Hydrodynamics of spur and groove formations on a coral reef
[1] Spur and groove (SAG) formations are found on the fore reefs of many coral reefs worldwide. Although these formations are primarily present in wave-dominated environments, their effect on wave-driven hydrodynamics is not well understood. A twodimensional, depth-averaged, phase-resolving nonlinear Boussinesq model (funwaveC) was used to model hydrodynamics on a simplified SAG system. The mod...
متن کاملAgents of coral mortality on reef formations of the Colombian Pacific.
The National Monitoring System for Coral Reefs of Colombia (SIMAC) monitors the impact of some of the most important agents of coral tissue loss (bleaching and/or disease) in the Colombian Pacific coral formations since 1998. Physiological bleaching is among the main results of stress in the area. Signs of coral diseases resembling bacterial bleaching such as White Plague and White Band, were o...
متن کاملField observations of wave-driven circulation over spur and groove formations on a coral reef
Spur and groove (SAG) formations are found on the forereefs of many coral reefs worldwide. Modeling results have shown that SAG formations together with shoaling waves induce a nearshore Lagrangian circulation pattern of counter-rotating circulation cells, but these have never been observed in the field. We present results from two separate field studies of SAG formations on Palmyra Atoll which...
متن کاملNegotiated Formations
We present a decentralized, behavior-based approach to assembling and maintaining robot formations. Our approach dynamically grows formations from single robots into line segments and ultimately larger and more complex formations. Formation growth occurs by negotiation when robots are in close proximity. The approach has been validated using simulation as well as experiments with physical robot...
متن کاملFeather formations
The individual feathers in the skin of a developing chicken embryo are arranged in a precise array within a series of so-called 'tracts'. The images above show nascent feather buds in the legs of embryos at 8–9 days of incubation. Buds are added sequentially across the forming feather tract, as shown by the range of developmental stages in the image at top left. (In all three upper images, buds...
