In this complex region, it will not be useful to discuss in detail the relations between shelf areas and oceanic depths; these can be better understood simply by examining a simple bathymetric map of the province (Fig. 11.14). The differences between deep and shallow channels should be noted,...
Click an active storm on the map on the main page and you will access a display with a wide variety of features that allow you to easily overlay storm specific data. In the map below the map with current storms, you can hover your mouse over a region to access other imagery, including...
Although smaller than the enormous features of the Roraima, some of the most widespread towered ruiniform sandstones in the world are scattered across more than 2000 km of the seasonally arid tropical savannas of northern Australia, from the Kimberley region of Western Australia to northern Queensla...
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...
For the purposes of our study we delimited tropical forests according to the ‘tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests’ biome delineation from the World Wildlife Fund ecoregion map60. The total number of tropical trees ≥10 cm trunk diameter in each of our regions was then estimated...
Thus, the detected weakened vertical wind shear in the southern portion of the KP region during the Period 2 is a favorable environment for increased peak TC intensity in the KP region. Figure 4 Changes in the large-scale environment. (a), (d), (g) Composite map of vertical wind shear ...
Low-pressure systems over the Indian region are classified based on the maximum sustained wind speed and the pressure deficit/number of closed isobars associated with the system. The pressure criteria are used when the system is over land and wind criteria is used when the system is over the ...
Take a look at the following map of the world, which shows some of the biggest deserts on the planet: Deserts of the world Notice that most deserts are located near either the Tropic of Cancer (the Sahara desert, the Iranian desert, the Thar desert and the North American desert) or the...
This is best exemplified by suitable habitat being estimated along the west coast of Africa: although coral communities are known to exist in this region, local environmental conditions (e.g. upwelling and siliclastic shedding) prevent the formation of ‘true reefs’ here82,83. Whilst thermal ...
Parts of the Guiana Shield region and much of the southwestern Amazon in Brazil and Peru have recently experienced annual climates similar to the historic baseline. In Africa, parts of the western Congo Basin, southwest Cameroon and the western Gulf of Guinea coastline have relatively stable ...
