ocean currentsmicrowave SSTSQG theoryaltimetry measurementglobal oceanSailors and scientists have been charting ocean currents for centuries, yet even today, reliable, up-to-date maps of global surface currents for navigation or other operational uses are scarce....
Global data We used global data describing sea turtle nesting activity (SWOT34,35and WIDECAST36), waves, wind, sea surface temperature, and precipitation (ERA537), tide and surge levels (GTSM38), ocean currents (ORAS539), geomorphology and coastal land use (GCC40), and the distribution of...
With effective control of point source pollution, non-point source (NPS) pollution has been widely concerned as the primary reason for the improvement of global water environmental quality. Some bibliometric analysis related to NPS pollution has been car
Trade winds:Persistent, easterly surface winds blow from subtropical high-pressure areas toward the equator, carrying moist air from the ocean to the land. So, how do these factors interact to form the global precipitation map visualized above?
Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwelling determines large-scale oceanic circulation properties like heat and
Salinity changes can affect AMOC strength and stability, as well as other ocean currents. The melting of ice caps or more rain can add fresh water to the ocean, reducing salinity and making surface waters less likely to sink. It can slow down the AMOC and change the weather around it. On...
Rene Thom, the French mathematician, created a non-linear topology to map these phenomena in Structural Stability and Morphogenesis (1975, English translation)60 introducing the term 'chaos' and modelling seven ways that systems could shift their stable structure to morphogenesis. Thom modelled these ...
which can be ma-nipulated by both biological knowledge and the knowledge of data processing.The objective is“to geolocalize the specificity of their persons, to re-create theirvital trajectories on the world’s newly unfolded map”(Oloixarac 2019:“Piera”).The result is a sort of digital ...
Surface air temperature anomalies in the zonally redistributed heat flux simulations. The NP-Cool/NA-Warm simulation (a) prescribes a negative heat flux perturbation in North Pacific (−1 W/m2global) compensated with an equivalent positive North Atlantic Q-flux perturbation (+1 W/m2global)...
Pollution caused by anthropogenic chemicals contributes to interlinked planetary crises, together with climate change and biodiversity loss. One of the key treaties adopted to regulate the transboundary movements of hazardous chemicals is the Rotterdam C
