Coupled ice sheet–ocean models are increasingly being developed and applied to important questions pertaining to processes at the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheet margins, which play a pivotal role in ice sheet stability and sea level rise projections.
The papers in this volume were, with a few exceptions, presented at the third Island Invasives conference, held in Dundee, Scotland in July 2017. The papers demonstrate up-scaling in several aspects of eradication operations – not least in ambition, land area, operational size…
This paper aims to provide the overview needed to include krill in food-web models and to guide modellers to key sources of data. It describes the strengths of each method of sampling krill, i.e. with nets (for historical time series, demographic information and live krill), acoustics (distribution…
Protection of the wilderness and aesthetic values of Antarctica is mandated by the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty, the “Madrid Protocol,” which came into force in 1998. Despite the passage of over 13 years…
A climatological mean distribution for the surface water pCO2 over the global oceans in non-El Niño conditions has been constructed with spatial resolution of 4° (latitude) ×5° (longitude)…
The solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere form a vast multi-scale system.
Adding carbon dioxide (CO2) to the ocean alters the carbonate chemistry and lowers pH, making surface waters more acidic and decreasing the carbonate ions available to calcifiers for calcite and aragonite production.
Bacterial community structures in soils collected … from eight sites around Casey Station, Antarctica, were … investigated using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis … (DGGE) of ampliWed 16S rRNA gene fragments.
Akasofu’s solar wind " parameter describes the … coupling of solar wind energy to the magnetosphere and … ionosphere. Analysis of fluctuations in " using model independent … scaling techniques including the peaks of probability … density functions (PDFs)…
: The KErguelen : Ocean and Plateau compared Study (KEOPS) examined the origin of elevated phytoplankton biomass over the Kerguelen plateau in the Southern Ocean in mid-summer (Jan. - Feb. 2005).
Middle-atmosphere gravity wave spectra of energy against vertical wavenumber are usually assumed to have a log-log slope of -3, based on a number of studies over many years and geographical locations, as well as from theoretical work.
The thickness of marine diffusive boundary layers (DBLs) can be calculated from the friction velocity and the water … density (a function of temperature and salinity). However, DBL thickness scales differently with temperature, depending … on whether free-stream or friction velocity is used.
