A new power plant offshore converts the temperature difference between sea surface and deep waters into electricity
Average ocean temperature differences (at water depths of between 20m and 1000m) around the main Hawaiian Islands for the period July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2009 This small difference translates to 15 percent more power for an OTEC plant, says the University of Hawaii's Gérard Nihous, ...
The apparent dominant time scale in the Deep Water was near 2 years, and close to 3 years in the Bottom Water. Previous observations of interannual baroclinic Rossby waves in the North Pacific are suggested as an explanation for the deep ocean interannual temperature variability....
Mass coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) in Australia between 2016 and 2024 was driven by high sea surface temperatures (SST)1. The likelihood of temperature-induced bleaching is a key determinant for the future threat status of the GBR2, but the long-term context of recent temp...
The seasonal influence of land plants is obvious in the following diagram, which shows atmospheric CO 2 in parts per million (ppm) for Mauna Loa, Hawaii. Because carbon dioxide is 30 times more soluble in water than are most common gases, the ocean contains most of the carbon dioxide in...
Four Seasons Resort Hualalai offers convenient access to a variety of water activities from outrigger canoeing to stand-up paddleboarding, snorkelling & more.
"The floats will measure temperature, salinity, and pressure in the upper 300 m of the ocean, profiling every 1-2 hours for several weeks." These can be dropped ahead of a storm so that they can measure the water temperature before and after passage of a storm. You can view more about...
The upper 155 m of the mooring is outfitted with oceanographic sensors for the measurement of temperature, conductivity and velocity. The WHOTS mooring turnaround was done on the University of Hawaii research vessel Kilo Moana, Cruise KM-09-16. The cruise took place 9-17 July 2009. This ...
