Thousands ofcore samplesofmarine sediment, some more than 130 feet (40 metres) in length, have been collected in the North and South Atlantic by means of piston-coring tubes. These cores have revealed the importance ofturbidity currents—occasional catastrophic torrents of sediment-laden, and hence...
Among the many different forms of land-derived muds (formed by the erosive action of rivers, tides, and currents) that floor the continental shelves and slopes of the Pacific, the yellow mud of theYellow Seais of particular interest. The mud isconveyedto the seabed by the Huang He, which...
1. Earth NullSchool Ocean Currents Map Earth Null School is best known for its cool wind and temperature visualizations of our planet. But a little lesser-known web map fromEarth Nullschoolis their ocean currents map. As you can see, hot water flows to the poles from the equator. For examp...
Fig. 3. Potential (A) temperature, (B) salinity, and (C) density (sigma-0) along the Greenwich meridian. The density gradients that identify the positions of strong geostrophic currents are directly linked to the wind in the Southern Ocean. Because of the Earth's rotation, the Southern Oce...
Links to sea surface temperature data in the Atlantic basin. Also includes links to buoy and ship observations.
Figure 4b presents a global map of the estimated M2 tidal winds (similar results are found for other main constituents). Not surprisingly, it reveals the presence of tidal winds mainly in coastal areas with wide shelves, where tidal currents are strongest. According to this estimate, M2 tidal ...
An ocean surface currents forecasting system, based on a Self-Organizing Maps (SOM) neural network algorithm, high-frequency (HF) ocean radar measurements and numerical weather prediction (NWP) products, has been developed for a coastal area of the northern Adriatic and compared with operational ROM...
内容提示: Ocean Current Worksheet Temperature Affects and Surface Currents: Surface waters of the Earth’s oceans are forced to move, primarily by winds. Where winds blow in the same direction for a long period of time, currents will develop that transport large masses of water over considerable...
The multifractal structure of satellite temperature images can be used to obtain global maps of ocean currents. Ocean. Sci. 2009, 5, 447–460. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [Green Version] Valdez-Holguin, J.E.; Lara-Lara, J.R. Primary productivity in the gulf of california effects of el...
Long-term cross-correlational structures are examined for pairs of sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) and advective forcing parameters and sea surface height anomalies (SSHAs) and current velocity anomalies (CVAs) in the East/Japan Sea (EJS); all
