Abstract The characteristics and dynamics of depth-average along-shelf currents at monthly longer time scales are examined using 17 years observations from the Martha’s Vineyard Coastal Observatory on southern New England inner shelf. Monthly averages depth-averaged current almost always westward, with largest interannual variability in winter. There is a consistent annual cycle westward 5 cm s...

Dehydration with aging is attributed to decreased urine concentrating ability and thirst. We further investigated by comparing urine concentration and water balance in 3, 18 and 27 month old mice, consuming equal amounts of water. During water restriction, 3 month old mice concentrate their urine sufficiently to maintain water balance (stable weight). 18 month old mice concentrate their urine a...
