Distribution of dissolved methane in seawater from the East China Sea to the Ryukyu forearc
Methane is a greenhouse gas, and the East China Sea acts as a source of emissions to the atmosphere. On the other hand, the distribution of methane concentration in the Ryukyu Arc shelf and forearc region has not been clarified.

OESbathy version 1.0: a method for reconstructing ocean bathymetry with generalized continental shelf-slope-rise structures [PDF]
We present a method for reconstructing global ocean bathymetry that combines a standard plate cooling model for the oceanic lithosphere based on the age of the oceanic crust, global oceanic sediment thicknesses, plus generalized shelf-slope-rise ...

Assemblages of certain benthic molluscs along the southwestern Atlantic: from subtidal to deep sea
Background We analyse the distribution of Gastropods and Chitons from shallow to deep waters along the southwestern Atlantic Ocean off Argentina and discuss possible factors determining the observed biogeographic patterns.

Simulation of Winter Deep Slope Convection in Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea)
In wintertime, a high-density water forms on the shallow shelf in the vast Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea). The steep continental slope with deep canyons and cold winters in the area provide suitable conditions for the implementation of deep slope ...

The establishment of Atlantic Water transport as a topographically trapped slope current off Scotland [PDF]
Atlantic Water, with its origin in the western Atlantic, enters the Nordic Seas partly as a barotropic current following the continental slope. This water mass is carried across the Atlantic by the baroclinic North Atlantic Current (NAC).

An updated checklist of the benthic amphipods associated with soft bottoms in the SW Gulf of Mexico has been made and the areas of endemism have been identified. Amphipods were collected in a depth interval of 25 to 3700 m during six cruises from 1994 to

This study presents an exploration into identifying the interactions between ocean waves and the continental margin in the origination of double-frequency (DF, 0.1−0.5 Hz) microseisms recorded at 33 stations across East Coast of USA (ECUSA) during ...

Simulated density reorganization on the Weddell Sea continental shelf sensitive to atmospheric forcing [PDF]
The strong Antarctic Slope Front in the southern Weddell Sea limits the present-day transport of modified Warm Deep Water (mWDW) onto the continental shelf and is associated with a characteristic V-shape in the density structure across the continental ...

Pacific water contributes significantly to the Arctic Ocean freshwater budget. Recent increases in Arctic freshwater flux, also affected by the Pacific-derived Arctic water, impact the Atlantic overturning circulation with implications for global climate.
