A Time Series From The Beach Environment-Ii, Wyman Harrison, L. E. Fausak Jan 1970

A Time Series From The Beach Environment-Ii, Wyman Harrison, L. E. Fausak

Reports

This work is the second in a continuing series of time-series data reports to be published periodically as a result of field investigations in the beach-ocean-atmosphere system by Dr. Wyman Harrison and his associates. The first report was published as Technical Memorandum ERLTM-AOL 1 of ESSA's Atlantic Oceanographic Laboratories. This series of reports will allow other researchers to test hypotheses or to experiment with analytical procedures without going through the expensive and somewhat arduous task of obtaining the data.

The Beach Water Table As A Response Variable Of The Beach-Ocean-Atmosphere System, Leland Edward Fausak Jan 1970

The Beach Water Table As A Response Variable Of The Beach-Ocean-Atmosphere System, Leland Edward Fausak

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Fluctuations of the water table in a marine beach over a rising half-tide cycle were investigated as a function of variations in local still water level, swash runup distance, distance of a sampling station from the shoreline, and atmospheric pressure. The data were taken from a 30-day time series of observations of environmental variables taken at Virginia Beach, Virginia, during August and September, 1969. Sequential linear multiple regression analyses were used to rank the process variables in order of importance in each of 13 water-table monitoring wells spaced along a transect transverse to the shoreline . Results showed that tidal …


Utilization Of Physical And Mathematical Models In Marine Water Resources Research, Planning And Management : A Final Report, Willliam J. Hargis Jr. Jan 1970

Utilization Of Physical And Mathematical Models In Marine Water Resources Research, Planning And Management : A Final Report, Willliam J. Hargis Jr.

Reports

During the period 1 September 1967 to 30 September 1969, Virginia Institute of Marine Science personnel were engaged in hydraulic model studies, mathematical and computer studies; and instrument and technique development. An investigation was made into the stability and reproducibility of an estuarine hydraulic model.

Studies were made of the dispension of point-source dye releases in an estuarine hydraulic model, and of the applicability of the results to the release of disease-resistant seed oysters.

Analytical studies were made of diffusion in estuaries and of the integro-differential equations for estuarine 'flow. Computer studies were made of two-dimensional estuarine circulation and of …

Origin Of Mound Structures Within The Salt Marsh Of Parramore Island, Virginia, Jonathan P. Cooper Jan 1970

Origin Of Mound Structures Within The Salt Marsh Of Parramore Island, Virginia, Jonathan P. Cooper

Reports

The small circular mounds on Parramore Island have puzzled many people because of their amazing circularity and apparent lack of any trend but a south-southwest trend following the present coastline. In the middle of the island, aerial photographs show that the mounds generally decrease in size near their northern limit and the bare sandy tops disappear as the smaller mounds are completely covered with trees. The southernmost mounds are completely surrounded by salt marsh facies as compared to the dune facies in which the mounds are located to the north.

There has been much speculation as to the origin of …

Taxonomy And Distribution Of Western Atlantic Bittium (Gastropoda: Mesogastropoda), Ella May Thomson Wulff Jan 1969

Taxonomy And Distribution Of Western Atlantic Bittium (Gastropoda: Mesogastropoda), Ella May Thomson Wulff

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The genus Bittium in the Western Atlantic was studied to determine the number and distribution of extant species. Shells of adults and juveniles collected from Brazil to Canada, including the type specimens of B. virginicum, were examined and compared on the basis of length, lengthwidth ratio and varix presence or absence. Although intergrades of B. alternatum and B. varium probably existed in the middle Chesapeake Bay, along the Atlantic shores of the Delmarva Peninsula and New Jersey, and in western Long Island Sound prior to 1940, B. alternatum is now found from Shark River, New Jersey, northward and B. varium …

Quantitative Analysis Of Beach Sand Movement, Virginia Beach, Virginia, John D. Boon Jan 1968

Quantitative Analysis Of Beach Sand Movement, Virginia Beach, Virginia, John D. Boon

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

The present study describes a new approach to quantitative sediment tracing with dyed (fluorescent) particles, which can be used to obtain estimates of grain velocity, estimates of mobile layer thickness, and estimates of the rate of longshore sand transport.A simplified stochastic-process model was employed Involving the use of statistical procedures to analyze tracer displacement data on a time-stratified basis. The procedures provide meaningful estimates of the direction and magnitude of the movement of beach sand through set Intervals of time.

Results of a single tracer experiment are reported from a beach located near Virginia Beach, Virginia. The tracer particle-displacement data …
