Thirteen repetitions of a cross-channel transect in the Khuran Channel within the Strait of Hormuz allowed the description of the mean flow and semidiurnal tidal properties of a north-south transect. Water velocity profiles were obtained with a 614.4 kHz TRDI Work Horse Broadband ADCP along this 3.3 km long transect on 10 October 2014, the third day of secondary spring tide. The M2, M4 and M6 f...

rocky shores are one of the most important habitats of marine environment in coastal areas. they host marine organisms including seaweeds because of existence of strong and stable substrate for their growths. intertidal rocky shores are a prominent feature on coastal areas of qeshm island located at the northern part of strait of hormuz. in order to study biomass of seaweeds on rocky intertidal...

given the reduced freshwater supplies across the world, seawater desalination is one of the appropriate methods available for producing freshwater. selecting an optimal location is crucial in the installation of these plants owing to the environmental problems they cause. the present study was conducted to identify optimal locations for installing desalination plants in the coastal areas of sou...

a survey on the abundance and diversity of fish larvae along the iranian waters of the oman sea, extending from hormuz strait to gowatr bay, was carried out in 2009 (before and post monsoon). fish larva were collected by a bongo net (300 µ mesh size) and temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, ph, chlorophyll-a, clarity, nitrate, nitrite, silicate and sulfate by oceanic data recorder (ctd) and...

In this study, measured hydrophysical data collected by the University of Miami researchers from the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz during the period December 1996 to March 1998 and climate data from the Qeshm island meteorological station were used to simulate water column turbulence south of the Qeshm Island, via General Ocean Turbulence Model (GOTM). The model does not use slip and fl...

This compact and lucid biography tells the story of the man subsequently known as the "Humboldt of the seventeenth century", on account of his extensive travels and contribution to the study of geography. If anyone deserves this accolade then it was certainly Engelbert Kaempfer (1651-1716), who made extensive notes and sketches of the topography, arts and manufactures of the countries of Asia, ...
