The paper presents and analyzes the mineralogical, physical and chemical composition of dust deposited samples at six sites on the KAUST campus. KAUST is located on the Red sea coastal plain of Saudi Arabia. Monthly samples were collected between December 2014 and December 2015. The monthly deposition trends were compared to visibility and sun photometric measurements and to previous mineralogi...

Centropages mohamedi sp. nov. (Copepoda: Calanoida) is described from specimens collected in zooplankton samples off Obhur Creek on the Saudi Arabian coast of the central Red Sea. The new species is most closely related to C. orsinii Giesbrecht, 1889, a species described from the Red Sea and widely distributed in the neritic waters of the Indo-West Pacific region. The new species is mainly dist...

An accurate, reproducible and sensitive method for the quantitative determination of sarcophine in the organic extract of the Red Sea soft coral Sarcophyton species was developed and validated. Sarcophine concentration was determined by RP HPLC using ODS column. The mobile phase was made up of 70% acetonitrile in deionized water and the pH was adjusted to 3.5 with phosphoric acid. The flow rate...

During regular surveys and collection of ascidians along the Red Sea coast of Israel, several specimens of an undescribed species of Rhopalaea were collected. Samples were collected by SCUBA from the natural coral reef and man-made structures at depths between 10 to 40m. This is the first species of the genus Rhopalaea described from the Red Sea, which is characterized by a transparent, uncolor...

i introduction convective systems are atmospheric events that are associated with hazardous consequences, such as strong wind drafts, lightning, heavy rainfall, hail, or even tornado. they are manifested in the atmosphere within a broad range of spatial and temporal scales. a convection cell is composed of two distinct regions: the actual convective part which consists of the coldest intense ve...
