Seawater temperature is an extremely important factor as it affects the ecological balance of marines ecosystems, continental weather, and earth's atmosphere. However, pressure on both coastal marine resources, use oceans a wastes deposit, increase urbanization, anthropogenic activities in zones are all causes thermal pollution. The degradation water quality by any process that changes ambient ...

Abstract We provide the magnitude of a worst case scenario for extreme sea levels (ESLs) along global coastline by 2100. This ESLs is calculated as combination surface height associated with storm surge and wave (100 year return period, 95th percentile), high tide (the percentile) low probability level rise percentile). Under these conditions, end-of-21st century have 5% chance exceeding 4.2 m ...

always mazandaran province had been exposed to development and changes because of location in coastline of the caspian sea and having unique conditions. gis and remote sensing can be used to monitor in order to manage this sensitive province. then, this study is trying to detect land cover changes in coastal areas of mazandaran province using lcm. land cover changes detection have done using la...

Detailed observations of boundary layer structure were acquired on 14 September 2001, prior to and during the landfall of Tropical Storm Gabrielle. The Mobile Integrated Profiling System (MIPS) and the Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radar (SMART-R) were collocated at the western Florida coastline near Venice, very close to the wind center at landfall. Prior to landfall, the bou...

This study presents modern erosion rate measurements based upon vertical aerial photography captured in 1955, 1979, and 2002 for a 100 km segment of the Beaufort Sea coastline. Annual erosion rates from 1955 to 2002 averaged 5.6 m a. However, mean erosion rates increased from 5.0 m a in 1955 –79 to 6.2 m a in 1979 –2002. Furthermore, from the first period to the second, erosion rates increased ...

Nocturnal precipitation cells and lines occur near the coastline in the whole Mediterranean basin in all seasons. The precipitation events are mainly located in areas where coastal mountain ranges and rivers enhance convergence though the interaction of nocturnal mesoscale and local flows (land breeze, katabatic and drainages winds) with prevailing synoptic wind or with other mesoscale and loca...

Ecosystem services provided by oceans and seas support most human needs but are threatened by human activities. Despite existing maps illustrating human impacts on marine ecosystems, information remains either large-scale but rough and insufficient for stakeholders (1 km² grid, lack of data along the coast) or fine-scale but fragmentary and heterogeneous in methodology. The objectives of this s...

The long-term goal of this project is to quantify the environmental drivers of extremely rapid coastal erosion in the Arctic, and to begin developing predictive models of future rates of coastal erosion resulting from climate change. Our study is focused on the Beaufort Sea coast within the National Petroleum Reserve – Alaska (NPR-A), approximately halfway between Barrow and Prudhoe Bay. We are...
