Deep sea floor observations of typhoon driven enhanced ocean turbulence

Typhoon-Ocean Interaction: The Ocean Response to Typhoons, and Its Feedback to Typhoon Intensity – Synergy of Observations and Model Simulations

High-resolution observations of internal wave induced turbulence in the deep ocean

An overview is presented of high-resolution temperature (T) observations above underwater topography in the deep, stably stratified ocean. The Eulerian mooring technique is used to monitor T-variations with typically 100 sensors distributed over lines between 40 and 400 m long. The independent sensors sample at a rate of 1 Hz for up to one year with a precision better than 0.1 mK. Under conditi...

A proposed biogeography of the deep ocean floor

While there are many generalized schemes representing the biogeographic distribution of life in the deep sea, reviewed here, a comprehensive analysis has not been undertaken since Vinogradova (1979, 1997) for the abyssal and Belyaev (1989) for the hadal. The purpose of this paper is to propose global biogeographic provinces for the lower bathyal and abyssal benthos (>800 m depths) in order to a...

Upper Ocean Response to Typhoon Kalmaegi and Sarika in the South China Sea from Multiple-Satellite Observations and Numerical Simulations

We investigated ocean surface and subsurface physical responses to Typhoons Kalmaegi and Sarika in the South China Sea, utilizing synergistic multiple-satellite observations, in situ measurements, and numerical simulations. We found significant typhoon-induced sea surface cooling using satellite sea surface temperature (SST) observations and numerical model simulations. This cooling was mainly ...

Magnetic observations in studies of sea-floor spreading.

epinephrine is released from the adrenal medulla, the compound may be taken up by these two neuroendocrine organs and may thus affect function, for example, melatonin or adrenocorticotrophic hormone release (9). The ratio of H3-epinephrine in the pineal to that in the whole brain at either 10 or 60 minutes after intravenous administration was 150:1; after intraventricular injection, the ratio w...
