Atlantic Ocean, body of salt water covering about one-fifth of Earth’s surface and separating the continents of Europe and Africa to the east from those of North and South America to the west. Its name, derived from Greek mythology, means the ‘Sea of A
August 2023 China revealed a revised map of its territory in the South China Sea, which claimed an even larger portion of the sea. A 10th dash was added to include the island of Taiwan and nearly the entirety of the Spratly Islands as Chinese territory. Several countries rejected the map....
Since 2018, the team has contributed to the 4.0 IBCAO map with data mainly obtained through the multibeam bathymetry in oceanographic campaigns in the Arctic, specially in the western area in the Barents Sea, "a volunteering collaboration to benefit science and knowledge," Miquel Canals says. In...
Details of a new depth map of the Arctic Ocean have been published in the Nature Journal Scientific Data. The new portrayal of the Arctic Ocean floor is in the form of a digital gridded database and comprises Version 4.0 of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO). ...
During the last few years efforts have therefore been made to map this important succession in the Danish and adjoining areas. The stratigraphic interval mapped comprises the Chalk Group of Cenomanian to Danian ages and its stratigraphically equivalent units. The north-eastern limit of the Chalk ...
Moho map of South America from receiver functions and surface waves We estimate crustal structure and thickness of South America north of roughly 40°S. To this end, we analyzed receiver functions from 20 relatively new tem... S Lloyd,SVD Lee,GS Frana,... - 《Journal of Geophysical Research...
The BAS published map covers the area of the South Sandwich subduction system situated in the East Scotia Sea, South Atlantic, between ca. 55.1° S and 61.9° S, and 24° W and 32° W. The primary data are multibeam echosounder bathymetry collected from scientific cruises undertaken by ...
The mighty Himalaya were now a sparkling relief map spread out before us and garnished with a gleaming lattice work of swirling glaciers. Even Cho Oyu, Lhotse and Makalu, all 8,000-meter giants, were dwarfed. To the east and west, Kanchenjunga and Shishapangma, two more great sentinels ...
Data on the position and attitude of the camera/turret were used to map the image data to a rectilinear coordinate system at the level of the surface, effectively separating the spatial and temporal modulations due to the waves. The resulting three-dimensional (3-D) space-time data sets were...
Annual precipitation is 20 inches (500 mm) in the south but only half that in the north. The North Cape and Spitsbergen branches of the Norway Current bring warm currents into the sea, but heat is lost in mixing with colder waters. Despite the high salinity (34 parts per 1,000), ice...
