Ocean processes at the Antarctic continental slope. [PDF]
Philos Trans A Math Phys Eng Sci, 2014 The Antarctic continental shelves and slopes occupy relatively small areas, but, nevertheless, are important for global climate, biogeochemical cycling and ecosystem functioning. Processes of water mass transformation through sea ice formation/melting and ocean–atmosphere interaction are key to the formation of deep and bottom waters as well as ...

Halocline water modification and along-slope advection at the Laptev Sea continental margin [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2014 A general pattern in water mass distribution and potential shelf–basin exchange is revealed at the Laptev Sea continental slope based on hydrochemical and stable oxygen isotope data from the summers 2005–2009. Despite considerable interannual variations,

Exploring Benthic Biodiversity Patterns and Hotspots on European Margin Slopes [PDF]
Oceanography, 2009 There is increasing evidence that continental slope ecosystems represent one of the major repositories of benthic marine biodiversity. The enhanced levels of biodiversity along slopes are hypothesized to be a source of biodiversity for continental ...

Deep Convection Along the Continental Slope in the East/Japan Sea: A Large-Eddy Simulation Study
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Sparse observations in the East/Japan Sea (EJS) suggested that open-ocean deep convection occurs south of Vladivostok; however, more recent observations suggest that deep convection occurs along the continental slope, resulting in bottom water formation ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Significant current velocity near the sea bottom can be induced by internal waves, even for water a few hundred meters in depth. In this study, a nonhydrostatic ocean model was applied to simulate the generation and propagation of internal waves on the ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Recent mooring observations on the continental slope on the east side of the Dongsha Island in the northeastern South China Sea (SCS) showed that an along-slope bottom current can be generated when internal tides obliquely incident to the slope are ...

Mesoscale and wind-driven intra-annual variability in the East Auckland Current
Scientific Reports, 2021 Intra-annual variability in the East Auckland Current (EAuC) was studied using a year-long timeseries of in situ and remotely-sensed velocity, temperature and salinity observations.

Patterns of deep-water coral diversity in the Caribbean Basin and adjacent southern waters: an approach based on records from the R/V Pillsbury expeditions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The diversity of deep-water corals in the Caribbean Sea was studied using records from oceanographic expeditions performed by the R/V Pillsbury. Sampled stations were sorted according to broad depth ranges and ecoregions and were analyzed in terms of ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 In this paper, the M2 internal tides (ITs) originating from the continental slope in the South China Sea are studied using the CROCO model. The simulation results show that there are two origins of ITs on the continental slope: at 118°–119.5° E along 22°

Geo-hazards of the San Vito peninsula offshore (southwestern Tyrrhenian Sea)
Journal of Maps, 2021 In this paper we present geomorphological hazard mapping of the San Vito Peninsula offshore (Sicilian margin of Tyrrhenian Sea), characterised by a very narrow continental shelf and a very dipping, tectonically active continental slope, no far from a ...
