Seismic study of the transform-rifted margin in Davis Strait between Baffin Island (Canada) and Greenland: What happens when a plume meets a transform
(2007-04)[ 1] The Davis Strait transform margin was studied using a 630-km-long wide-angle reflection/ refraction seismic transect extending from SE Baffin Island to Greenland. Dense airgun shots were recorded by 28 ocean bottom ... -
Seismic velocity structure of the rifted margin of the eastern Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada
(2006-11)[ 1] We present a compressional seismic velocity profile of the crust of the eastern margin of the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada. This velocity model was obtained by a tomographic inversion of wide-angle data recorded ... -
A semi-analytical model of the influence of phytoplankton community structure on the relationship between light attenuation and ocean color
(1999-01)A model was developed to examine the influence of phytoplankton community structure on the relationship between diffuse attenuation and ratios of upwelling radiance. Shifts in phytoplankton communities were represented by ... -
Spatial variation in right whale food, Calanus finmarchicus, in the Bay of Fundy

Spatiotemporal variations of fCO(2) in the North Sea
(2010)Data from two Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) (2005-2007) augmented with data subsets from ten cruises (1987-2005) were used to investigate the spatiotemporal variations of the CO2 fugacity in seawater (fCO(2)(sw)) in the ... -
The spectral effects of clouds on solar irradiance
(1998-12)Knowledge of the spectral attenuation associated with clouds is important for accurate estimates of natural irradiance at the Earth's surface. We compare spectral measurements of visible downwelling irradiance, under varying ... -
Spectrally weighted transparency in models of water-column photosynthesis and photoinhibition by ultraviolet radiation
(2004)We present a simple method for describing the influence of variable attenuation of spectral irradiance, Kd(lambda), on water-column photosynthesis and its inhibition by ultraviolet radiation (UV). The approach is based on ... -
Status of the iron hypothesis after the open-ocean enrichment experiment

Subtidal circulation on the Scotian Shelf: assessing the hindcast skill of a linear, barotropic model
(American Geophys. Union, 1997-11/15)Currents measured during the winter of 1985-1986 by four moorings on the inner Scotian Shelf are used to assess the hindcast skill of a three-dimensional circulation model forced by local wind stress and coastal sea level. ... -
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 ... -

Three-dimensional structure of the Torngat Orogen (NE Canada) from active seismic tomography
(2000-10)The crustal velocity structure and the Moho depth of the Proterozoic Torngat Orogen, NE Canada, is determined by active seismic tomography using travel times of crustal turning rays and Moho reflections. The orogen developed ... -
Tide-surge interaction off the east coast of Canada and northeastern United States
(2007-06)[1] Sea level observations and a dynamical model are used to investigate tide-surge interaction in the coastal waters off the east coast of Canada and northern USA. The study is motivated in part by the need to improve ... -

Tropical Pacific Ocean and the Madden-Julian Oscillation: Role of wind and buoyancy forcing
(2010-05)A global ocean circulation model is used to examine the dynamical response of the tropical Pacific Ocean to forcing associated with the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Model sensitivity experiments first reveal that ... -
Variations in heat flow across the Goban Spur and Galicia Bank continental margins
(1991)Presents the results of 44 new heat flow stations which were taken in 1984 and 1989 in profiles across the Goban Spur and Galicia Bank continental margins (NE Atlantic Ocean). Simple extensional models indicate that the ... -
Vertical migration, nutrition and toxicity in the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense
(1997)The effect of nitrate-N availability on paralytic shellfish toxin production by the dinoflagellate Alexandrium tamarense was studied in a vertically stratified laboratory water column (tank) where swimming behavior could ...
