DOWNLOAD EBOOKA detailed oceanographic survey of the coastal waters between Monterey Bay and San Francisco Bay, California, was conducted from 10 through 18 May 1969. Measurements of beam transmittance, sound velocity, temperature, and particulate count were obtained. Over 500 water samples were taken for particulate analysis. The optical properties of this region were found to be very complex. The waters appeared to be affected by flow from San Francisco Bay, littoral material, upwelling, and possibly sewage outfalls during the survey. A greater volume of water with low transmissivity and high particle count existed in the northern region of the survey area than in the southern region. An eddy system between Monterey Bay and Point Ano Nuevo was suggested. Approximately 90 percent of the particles affecting beam transmittance were less than 12 microns in diameter. Particle sizes were found to decrease with increased depths. A fairly good correlation of beam transmittance with particle count was observed except in near shore areas. (Author).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEighty-six oceanographic stations were occupied in the waters between Monterey Bay and San Francisco Bay during the period 7-14 November 1969. Values of beam transmittance, oxygen content, particulate count, and temperatures were obtained from the surface to 100 meters. These parameters were analyzed and compared by means of depth profiles, horizontal contours and vertical contours. The average sea surface temperature during this period was 14.44C. The northern part of Monterey Bay had the lowest values of beam transmittance and highest values of particulate count. The California Current appears to be flowing southward down the coast at depths above 60 meters and entering Monterey Bay where it sinks to a depth of at least 61 meters. Indications of downwelling are present off the coast between Pt. Ano Nuevo and Santa Cruz and this is attributed to the northward flowing Davidson URRENT IMPINGING ON THE SHORE ANDn Current impinging on the shore and sinKING. A layer of maximum particulate count was often found to exist within the thermocline. (Author).
