Relative contributions of temperature and salinity to seasonal mixed layer density changes and horizontal density gradients

Temperature, Salinity and Density Measurements in the Coastal Waters of the Rudsar, South Caspian Sea

CTD (conductivity, temperature and depth) data collected in the coastal waters of Rudsar in summer 2008 were analyzed to identify the isothermal layers, thermocline depth and vertical structure of seawater properties. During the survey, probe was released into the seawater column down to 117 m depth. Results showed a vertical variation of temperature between 29°C at the sea surface and less tha...

Effects of temperature and relative humidity on the response of phaseolus vulgaris to salinity

Doubled power density from salinity gradients at reduced intermembrane distance.

The mixing of sea and river water can be used as a renewable energy source. The Gibbs free energy that is released when salt and fresh water mix can be captured in a process called reverse electrodialysis (RED). This research investigates the effect of the intermembrane distance and the feedwater flow rate in RED as a route to double the power density output. Intermembrane distances of 60, 100,...

Temperature and Density Gradients across the Nucleus of M82

This Letter presents CO , CO , CO , and CO spectra of the irregular J p 3–2 J p 3–2 J p 3–2 J p 2–1 starburst galaxy M82 taken with the 15 m James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. All maps exhibit a double-peaked morphology, despite evidence that the higher J transitions are optically thick. This morphology suggests that the double-peaked structure is not the result of an edge-on torus of molecular gas...

The temperature-salinity relationship of the mixed layer

The surface mixed layer of the ocean is often characterized by density compensation between the horizontal temperature and salinity gradients. In this contribution we present a combination of theoretical arguments and numerical simulations to investigate how compensation might emerge as a result of processes at work within the mixed layer. The dynamics of the mixed layer are investigated throug...
