199, Oceanography Department, Humboldt State University.
Directed study under Dr. R. W. Thompson concerning late spring

bayward side of South Spit, Humboldt Bay. Appendices contain color
Polaroid pictures of study site and aerial photos from 1966, 1962, 1958

Cooper, C., and Fredrick, M. (1985). "Tidal Pumping in Humboldt Bay," OCN
199, Oceanography Department, Humboldt State University.
Directed study. A student report on current measurements at the
connection between Entrance Bay and South Bay that illustrates some
interesting features of the flows during tidal reversals.
