A Numerical Investigation Of The Somali Current During The Southwest Monsoon, Julian P. Mccreary Jr., Pijush K. Kundu Jan 1988

A Numerical Investigation Of The Somali Current During The Southwest Monsoon, Julian P. Mccreary Jr., Pijush K. Kundu

Journal of Marine Research

The dynamics of the Somali Current system during the Southwest Monsoon are investigated using a 2½-layer numerical model that includes entrainment of cool water into the upper layer. Entrainment cools the upper layer, provides interfacial drag, and prevents the interface from surfacing in regions of strong coastal upwelling. Solutions are forced by a variety of wind stress fields in ocean basins with western boundaries oriented either meridionally or at a 45° angle. Solutions forced by southern hemisphere easterlies develop a strong coastal current south of the equator. When the western boundary is slanted, this current bends offshore at the equator …


Response Of Capelin To Wind-Induced Thermal Events In The Southern Labrador Current, David C. Schneider, David A. Methven Jan 1988

Response Of Capelin To Wind-Induced Thermal Events In The Southern Labrador Current, David C. Schneider, David A. Methven

Journal of Marine Research

The response of schooling fish (Capelin Mallotus villosus Müller) to coastal upwelling events in the southern Labrador Current was investigated during the summer of 1984 and 1987. Theoretical calculations showed that summer wind events, which prevail from the southwest, were capable of inducing upwelling along the western boundary of the Avalon Channel. Significant drops in the temperature of subsurface water near the coast occurred in response to longshore wind stress. Coherence of longshore winds and thermal fluctuations was significantly greater than zero at periods between 3.8 to 6.1 days at two exposed locations along the coast. Regression of temperature on …


A Shelf/Slope Frontal Filament Off The Northeast Spanish Coast, Dong-Ping Wang, Mário E. C. Vieira, Jordi Salat, Joaquim Tintoré, Paul E. La Violette Jan 1988

A Shelf/Slope Frontal Filament Off The Northeast Spanish Coast, Dong-Ping Wang, Mário E. C. Vieira, Jordi Salat, Joaquim Tintoré, Paul E. La Violette

Journal of Marine Research

A frontal filament on the shelf break in the Balearic Sea was examined using hydrographic, drifter and satellite sensor measurements. The filament was a tongue of low-salinity shelf water marked by a sharp frontal boundary. During the four-day study period, the filament moved across the shelf break with a speed of about 20 cm/s. While drifters generally followed this movement, there were large relative motions between drifters and the filament. Particle velocities in the filament generally were larger than the advancing speed of the filament. This resulted in a strong flow convergence near the head of the filament. The hydrographic …


Seasonal Variability Of Meridional Temperature Fluxes In The Eastern North Atlantic Ocean, Lothar Stramma, Hans-Jörg Isemer Jan 1988

Seasonal Variability Of Meridional Temperature Fluxes In The Eastern North Atlantic Ocean, Lothar Stramma, Hans-Jörg Isemer

Journal of Marine Research

Seasonal meridional ocean temperature fluxes were computed in a regional study of the eastern North Atlantic Ocean east of 30°30′W between 12°30′N and 39°30′N for the upper 1500 m of the ocean. Historical oceanographic and meteorological measurements are the data base for the direct method of computing temperature fluxes. Seasonal changes in temperature fluxes caused by the seasonality of Ekman transport and geostrophic transport are strongly dependent on latitude. Between 19N and 25N the meridional temperature flux shows low seasonality. In this area the permanent subtropical gyre and the stable trade-winds result in low seasonal changes. North of 25N the …


Tide Gauge Response To Tsunamis: Measurements At 40 Tide Gauge Stations In Japan, Kenji Satake, Masami Okada, Kuniaki Abe Jan 1988

Tide Gauge Response To Tsunamis: Measurements At 40 Tide Gauge Stations In Japan, Kenji Satake, Masami Okada, Kuniaki Abe

Journal of Marine Research

The responses of tide gauges to tsunamis are examined by in situ measurements at 40 stations in northeastern Japan. Recovery of water level in the tide well is measured after the water is drained or added to create a water level difference between the inside and outside of the wells. The recovery times for a 1 m water level difference, estimated from the observations, vary from station to station and range from 65 to 1300 sec. Tsunami waveforms on tide gauge records from the 1983 Japan Sea earthquake are corrected for the observed response. For those stations with the observed …


The Effect Of Boundary Conditions On Tracer Estimates Of Thermocline Ventilation Rates, Scott C. Doney, William J. Jenkins Jan 1988

The Effect Of Boundary Conditions On Tracer Estimates Of Thermocline Ventilation Rates, Scott C. Doney, William J. Jenkins

