Estimating the mean ocean-bay exchange rate of the Chesapeake Bay
[1] A model of the salt balance in the Chesapeake Bay is discussed, which takes into account only time-dependent riverine input and mean ocean-bay exchange. Estimates of (spatial) mean bay salinity are made using two different data sources: a 16 year record of surveys taken by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Chesapeake Bay Program, and a 10 year record of hydrographic sections taken in th...
متن کاملThe Impact of Ocean Acidification on Aquatic Organisms
When carbon dioxide dissolves in oceans it forms carbonic acid which triggers chemical reactions that reduce the pH (increasing the acidity) while reducing the availability of buffers such as carbonates. Most water dwelling organisms particularly fish depend on their chemoreceptors to detect the odor of food, finding mates for reproduction, predators/ prey recognition, homing clues etc. When ch...
متن کاملClimate change and ocean acidification-interactions with aquatic toxicology.
The possibilities for interactions between toxicants and ocean acidification are reviewed from two angles. First, it is considered how toxicant responses may affect ocean acidification by influencing the carbon dioxide balance. Second, it is introduced, how the possible changes in environmental conditions (temperature, pH and oxygenation), expected to be associated with climate change and ocean...
متن کاملInteractive Chesapeake Bay Simulation
Scientists use sophisticated numerical models to study ocean circulation and other physical systems, but the complex nature of such simulation software generally make them inaccessible to non-expert users. In principle, however, numerical models represent an ideal teaching tool, allowing users to model the response of a complex system to changing conditions. We have designed an interactive simu...
متن کاملWill Ion Channels Help Coccolithophores Adapt to Ocean Acidification?
Phytoplankton come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and taxa, but the single-celled coccolithophores are among the most unusual. While most plankton congregate near upwellings of nutrient-rich water from the ocean floor, coccolithophores can also thrive in nutrient-poor waters. Widely dispersed throughout the oceans, these aquatic algae play an important, if not completely understood, role i...
