A Topographic-Rossby Mode Resonance over the Iceland-Faeroe Ridge
An array of current-meter moorings along 12W on the southern side of the IcelandFaeroe Ridge reveals a narrowband barotropic oscillation with period 1.8 days in spectra of velocity. The signal is coherent over at least 55km scales and propagates phase with shallow water on the right (towards the northwest). Velocity ellipses tend to be elongated (crossing contours of f=H) and rotate anticycloni...

After establishing the three billion letters of DNA code that we all have in common, the hunt was on for the much smaller number of letters that are variable between indiv...
متن کاملGeothermal Energy in Iceland
Due to Iceland’s location on the Mid-Atlantic ridge, the island is provided with a great amount of geothermal energy. Hence, Iceland is well on the way to becoming completely independent of fossil fuels. Whereas high-temperature areas are mainly used for electricity generation, the more frequent low-temperature areas are utilized for direct application like space heating, bathing and greenhouse...
