Illicit drug use is a largely hidden phenomenon and population measures are notoriously problematic. Reliable and valid data for local, regional and national public health and other interventions are needed. To address this information we examined temporal trends within and across weeks in methamphetamine (MA) in a single location in...
If the spatial and temporal distribution of resources is not homogenous it creates an assignment problem. While the adoption of individual (or transferable) quota management in many commercial fisheries has resolved issues of over-appropriation, assignment problems may remain due to the spatial and temporal complexity of fisheries resources, which creates...
An intermediate-complexity climate model is used to simulate the impact of an accelerated Pine Island Glacier mass loss on the large-scale ocean circulation and climate. Simulations are performed for preindustrial conditions using hosing levels consistent with present-day observations of 3000 m³ s⁻¹, at an accelerated rate of 6000 m³ s⁻¹,...
SUMMARY:
1. Understanding how predators select their prey can provide important insights into community structure and dynamics. However, the suite of prey species available to a predator is often spatially and temporally variable. As a result, species-specific selectivity data are of limited use for predicting novel predator–prey interactions because they...
The light-wind, clear-sky, very stable boundary layer (vSBL) is characterized by large values of bulk
Richardson number. The light winds produce weak shear, turbulence, and mixing, and resulting strong
temperature gradients near the surface. Here five nights with weak-wind, very stable boundary layers during
the Cooperative Atmosphere–Surface Exchange Study (CASES-99)...
Due to lower sea levels during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), tidal energy dissipation was shifted from the shallow margins into the deep ocean. Here using a high-resolution tide model, we estimate that global energy fluxes below 200 m depth were almost quadrupled during the LGM. Applying the energy fluxes to...
