Lake Superior, the largest lake in the world by surface area and third largest by volume, features strong spatiotemporal thermal variability due to its immense size and complex bathymetry. The objectives of this study are to document our recent modeling experiences on the simulation of the lake thermal structure and to explore underlying dynamic explanations of the observed modeling success. In...

Aimed at the explanation of clear tidal signal and storm surge signals in a closed inland lake near coast (the Huguangyan Lake), this work uses combined approach with observations model experiments. Lake is freshwater coneless volcanic crater tropical southern China, less than 5 km from an estuary. It has diameter about 1.5 relatively deep water up to 20 m. Bottom pressure was measured acoustic...

Microfibers (MF) are one of the major classes microplastic found in marine environment on a global scale. Very little is known about how they move and distribute from point sources such as wastewater effluents into ocean. We chose Adventfjorden near settlement Longyearbyen Arctic Svalbard archipelago case study to investigate microfibers emitted with untreated will fjord, both spatial temporal ...

The 3rd International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean (IWMO; http://service.fio.org.cn/iwmo2011/iwmo2011.htm) was held on June 6–9, 2011 in the beautiful seaport city of Qingdao, hosted by the First Institute of Oceanography, China. The year was marred by the tragic March 11 Tōhoku earthquake a few months before the workshop. This special issue is dedicated to the Japanese people, who despite th...
