[1] A well-mixed water column is observed over a 20 m ridge in the central Bohai Sea, surrounded by stratified water of much colder temperatures. We use a three-dimensional model to investigate its formation mechanisms. The results show that both tidal and surface wave mixing are important for homogenizing the water column, the former reaching 10 m above the bottom and the latter penetrating 10...

An unusual bloom of Ceratium furcoides is reported for a station of the Taquacetuba compartment of the Billings Reservoir. The appearance of this bloom is attributed to the mixing and turbulence of the water column that removed Ceratium cysts from the surface of the sediment and promoted conditions for the growth of this species in the region of mixing. Cold fronts approaching the Billings Rese...

Present paper studies the ocean response to super-typhoon Haiyan based on satellite and Argo float data. First, we show satellite-based surface wind sea temperature during Haiyan, evaluate widely-used atmospheric oceanic analysis-or-reanalysis datasets. Second, investigate signals of float, find daily-sampling floats capture phenomena both vertical-mixing-induced mixed-layer extension nonlocal ...

–The deposition of higher quality giant magnetoresistive (GMR) metal multilayers is essential for improving the performance of magnetic field sensors and nonvolatile random access memories. Improved performance requires reduction of both the atomic scale interfacial roughness and interlayer mixing in the as deposited films. The first step is to develop relationships between controllable process...

Abstract Hangzhou Bay is located in China on the south side of Changjiang Estuary and vulnerable to extreme weather, such as typhoons summer autumn. In this study, a three dimensional suspended sediment numerical model was developed that considers dynamic factors advection, mixing, wave, sediment-induced stratification simulate analyze effect water transport Bay. The validations show can suffic...

Photochemical calculations indicate that in the prebiotic atmosphere of the Earth ammonia would have been irreversibly converted to N2 in less than 40 years if the ammonia surface mixing ratio were _~10 -4. However, if a continuous outgassing of ammonia were maintained, radiative equilibrium calculations indicate that a surface mixing ratio of ammonia of 10 -5 or greater would provide a suffici...

Abstract An optimization experiment was conducted to reproduce the climatological distribution of water properties with an ocean general circulation model in which interior vertical mixing below surface mixed layer is represented by tidally induced near- and far-field vertical-mixing schemes. Globally constant parameters schemes along other physical are optimally estimated based on Green’s func...

The fusogenic properties of sulfatide-containing 1,2-dioleoyl-3-sn -phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) small unilamellar vesicles (SUVs) in the presence of CaCl2 were studied by mixing membrane lipids based on an assay of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET). Fusion of the vesicles was also confirmed by mixing aqueous contents with the Tb/dipicolinate (DPA) assay. The half-times of lipid ...

We present a structure-based numerical analysis of passive scalar mixing in decaying homogeneous isotropic turbulence (DHIT) and shock-turbulence interaction canonical configurations. The focuses on the temporal evolution ensembles structures, initialized as spheres different sizes relative to Taylor microscale. An algorithm is introduced track each individual structure interactions with other ...
