Propagation of coupled Rayleigh-gravity waves on the ocean floor
It is shown that the Ocean-Earth crust interface can propagate gravity-sound Rayleigh waves. Dispersion properties of waves and flux of energy are derived. It is shown that the waves split into low and fast velocity branches. The fast branch has a multimode structure and has a cutoff in frequency and wave number. Numerical solutions are discussed.

closed system grossly distorted sound calibration below 1 khz, whereas at frequencies higher than 6 khz calibration for the open loudspeaker was affected. This difficulty could be avoided by placing the loudspeaker close to the bird's ear (12 cm). 2. R. L. Boord and G. L. Rasmussen, J. Comp. Neurol. 120, 463 (1963). 3. For this reason, all data on single-unit thresholds and frequency range in t...
متن کاملThreatened Corals Provide Underexplored Microbial Habitats
Contemporary in-depth sequencing of environmental samples has provided novel insights into microbial community structures, revealing that their diversity had been previously underestimated. Communities in marine environments are commonly composed of a few dominant taxa and a high number of taxonomically diverse, low-abundance organisms. However, studying the roles and genomic information of the...
متن کاملDo nursery habitats provide shelter from flow for juvenile fish?
Juvenile fish nurseries are an essential life stage requirement for the maintenance of many fish populations. With many inshore habitats globally in decline, optimising habitat management by increasing our understanding of the relationship between juvenile fish and nursery habitats may be a prudent approach. Previous research on post-settlement snapper (Chrysophrys auratus) has suggested that s...
متن کاملColorless sulfur oxidizing bacteria from diverse habitats
Colorless sulfur oxidizing bacteria comprise an important part of sulfur cycle in nature and hold significant value for biotechnological applications such as, increasing soil fertility, reduction of environmental pollution by biologically oxidizing toxic sulfides present in waste waters from different industries and sewage, leaching of economically important metals from poor ores. Present artic...
