The Alenuihaha Channel lies between the Big Island of Hawaii and Maui. Its maximum depth is 6,810 feet (2,076 m) and it spans 29.6 miles (47.6 km). In the Hawaiian language, alenuihaha means "great billows smashing. Alalakeiki Channel The Alalakeiki Channel lies between Kahoolawe and M...
Results During a 102-day deployment, 1350 geolocations were obtained from a shark from waters around Oahu, Hawaii. Of these, 520 were associated with depth-temperature profiles-some of which were from depths exceeding 500 m. Delay between profile creation and transmission to satellite or land-...
The ocean model has 62 vertical levels with a maximum depth of 6,000 m. The simulation consists of a 500 yr pre-industry control (PI-CTRL) simulation and a 250 yr HF-TNST simulation, following the design protocol of the CMIP5 experiments. For the PI-CTRL simulation, the ocean ...
The map on their front page shows the location of over a thousand buoys around the world, some of which are from the NDBC and many others from other agencies. You can click an icon to view a little bit of information from each buoy. You can click "View Details" to view in-depth inf...
1). The instruments’ depths range from 100 m below the surface to 200 m above the seafloor with a maximum of 6431 m depth. Finally, data within 5° of the equator were discarded to avoid complications with the longer inertial periods at very low latitudes. The time evolution of ...
The result was that this layer could not be at the center of Europa or deep in the silicates; it must be within kilometers of the surface with an electrical conductivity implying a salinity with a large uncertainty of two orders of magnitude (dependent on ocean depth) up to and including ...
A well-known estimate of the vertical diffusion coefficient was proposed in a classic paper by Munk1; based on the global balance of ocean tracers such as temperature, salinity, and radiocarbon (Δ14C), a typical Kv value at a depth of around 1000 m was estimated to be about 1 ×...
The average depth of the oceans is about 3,500 m/ 11,482 ft. However, the depth of the oceans varies widely depending on the location on the tectonic plates. Ocean trenches are deep depressions on the ocean floor that are found in all ocean basins and the places where tectonic plates me...
an ocean bordered by the American continents, Asia, and Australia: largest ocean in the world; divided by the equator into the North Pacific and the South Pacific. 70,000,000 sq. mi. (181,300,000 sq. km); greatest known depth, 35,433 ft. (10,800 m). ...
Too impatient to descend slowly? While making a flying leap into the crystalline water may seem a poor choice, at 90 feet in depth, the salt water pool offers a perfectly safe opportunity for those bold enough to give it a go. Should acts of bravado prove less appealing, paddling the tur...
