Relationships between vertical mixing and photoadaptation of phytoplankton: Similarity criteria
In their natural environment phytoplankton are exposed to fluctuations in incident irradiance due to vertical displacements in the water column induced by turbulent fluid motion. A reaction-diffusion model is analyzed to ... -
Heat flow in the Balearic and Tyrrhenian basins, western Mediterranean
Presents the results of three detailed heat flow surveys which are used to investigate the variations of heat flow and age of the Balearic and Tyrrhenian basins in the western Mediterranean. The heat flow values are within ... -
Return periods of extreme sea levels from short records
Extreme sea levels usually arise from a combination of the tides (assumed here to be deterministic) and storm surges (assumed stochastic). The authors show how tide and surge statistics derived from short (~1 year) records ... -
A relationship between heat transfer to sea ice and temperature-salinity properties of Arctic Ocean waters
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 new measurement of CO sub(2) eddy flux in the nearshore atmospheric surface layer
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 ... -
Variations in heat flow across the Goban Spur and Galicia Bank continental margins
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 ... -
The detection of coastal-trapped waves
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 ...
