Antidunes on steep slopes
16 When increasing the rates of subcritical flow on gentle slopes, the bed successively produces 17 ripples, dunes and flat beds. Antidunes (defined here as all bed undulations for which the 18 surface gravity waves are in phase with the bed profile) appear only in high flow rates and 19 may be found in some extreme natural flow events. Inversely, on steep slopes flume 20 experiment (S≥1% appro...
متن کاملDominance of one bacterial phylotype at a Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Microbial community structure in natural environments has remained largely unexplored yet is generally considered to be complex. It is shown here that in a Mid-Atlantic Ridge hydrothermal vent habitat, where food webs depend on prokaryotic primary production, the surface microbial community consists largely of only one bacterial phylogenetic type (phylotype) as indicated by the dominance ofa si...
متن کاملSemi-automatic Landform Mapping at Steep Slopes
The traditional mapping on digital aerial photos and elevation models has its limits at steep slopes where the surface is only very sparsely sampled even in high resolution data sets. As a consequence, there is too few information available to perform a detailed mapping. In this paper we present a framework for augmenting terrain data with additional photos and show how to utilize this addition...
متن کاملTidal conversion at a very steep ridge
where ρ0 is the mean density of seawater, U cos(ωt) the tidal velocity, and f the Coriolis frequency. The function M(b/h) increases monotonically with M(0)= 1, M(0.92)= 2 and M(1)=∞. As b/h→ 1, M diverges logarithmically and consequently the radiated power grows as ln[(h − b)/b]. We also calculate the conversion in a realistically stratified ocean with strongly non-uniform buoyancy frequency, N...
متن کاملFeeding Ecology of Coryphaenoides rupestris from the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
The Macrourid fish roundnose grenadier, Coryphaenoides rupestris, is one of the most common benthopelagic fishes on the northern mid-Atlantic Ridge. The ecology of the species is comparatively well studied in continental slope waters of the North Atlantic, but not on the mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a central mid-ocean area of its distribution. In total, 166 specimens from the RV G.O. Sars crui...
