in this research, the correlation between precipitation change in southern coasts of caspian sea and variability of sea level pressure have been analyzed by using environmental to circulation approach at time period 1339- 1383. in this respect, we make use of daily precipitation data of the 12 synoptic stations of studied area at surface data base section and prepare the time series matrix of p...

INTRODUCTION The sharpened Romberg test (SRT) is commonly used by diving and hyperbaric physicians as an indicator of neurological decompression illness (DCI). People who spend a prolonged time on a boat at sea experience impairment in their balance on returning to shore, a condition known as mal de debarquement ('sea legs'). This conditioning of the vestibular system to the rocking motion of a...

Concurrent Level-3 data products from MERIS, MODIS, and SeaWiFS between June 2003 and June 2006 for the East China Seas were compared against each other to evaluate the consistency between the sensors. The atmospheres in these regions is generally turbid, with typical aerosol optical thickness at 865 nm (tau_865) around 0.16, therefore presents a challenge to atmospheric correction. The statist...

The article presents a first classification of the documented reclamation deposits in district Villaggio San Francesco Comacchio. These relate to preparation and use area as port during early Middle Ages. are commented with reference wooden structures contemporary mean sea level.

Cattle and sheep are exported from Australia by sea and form a significant market for Australian animals. For instance, in both 2006 and 2007 over half a million cattle were exported by sea from Australia, with the majority travelling the short journey to Indonesia. Other destinations included other Asian countries and the Middle East; about one tenth of the cattle travelled the “long haul” voy...

Seasonal variations of the seawater properties (e.g. temperature, salinity, density and chlorophyll-a) in western part of the southern coastal waters of the Caspian Sea near the Iranian coast were studied. A portable CTD probe was applied for profiling from sea surface to bottom at 23 stations. Maximum depth of the profiling stations was more than 470 m in the study area. Vertical structure of ...

The Adriatic Sea meteotsunami research and warning network is described. The network is located in the middle Adriatic, an area where the most destructive of the Adriatic meteotsunamis (destructive tsunami-like sea level oscillations generated by air pressure oscillations) occur. The network consists of three microbarograph meteorological stations, and is supplemented by four permanent tidegaug...

Effects of trawling on Posidonia oceanica beds. Posid onia beds between Capo Circeo and Terracina (Mid-Tyrrhenian Sea) were studied as part of a study of the effects of illegal trawling inside th e three m ile limit. M ore than a hund red station s, placed along tran sects orthogonal to the shore, were considered. The results obtained show great damage to the Posid onia beds: red uction in mean...
