Problem to be solved: to provide a power generation apparatus capable of efficiently generating electricity by utilizing sea currents and tides. Solution: the sea water passage 6 which opens through the box body 1 and opens at the side opposite to the opposite end of the apparatus body 1, ...
“The ocean has a life of its own. Its tides, whirlpools, currents and eddies are a testament to its conflicting emotions.”– Anthony T. Hincks “I go to the ocean to calm down, to reconnect with the creator, to just be happy.”– Nnedi Okorafor “Every time you dive, you hope y...
or periodical (diurnal, tidal waves, tides…). The time series of monthly or annual averages are, consequently suitable, under investigation of the sea level long-term variations. However, the trend estimation raises a first question over the minimal length of the time series. Some authors ...
Projections of low-lying areas exposed to chronic flooding are mapped by combining daily maximum water level exceedance thresholds from predicted tides with the topography obtained from the DEM (“Methods”, SI Fig. 5,6 and SI Table 2). In the following we describe the Cayenne case but a ...
Mesoscale eddies, which contribute to long-distance water mass transport and biogeochemical budget in the upper ocean, have recently been taken into assessment of the deep-sea hydrodynamic variability. However, how such eddies influence sediment movement in the deepwater environment has not been explore...

Initially, the accuracy of the model is assessed by performing a detailed comparison of computed tidal elevations and currents in the region, against an extensive database that exists for the M 2 , S 2 , N 2 , K 1 and O 1 tides. Subsequently, the model is used to compute the tidal ...
Between April–August, 2017, an episodic sea level anomaly, combined with long-term SLR triggered (a) up to ~27 cm of difference between predicted tides and observed water levels66. This heightened water level led to (b) salt water intruding storm drains, (c) urban flooding, (d) wave...
Timing is a strong function of local tides, while location is determined by places where land elevation is currently close to local sea level, and hence can be temporarily flooded when the sea surface exceeds some threshold elevation (termed the nuisance flood level). Even moderate amounts of ...
