Deep structure of the ocean-continent transition in the southern Iberia Abyssal Plain from seismic refraction profiles: Ocean Drilling Program (Legs 149 and 173) transect
(1999-04)We present a wide-angle seismic refraction study of an 80x40 km region of the southern Iberia Abyssal Plain, south of Galicia Bank. An intersecting grid of two E-W and four NS wide-angle reflection/refraction profiles is ... -
Deep structure of the ocean-continent transition in the southern Iberia Abyssal Plain from seismic refraction profiles: The IAM-9 transect at 40 degrees 20 ' N
(2000-03)We present a crust and mantle velocity structure for the West Iberia passive continental margin derived from a 320-km-long wide-angle seismic profile acquired in the southern Iberia Abyssal Plain. We observe a 170-km-wide ... -
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 ... -

The detection of coastal-trapped waves
(1991-02/15)The authors outline a simple method for estimating the cross-spectral matrix of coastal-trapped wave amplitudes, A, from a set of oceanographic observations. Specifically, they propose that A may be estimated by ... -
Dichloromethane in North Atlantic waters
(2004-09)[1] Dichloromethane is an atmospheric trace gas that has a tropospheric lifetime on the order of 5 months and has major anthropogenic sources. Evidence has been presented for an oceanic source. This paper reports measurements ... -
Direct observations of diel biological CO2 fixation on the Scotian Shelf, northwestern Atlantic Ocean
(2012)Much of the variability in the surface ocean's carbon cycle can be attributed to the availability of sunlight, triggering surface heat flux and photosynthesis, which in turn regulate the biogeochemical cycling of carbon ... -
Dissolved organic phosphorus concentrations in the northeast subarctic Pacific Ocean
(1992)Shipboard determinations of dissolved organic P (DOP) concentrations were made for NE subarctic Pacific Ocean samples with three different oxidation-hydrolysis methods: UV irradiation, acid persulfate digestion, and a ... -
Distribution of N2O in the Baltic Sea during transition from anoxic to oxic conditions
(2006)In January 2003, a major inflow of cold and oxygen-rich North Sea Water terminated an ongoing stagnation period in parts of the central Baltic Sea. In order to investigate the role of North Sea Water inflow in the production ... -
Distributions and Photosynthesis of Phototrophs in Sea-Surface Films
(1989-07)No abstract available. -
Distributions of Pigments and Primary Production in a Gulf-Stream Meander
(1993-08)An investigation was made of physical effects of Gulf Stream meandering on the vertical and horizontal distributions of photosynthetic pigments and primary production. Cruises were conducted in the vicinity of a meander ... -
Early diagenesis in a marine sapropel, Mangrove Lake, Bermuda
(American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, Ann Arbor, MI, 1992-12)No abstract available. -
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 ... -

Effects of temperature and circulation on the population dynamics of Calanus finmarchicus in the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Scotian Shelf: Study with a coupled, three-dimensional hydrodynamic, stage-based life history model
(2003-11)We developed a physical-biological model for the Gulf of St. Lawrence (GSL) and Scotian Shelf (SS) by coupling a stage-based life-history model of the planktonic copepod Calanus finmarchicus to a three-dimensional ocean ... -
Enhanced ocean carbon storage from anaerobic alkalinity generation in coastal sediments
(European Geosciences Union, 2008-09)The coastal ocean constitutes the crucial link between land, the open ocean and the atmosphere. Furthermore, its shallow water column permits close interactions between the sedimentary and atmospheric compartments, which ... -
Estimating mixed layer nitrate in the North Atlantic Ocean
(2010)Here we present an equation for the estimation of nitrate in surface waters of the North Atlantic Ocean (40 degrees N to 52 degrees N, 10 degrees W to 60 degrees W). The equation was derived by multiple linear regression ... -
Estimating the monthly pCO(2) distribution in the North Atlantic using a self-organizing neural network
(2009)Here we present monthly, basin-wide maps of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO(2)) for the North Atlantic on a 1 degrees latitude by 1 degrees longitude grid for years 2004 through 2006 inclusive. The maps have ... -
Estimation of Low-Frequency Wind Stress Fluctuations Over the Open Ocean

Evidence for asymmetric nonvolcanic rifting and slow incipient oceanic accretion from seismic reflection data on the Newfoundland margin
(2006-09)[ 1] Prestack depth migrations of seismic reflection data collected around the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 210 transect on the Newfoundland nonvolcanic margin delineate three domains: ( 1) extended continental crust, ...
