VOL. 64-B. No. 4, 1982 475 Although the synovial shelf syndrome has come into prominence during the last decade with the wider use of the arthroscope, the anatomy of the synovial folds within the knee was described much earlier (Mayeda 1918 ; lino 1939). The medial synovial shelf, also known as lino’s band, Aoki’s ledge (Aoki 1973), the meniscus of the patella, the plica synovialis mediopatella...

[1] Observations on the West Spitsbergen Shelf have shown that the dynamic response of the shelf to wind forcing has a profound effect on the heat content of the water. Hydrographic and atmospheric data have been analysed with respect to the relative importance of surface heat fluxes and advective processes on ocean temperature. During the Arctic winter of 2005/06 periods of sustained along-she...

11 Multibeam swath bathymetry data collected through the Irish National Seabed Survey provides 12 direct evidence for extensive glaciation of the continental shelf off NW Ireland. Streamlined 13 subglacial bedforms on the inner shelf record former offshore-directed ice flow. The major 14 glacial features, however, consist of well developed, nested arcuate moraines which mark the 15 retreat of a...

[1] The response of ice shelf basal melting to climate is a function of ocean temperature, circulation, and mixing in the open ocean and the coupling of this external forcing to the sub–ice shelf circulation. Because slope strongly influences the properties of buoyancy-driven flow near the ice shelf base, ice shelf morphology plays a critical role in linking external, subsurface heat sources to...

[1] Velocity measurements from 17 deployments of moored acoustic Doppler current profilers obtained during four summer upwelling seasons are used to describe the crossshelf divergence of Ekman transport in the inner shelf off Oregon. For each deployment the measured surface and bottom cross-shelf transports were compared with estimates of the theoretical Ekman transports to find the fraction of...

Tidal dynamics affect Antarctic Bottom Water and Ice Shelf Water production in the southern Weddell Sea and the general circulation and mixing. In this region, tidal dynamics were found to be extremely sensitive both to the proximity of the continental shelf-slope break to the critical latitude ? crit and to the existence of a shelf break front. If the continental slope was not in the vicinity ...

A model of the dynamics and thermodynamics of a plume of meltwater at the base of an ice shelf is presented. Such ice shelf water plumes may become supercooled and deposit marine ice if they rise (because of the pressure decrease in the in situ freezing temperature), so the model incorporates both melting and freezing at the ice shelf base and a multiple-size-class model of frazil ice dynamics ...

Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW) can be found near the continental shelf break around most of Antarctica. Advection of this relatively warm water (up to 28C) across the continental shelf to the base of floating ice shelves is thought to be a critical source of heat for basal melting in some locations. A high-resolution (4 km) regional ocean–sea ice–ice shelf model of the west Antarctic Peninsula (W...

Observations (1978–1991) of distributions of pelagic juvenile Northeast Arctic cod (Gadus morhua L.) show that up to 1/3 of the year class are dispersed off the continental shelf and into the deep Norwegian Sea while on the way from the spring-spawning areas along the Norwegian coast to the autumn-settlement areas in the Barents Sea. The fate of this variable fraction of pelagic juveniles off-s...

WhitePaper Foreword This guide is written to serve as inspiration and as an introduction for those who want to know more about eye tracking and how this tool can be used in package and shelf testing. This guide will not explain a methodology but I hope it will inspire you to develop your own methodologies as well as your own tests and experiments. I would also like to thank the people who have ...
