A review of the geological, environmental and the socio-economic situation of the island, and the record of tropical cyclones since 1911, shows why the local population has become increasingly vulnerable to storm events and rising sea level. Tropical cyclones may form locally in the southwestern ...
Sea-level changes in coasts and estuaries may differ substantially from global mean sea-level variations, showing complex spatial patterns which result from coastal-ocean dynamic processes, movements of the sea floor, and changes in gravity due to water mass redistribution. Because dominant hydrodynamic...
In this study of effects of simulated altitude exposure on sea-level performance, 10 competitive runners slept in a hypoxic environment achieved with tents for 9.8±1.3 h.d −1 (mean±standard deviation) for 24 days-30 days at 2500–3500 m (PIO 2=117−103 mmHg) above sea level. The...
mercury (Hg)The Caspian Sea is a unique aquatic ecosystem, as it is the largest lake in the world. Unfortunately, human activities, such as the offshore oil production and chlor-alkali industry, are continuously contaminating the Caspian Sea. The environmental health issue of mercury (Hg) ...

Here, we investigate decadal sea-level trends during the altimetry era and pin down the associated ocean circulation changes. We find that decadal subpolar gyre cooling (warming), strengthening (weakening), widening (shrinking) since the mid-2000s (early 1990s) resulted in negative (positive) ...
High flux values were caused by the northerly monsoon which carried remote clean air to the sea, with large wind speeds. The northerly monsoon is an important factor affecting the GEM transport offshore to marginal sea and the cycle of mercury in the sea in late autumn and winter. 展开 ...
This paper documents the correlationship between sea surface temperature (SST) and sea level wind (SLW) in the South China Sea ( SCS)based on COADS (1958-1987). Further statistical analysis shows that there is a fixed SCS basin mode for both SST and low level wind (such as SLW, 1000hPa...
The latter is also the preferred option when closing the sea level budget. For example, our results show that the combined contribution of the AIS and GrIS to SLR was negative in 1992 (−1.2 mm) and 1996 (−0.4 mm), while in, e.g., 2007 it was positive and very large at almost...
