Analysis
of Meteorological and Oceanographic Data for Prince William
Sound, Alaska - This report, sponsored by the shipping
industry, depicts the climatology in Prince William Sound,
Alaska. It results from a study to assemble and analyze the
available meteorological and oceanographic data, so that oil
shipping corporations may identify those environmental and
operational conditions that limit the effectiveness of the
chosen response tactics in the event of an oil spill in Prince
William Sound. |

Biotelemetry
Options for Tracking and Monitoring Marine Organisms in Prince
William Sound and the Copper River Delta Region - This
paper is intended to provide a brief overview of the rich
and developing field of biotelemetry, or remote sensing of
mobile organisms, with specific reference to those organisms
that reside within and migrate through the Gulf of Alaska
and the Prince William Sound and Copper River delta ecosystem.
This paper can serve as an initial reference for those unfamiliar
with the field of biotelemetry and as a bridge to additional
information for those interested in furthering their understanding.
This paper includes a series of appendices with greater detail
on specific aspects of the field of biotelemetry including
a glossary of biotelemetry terms (Appendix A); a listing of
telemetry studies within the Gulf of Alaska (Appendix B);
a listing of larger acoustic telemetry programs (Appendix
C); and information on biotelemetry manufacturers (Appendix
D).

The Prince William Sound 2004 Lagrangian Field Experiment
- This 125-page report describes a two-week drifter buoy field
experiment conducted in central Prince William Sound (PWS)
in August 2004. During the 2004 Lagrangian Field Experiment,
10 surface drifters and 10 drifters drogued at 10 meters were
released from a central point in the Sound. They were then
tracked, telemetered and modeled in near real-time from a
base station at the Prince William Sound Science Center in
Cordova. The results were compared to several ocean circulation
and oil spill trajectory models. The final report describes
the methods and results and includes numerous figures and
drifter trajectories. (note: this is a large file – approx.
23 MB; you may also request a CD copy of the report to be

Advancing
Oil Spill Response in Ice-Covered Waters - This report
details a 2003 project identifying programs and research and
development projects that will improve the ability of responders
to deal with accidental oil spills in fresh or salt-water
marine environments where there is ice. The multi-phased project
concluded with a two-day workshop held in November 2003 in
Anchorage. This report, published in cooperation with the
Arctic Research Commission, summarizes and prioritizes the
projects reviewed both before the workshop and at the workshop.
