A new measurement of CO sub(2) eddy flux in the nearshore atmospheric surface layer
(1991)
Fluxes of CO sub(2) in the atmospheric surface layer have been measured at a shoreline site by the eddy correlation method using a new CO sub(2) sensor with greater sensitivity than the ones used in earlier studies. In ...
Effect of the nonlinearity of the carbonate system on partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the oceans
(1995-04)
Partial pressure of CO sub(2) is a nonlinear function of several seawater properties. Due to the nonlinearity in this relationship, the partial pressure of a uniform ocean would be different from that of a nonuniform ocean ...
Photosynthetic characteristics and estimated growth rates indicate grazing is the proximate control of primary production in the Equatorial Pacific
(1992)
Macronutrients persist in the surface layer of the equatorial Pacific Ocean because the production of phytoplankton is limited. Measurements of photosynthesis as a function of irradiance (P-I) provide information on the ...
New production in the warm waters of the Tropical Pacific Ocean
(1994)
The average depth-integrated rate of new production in the tropical Pacific Ocean was estimated from a calculation of horizontal and vertical nitrate balance over the region enclosed by the climatological 26 degree C ...
A relationship between heat transfer to sea ice and temperature-salinity properties of Arctic Ocean waters
(1988)
It is demonstrated that the characteristic temperature-salinity relationship shown by thermocline waters of the Arctic Ocean can be reproduced using a simple model based on transfer of heat directly from these waters to ...
A description of water types on the Mackenzie Shelf of the Beaufort Sea during winter
(1992)
For a number of years during the 1980s, observations of the physical and chemical properties of seawater in the southeastern Beaufort Sea have been acquired in late winter. The most complete data set, from 1987, has been ...
Madden-Julian Oscillation and sea level: Local and remote forcing
(American Geophysical Union, 2010-01)
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is the dominant mode of atmospheric variability in the tropical atmosphere on intraseasonal time scales (i.e., weeks to seasons). This study examines the connection between the MJO and ...
A modified galerkin-spectral model for three-dimensional, barotropic, wind-driven shelf circulation
(1993)
The authors describe an efficient numerical scheme for calculating wind-driven currents on the continental shelf. Our scheme is based on the spectral approach introduced by Heaps and subsequently modified by Lardner. The ...
Surface heat flux, horizontal advection, and the seasonal evolution of water temperature on the Scotian Shelf
(1994)
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 ...
Mechanisms Influencing the Timing and Success of Reproductive Migration in a Capital Breeding Semelparous Fish Species, the Sockeye Salmon
(University of Chicago Press, P.O. Box 37005 Chicago IL 60637 USA,
[mailto:help@press.uchicago.edu], [URL:http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/], 2009)
Two populations of homing sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka; Adams and Chilko) were intercepted
in the marine approaches around the northern and southern ends of Vancouver Island (British
Columbia, Canada) en route to ...
