The Paleomagnetic Significance of Aeromagnetic Surveys of the Hawaiian Islands!

Aeromagnetic surveys of the Hawaiian Islands have revealed that the pr imary magnetic anomalies associated with the islands are dipole anomalies caused by the intrusive rocks of the volcanic centers and rift zones. Comparisons of the direction of magn etization indicated by the dipole anomalies with results of laboratory measurements on iavas show that in many cases the lavas possess reverse po...

Monsoon surges trigger oceanic eddy formation and propagation in the lee of the Philippine Islands

[1] Two winter monsoon surge events (northerly and easterly) of January 2005 are captured in a one-way coupled atmosphere (8 km resolution) and ocean (3 km resolution) simulation of the Philippines region. Intensified wind jets and wakes in the lee of Mindoro and Luzon Islands induce the generation and migration of a pair of counter-rotating oceanic eddies in the model, with propagation directi...
