PHYSICAL, CHEMICAL, AND BIOLOGICAL DATA FROM THE NORTHEAST PACIFIC OCEAN: COLUMBIA RIVER EFFLUENT AREA, JANUARY-JUNE 1963. VOLUME 1. BROWN BEAR CRUISE 318: 27 FEBRUARY-20 MARCH ACONA CRUISE 6301-E: 24-25 JANUARY

Abstract

The six volume report contains oceanographic data collected by the University of Washington Department of Oceanography and other agencies during the months of January to June 1963. The research cruises are part of a continuing series designed to provide data for a year-round study of the water characteristics along the Washington-Oregon coast with special emphasis on the fresh water entering the system from the Columbia River. The objectives of this study are to determine the gross features of the movement and dispersion of Columbia River effluent water in the open sea off the mouth of the river and along the adjacent coast, and ultimately to ascertain the probable fate of any radioactive material that might be associated with the effluent or with river- borne materials.