Journal of Marine Research

Using a simple box mixing model, we show that ventilation rate estimates obtained from tracer box models may be significantly smaller than fluid replacement rates. The degree to which a tracer ventilation estimate approaches the actual (fluid) ventilation rate depends on the surface boundary condition for that tracer. Ventilation rates for rapidly exchanging tracers (e.g. 3He) are close to the fluid ventilation rate while tracers with limited surface exchange (e.g. tritium) ventilate more slowly. For box mixing models, the ratio of ventilation rates for limited surface exchange tracers to rapidly exchanging tracers approaches the ratio of summer to winter …


Copepods In Fram Strait In Summer: Distribution, Feeding And Metabolism, Sharon L. Smith Jan 1988

Copepods In Fram Strait In Summer: Distribution, Feeding And Metabolism, Sharon L. Smith

Journal of Marine Research

A summer study of zooplankton in the Fram Strait area of the Greenland Sea showed elevated abundances of herbivorous copepods in the marginal ice zone or ice-edge compared with copepod communities under the pack ice cover. Several physical factors contributed to this, including the large-scale current systems which deliver both North Atlantic and Arctic plankton to the ice-edge and the effect of melting ice and eddies in increasing primary productivity and standing stocks of phytoplankton. The potential importance of the ice-edge in secondary production was observed directly as increased numbers of juvenile copepods. Indirectly, it can be inferred from observations …

The Coupling Of Wave Drift And Wind Velocity Profiles, John A. T. Bye Jan 1988

The Coupling Of Wave Drift And Wind Velocity Profiles, John A. T. Bye

Journal of Marine Research

The Stokes drift velocity profile due to Toba's equilibrium wave spectrum is shown to consist of a surface constant shear layer, an intermediate logarithmic layer and a deep exponentially decaying tail. On identifying the logarithmic layer with a wall boundary layer (which is justified a posteriori by showing that the major part of the energy dissipation by wave breaking occurs in the roughness sublayer), for a range of directionality (p) of the wave spectrum ½–2, Toba's constant (α) lies in the range 0.12–0.10 in good agreement with data. The roughness length for water (z0 …


A Numerical Model Of Instabilities In The Florida Current, Douglas B. Boudra, Rainer Bleck, Friedrich Schott Jan 1988

A Numerical Model Of Instabilities In The Florida Current, Douglas B. Boudra, Rainer Bleck, Friedrich Schott

Journal of Marine Research

An isopycnic coordinate numerical model is configured as an infinitely long channel with the width and bottom topography of the Straits of Florida at 27N to investigate the possibility that Florida Current meanders are due to dynamical instabilities. One mass/flow configuration with which to initialize the model is developed primarily from theoretical considerations, a second from the analysis of ST ACS observations (Leaman et al., 1987). To ascertain the effect of the bottom topography, flat bottom experiments are first examined. The current is found to be baroclinically unstable in the classical sense (Eady, 1949) to perturbations with wavelengths greater …

Divergence Of The Single-Copy Dna Sequences Of The Western Grebe (Aechmophorus Occidentalis) And Clark’S Grebe (A. Clarkii), As Indicated By Dna-Dna Hybridization, Jon E. Ahlquist, Anthony H. Bledsoe, John T. Ratti, Charles G. Sibley Oct 1987

Divergence Of The Single-Copy Dna Sequences Of The Western Grebe (Aechmophorus Occidentalis) And Clark’S Grebe (A. Clarkii), As Indicated By Dna-Dna Hybridization, Jon E. Ahlquist, Anthony H. Bledsoe, John T. Ratti, Charles G. Sibley

Postilla

Single-copy nuclear DNA sequences of individuals of Aechmophorus occidentalis and A. ciarkii were compared by DNA-DNA hybridization. In each of three experimental sets the average thermal stability of homoduplex and within-species DNA-DNA hybrids did not differ, but the between-species DNA-DNA hybrids dissociated at an average temperature 0.57°C below the median melting temperature of homoduplex and within-species hybrids. The difference was highly significant in all three sets. The median DNA sequence distance between A. occidentalis and A. clarkii is comparable to such distances between other closely related congeneric species.


Braincase Of Limnoscelis Paludis Williston, Michael A. Fracasso Oct 1987

Braincase Of Limnoscelis Paludis Williston, Michael A. Fracasso

Postilla

Limnoscelis paludis historically has been considered close to the ancestry of reptiles. Although the unique holotype skeleton is largely complete, its braincase has never been adequately described. Recent mechanical preparation has exposed the braincase laterally, dorsally, and in cross section for the first time, and has enhanced the preexisting ventral and occipital views, Newly revealed attributes include a fused basiparasphenoid, a fused otic, a feebly ossified zone separating anterior and posterior braincase divisions, paired basiparasphenoid ossifications of the dorsum sellae, a sphenethmoid with Y-shaped transverse cross section, an ossified synotic, a concave occipital condyle, reduced exoccipitals, and the absence of …
