Offshore and nearshore chlorophyll increases induced by typhoon winds and subsequent terrestrial rainwater runoff

Offshore and nearshore chlorophyll increases induced by typhoon winds and subsequent terrestrial rainwater runoff

The response of phytoplankton chlorophyll to Typhoon Damrey in the South China Sea (SCS) in September 2005 was studied by remote sensing. Chl a concentration increased in 2 areas after the typhoon: (1) An offshore bloom along Damrey’s track exhibited a chl a peak (4 mg m–3) 5 d after the typhoon’s passage. It was preceded by sea-surface cooling (–5°C), mainly on the right side of the typhoon tr...

Nearshore oder Offshore - Outsourcing mit beherrschbaren Risiken

Outsourcing-Entscheidungen fokussieren nicht mehr nur auf den deutschen Markt – auch sogenannte Nearshore-Lokationen wie Polen oder Ungarn und Offshore-Standorte wie Indien oder China geraten zunehmend in den Mittelpunkt strategischer Unternehmensentscheidungen. Neue, durch die Verlagerung bedingte Herausforderungen ergänzen die bekannten Outsourcing-Risiken. Um die Potenziale, die eine Auslage...

Modeling nearshore-offshore exchange in Lake Superior

Lake Superior's ecosystem includes distinct nearshore and offshore food webs linked by hydrodynamic processes that transport water and tracers along and across shore. The scales over which these processes occur and their sensitivity to increasing summer surface temperatures are not well understood. This study investigated horizontal mixing between nearshore and offshore areas of Lake Superior o...

Estimating Winds from Synthetic Aperture Radar under Typhoon Conditions

The Impacts of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific (ITOP) program is a multi-national field campaign that aims to study the ocean response to typhoons in the western Pacific Ocean. The main goals are to understand the formation and dissipation of cold wakes and how ocean eddies affect typhoons. The NATO Undersea Research Centers (NURC) activities within ITOP are related to extracting high reso...
