Measurements of methyl chloride in the Northwest Atlantic
(American Geophysical Union, 1994-04)
Methyl chloride was measured directly in seawater using a purge and trap system and gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The results indicate that surface waters of the northwest Atlantic are a source of ...
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 ...
Zeros of the Wronskian of Chebyshev and Ultraspherical Polynomials

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 ...
Can SINEs: A family of tRNA-derived retroposons specific to the superfamily canoidea
(1994)
A repetitive element of approximately 200 bp was cloned from harbour seal (Phoca vitulina concolour) genomic DNA. The sequence of the element revealed putative RNA polymerase III control boxes, a poly A tail and direct ...
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 ...
A robust method for diagnosing regional shelf circulation from scattered density profiles
(1996-11)
We present a straightforward method for estimating surface circulation on an f plane from a set of irregularly spaced vertical density profiles. The first step is to express bottom density rho(h) as the sum of a mean for ...
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 ...
