The distribution of Antarctic Intermediate Water in the South
Pacific has been examined using a model of horizontal advection,
along the Sigma-t surface 27.10, with three point vertical mixing.
The core of the Antarctic Intermediate Water mass was traced
from the Antarctic Convergence northward. The charts used to
describe the...
The perturbation method is applied to solve two numerical
problems in the earth sciences, viz., (l)the computation of deep sea
currents in the coastal region of the northeast Pacific and (2) the
interpretation of D.C. conduction data in exploration geophysics.
The perturbation method is largely equivalent to the method of...
During the GEOSECS cruise of the R/V KNORR, July 1972-April 1973, a very complete and high quality nutrient data set was acquired for the Atlantic Ocean. One hundred and twenty-one hydrographic
stations were occupied throughout the Atlantic providing an
internally consistent picture of the nutrient dynamics for this ocean.
The...
The distribution patterns of quartz and opal contents and the distribution
patterns of radiolarian assemblages, in the sediments of the
southeastern Pacific, are largely controlled by both the surface winds
and the mixed-layer oceanic circulation. The distribution pattern of
quartz is related to eolian and ice-rafted transport, as well as...
An experimental investigation of the thermohaline, diffusive interface between convecting layers, with heat fluxes more similar to natural fluxes than in previous studies, shows that the formula suggested by Huppert (1971) for the dependence of heat flux on interface stability cannot be extrapolated to stability numbers higher than seven and...
