Distribution of dissolved methane in seawater from the East China Sea to the Ryukyu forearc

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2023
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]

open access: yesGeoscientific Model Development, 2015
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

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2019
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)

open access: yesFluids, 2022
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]

open access: yesTellus: Series A, Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography, 2013
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).

Updated checklist and identification of areas of endemism of benthic amphipods (Caprellidea and Gammaridea) from offshore habitats in the SW Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2006
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

Identifying the Frequency Dependent Interactions between Ocean Waves and the Continental Margin on Seismic Noise Recordings

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
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 ...

Decoupling of the Surface and Bottom‐Intensified Antarctic Slope Current in Regions of Dense Shelf Water Export

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
The Antarctic Slope Current is guided by the topographic gradient of the Antarctic continental slope and creates a dynamical barrier between the continental shelf and the open ocean.

Simulated density reorganization on the Weddell Sea continental shelf sensitive to atmospheric forcing [PDF]

open access: yesOcean Science
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 ...

Wind-forced depth-dependent currents over the eastern Beaufort Sea continental slope: Implications for Pacific water transport

open access: yesElementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2018
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.
