Quantification and Analysis of Icebergs in a Tidewater Glacier Fjord Using an Object-Based Approach
Tidewater glaciers are glaciers that terminate in, and calve icebergs into, the ocean. In addition to the influence that tidewater glaciers have on physical and chemical oceanography, floating icebergs serve as habitat for marine animals such as harbor seals (Phoca vitulina richardii). The availability and spatial distribution of glacier ice in the fjords is likely a key environmental variable ...
متن کاملMortality estimation for planktonic copepods: Pseudocalanus newmani in a temperate fjord
The population surface method for estimating mortality was modified to incorporate diapause of copepodid stage 5 and missing naupliar stages and applied to a 2-yr time series of the planktonic copepod Pseudocalanus newmani in a temperate fjord. The fitted model captures nearly all of the observed dynamics of the population and yields age-, stage-, and time-specific measures of mortality along w...

متن کاملAnnual bacterioplankton biomasses and productivities in a temperate west coast canadian fjord.
Bacterioplankton numbers, biomasses, and productivities, as well as chlorophyll a concentrations and phytoplankton productivities, were assayed from 1 March 1984 to 12 August 1985 through a 250-m-deep seawater column in Howe Sound, a temperate fjord-sound on the southern coast of British Columbia, Canada. Primary production during this 18-month period was 845 g of C m. Bacterial production was ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Supercritical Stratified Tidal Flow in a Scottish Fjord
The baroclinic tidal regime of the fjord Loch Etive (Scotland) is studied. Analysis is performed on the basis of both in situ data and numerical simulations, with the use of a fully nonlinear nonhydrostatic fine-resolution model. It was found that the crest of the sill that separates Loch Etive into inner and outer parts is subjected to a supercritical flow regime with maximum Froude numbers in...
