during the Oceanic Period.…”
