East Australian Current, surface oceanic current, a section of the counterclockwise flow in the Tasman Sea, southwestern Pacific Ocean. It is formed by water masses from the Coral Sea—equatorial water driven by monsoonal winds from January to March and eastward subtropical flow from April to Decem...
Brazil Current, branch of the Atlantic South Equatorial Current, flowing southward in the South Atlantic Ocean along the eastern coast of South America from Cape St. Roque, Brazil, to about latitude 30°–40° S, where the northward-flowing Falkland Current deflects it to the east. The curre...
Upper-ocean fronts and eddies are dynamic features that importantly contribute to mesoscale variability, coupled physical-biochemical processes, and rapid changes in air-sea interaction. Such features are usually manifested by the sea surface temperature pattern and chlorophyll-aconcentration, in thermal in...
Its northern source waters are both the tropical Indian Ocean and the ITF. As it flows southward, it retains a high temperature core and therefore transports a significant amount of heat to the south. As it moves southward, the Leeuwin Current becomes saltier, reaching about 35.7 psu at 33...
Increased typhoon activity in the Pacific deep tropics driven by Little Ice Age circulation changes Article 16 November 2020 Introduction Tropical cyclones (TCs) obtain their energy from the ocean in the form of enthalpy flux1,2,3 which is driven in large part by the sea surface temperature (...
Net primary production (NPP) is the foundation of the oceans’ ecosystems and the fisheries they support. In the Arctic Ocean, NPP is controlled by a complex interplay of light and nutrients supplied by upwelling as well as lateral inflows from adjacent

Distribution map (presence data) of O. asperrima, O. bisotunensis, O. kotschyi, O. platyphylla, and O. straussii in Iran is shown in Figure 2. The point inputs to the models developed in this study were collected from their habitats in the west and southwest of Iran such as Fars,...
Multi-channel seismic reflection data acquired in the Pacific Ocean off the Muroto peninsula of Shikoku Island, Japan reveal the two-dimensional distribution of fine structures in the Kuroshio Current. Eighty-one seismic sections, each extending 80 km perpendicular to the current and separated by 100...
In large frogs, in which the nerves were from 50-60 mm. in length, and which were preserved at a temperature of 2-6° C, although the temperature of the observation chanber was between 11° and 150° C, the elapsed time was 0.0014 to 0.0020 of a second. ...
