Earth's Oceans on a World Wall Map: The Earth's Oceans and nearly 200 countries are illustrated on our Blue Ocean Laminated Map of the World. This map shows a combination of political and physical features. It includes country boundaries, major cities, major mountains in shaded relief, ocean...
A nicely executed physical world wall map featuring the Pacific Ocean oriented in the center, otherwise known as a "Pacific Rim" view. Easily identify world elevations with this colorfully shaded topographic map of the world. The up-to-date map incorporates eye-catching visual relief of terrain...
discern natural features such as rivers, mountains, and forests. Ocean bathymetry is based on the GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) data sets. The source resolution of this map is 30 arc-seconds (1 pixel per km at the equator). Political borders are demarcated using red ...
Among the global mapping of lee wave generation, a missing piece exists in the northwestern Pacific Ocean (NPO), which features complex topographies and energetic circulations. This study applies Bell's theory to estimate and map internal lee waves generated by geostrophic flows in ...
subsurface of the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean, based on which the evolving seatemperature anomaly at this depth map from 1960 to 2000 was statistically analyzed.It is noted that the evolving sea temperature anomaly at this depth map can be better analyzed than the evolving sea surface one...
lines represent the 28.5 °C isotherm that defines the modern Western Pacific Warm Pool. The map was generated by Ocean Data View software using the temperature data from World Ocean Atlas 2013 and colors represent the statistical mean of annual sea surface temperature (SST) from 1955 to ...
1b,d,f). The climatology of the ocean salinity at 5 m (Fig. 1g) is compared to years 1900–1950 of the CMCC Historical Ocean Reanalysis (CHOR)32 (Fig. 1g). These reanalysis time periods are chosen so that they are as close to preindustrial conditions as possible. We note that ...
Potential biological responses to basin-scale climate forcing in the subtropical North Pacific Ocean are assessed based on temporal variations in plankton community structure observed at Station ALOHA and results of a coupled physical-biogeochemical model. Observational data and model simulations for the pe...

Pacific Islands, geographic region of the Pacific Ocean. It comprises three ethnogeographic groupings—Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia—but conventionally excludes Australia, the Indonesian, Philippine, and Japanese archipelagoes, and the Ryukyu, Bo
