North Pacific has decreased by more than 9 percent during the past 20 years, and by nearly 7 percent in the North Atlantic, Gregg and his colleagues determined from their satellite observations and shipboard surveys. Studies combining all the major ocean basins of the world have revealed the ...

Arctic Ocean, smallest of the world’s oceans, centering approximately on the North Pole. The Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas are the least-known basins and bodies of water in the world ocean as a result of their remoteness, hostile weather, and peren
Ocean basins Ocean basins are characterized by smooth, flat plains of thick sediment with abyssal hills (i.e., features that are less than 3,300 feet high) at the bottom flanks of the oceanic ridges. The Indian Ocean’s complex ridgetopographyled to the formation of many basins that range...
Nutrient dynamics, transfer and retention along the aquatic continuum from land to ocean: towards integration of ecological and biogeochemical models In river basins, soils, groundwater, riparian zones and floodplains, streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs act as successive filters in which the hydrolo...
2c). The largest enhancement occurs in the mid-latitude ocean basins, with an increase of up to 100 days. Decreases in annual CLH days are found in parts of the eastern tropical Pacific and high-latitude Southern Ocean. As a global average, the annual CLH days have increased significantly ...
Pacific freshwater, river water and sea ice meltwater across Arctic Ocean basins: Results from the 2005 Beringia Expedition [1] Pacific water, sea ice meltwater, and river water are the primary sources of freshwater in the Arctic Ocean. We have determined their relative fraction... EP Jones,...
Processing of shipborne magnetometer data and revision of the timing and geometry of the Mesozoic break-up of Gondwana Seafloor spreading anomalies in the world's ocean basins yield crucial information about the paleogeographic configuration of the continents and the develo...

In the mature subduction stage the expansion of ocean basins keeps compensation with the crustal shortening of the subduction,while opening of back-arc basins or marginal seas indicates the mature subduction stage. During the post-mature subduction stage, marginal sea micro-plates are narrowing and ...
supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast Line amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are (5) sucked into the atmosphere each year by evapora- tion and returned by precipitation and drainage to ...
