  • Methyl iodide in the NW Atlantic; spatial and seasonal variation 

    This article first appeared in: Wang, Lu, Robert M. Moore, and John J. Cullen. 2009. "Methyl iodide in the NW Atlantic; spatial and seasonal variation." Journal of Geophysical Research 114(C7): 07007-Citation C07007. DOI: 10.1029/2007JC004626
    While the global ocean is an important source of atmospheric methyl iodide (CH (sub 3) I), the major producers of CH (sub 3) I within the ocean remain unclear. During a seasonal study in the NW Atlantic, the relationship ...

  • Rate of growth of isolated bubbles in sediments with a diagenetic source of methane 

    Boudreau, Bernard P., Bruce S. Gardiner, and Bruce D. Johnson. 2001. "Rate of growth of isolated bubbles in sediments with a diagenetic source of methane." Limnology and Oceanography 46(3): 616-622.
    Observation of bubbles in estuarine and coastal sediments indicates that bubbles at or below 10 cm depth grow on seasonal time scales (May-October). In order to determine the controls on this growth rate, we have constructed ...

  • Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean 

    Oliver, E. C. J., and K. R. Thompson. 2011. "Sea level and circulation variability of the Gulf of Carpentaria; influence of the Madden-Julian Oscillation and the adjacent deep ocean." Journal of Geophysical Research 116(C2): 02019-Citation C02019. DOI: 10.1029/2010JC006596
    The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is a significant contributing factor to intraseasonal variability in both the tropical and extratropical atmosphere and ocean. Sea level and circulation variations in the Gulf of Carpentaria ...

  • Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf 

    Umoh, JU, and K. R. Thompson. 1994. "Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf." Journal of Geophysical Research.C.Oceans 99(10): 20-20,416. DOI: 10.1029/94JC01620
    Seasonal temperature variations on the Scotian Shelf penetrate to a depth of about 75 m. The net surface heat flux (Q) can explain about 85% of the annual cycle in the rate of change of mean temperature over this depth ...
