as enhanced ocean heat increases their basal melt. While the circulation of warm water has been documented on the East Antarctic continental shelf, the modes of warm water transport from the deep ocean onto the shelf are
Map of the Nordic Seas and marginal Arctic Ocean showing the modern oceanography and sea ice extent. ODP Site 907 (69°14.989′N, 12°41.894′W; ~1800 m water depth), ODP Hole 911A (80°28.466′N, 8°13.640′E; 902 m water depth) and other core locations discussed in the text...
Surface currents that flow from regions near the Equator carry warm water. Those that flow flow from the polar regions carry cold water. The map below shows the strong ocean current off the East Coast of the United States, called the Gulf Stream. D 因为他们可以帮助温暖或凉快的土地,表面潮流...
The context for this unusually warm water can be seen by comparing its temperature and salinity values to other regional water masses (Fig.3). As temperature and salinity are both largely conserved along water pathways in the ocean interior, Temperature–Salinity (T–S) plots are often used to...
(lighter) surface water in the BG. However, water of different densities may stably sit side by side in the ocean when the pressure force associated with density gradients is balanced by the Coriolis force acting on currents that flow perpendicular to density gradients, or along fronts27. This...
The three main currents in this area, the Oyashio, Kuroshio and Tsugaru Warm Current, and their associated fronts have a strong influence on pelagic fisheries. The path of the Oyashio's First and Second Intrusions determines the distribution and formation of cold water species' fishing grounds ...
because there is an enormous mass and momentum of moving water involved and water is an incompressible fluid which means that the change occurs over the whole flow pattern simultaneously. Therefore it is to be expected that the partitioning of heat to the north and south is subject to changes ...
The relation between lens translation speed and potential thickness anomaly in the second layer is investigated in a 2½-layer β-plane primitive model in the case of southward movement of lens-shaped eddies. The trapped dipole in the second layer under the lens generated by the initial westwar...
