ADCP backscatter measurements in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico: comparison of near-surface with near-bottom biological backscatter
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
In the Gulf of Mexico, acoustic backscatter intensity (ABI) from an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) can be a proxy for zooplankton and micronekton biomass, and sperm whale abundance is correlated with regions of ...
Classification of surficial sediments: North-Central and Eastern Gulf of Mexico
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The surface sediments in the North-Central and Eastern Gulf of Mexico can be appropriately characterized by physical property analysis, especially by comparison of wet-bulk density. Two hundred and eighty, 1-5 meter cores ...
The orientation and distribution of sea fans on hardbottom habitats of the Mississippi/Alabama continental shelf
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
Analysis of the densities and orientations of five common taxa of gorgonian and antipatharian sea fans was performed within five study areas on the Mississippi/Alabama continental shelf. Colonies exhibited a strong preference ...
Elements of tropical Pacific decadal variability
(Texas A&M University, 2003)
The evolution of decadal variability in the tropical Pacific is investigated using a global assimilation reanalysis. At the nexus of this study are monthly means of an ocean general circulation model coupled with a data ...
