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

Convection above the Labrador Continental Slope [PDF]
Journal of Physical Oceanography, 2005 Abstract The Labrador Sea is one of the few regions of the World Ocean where deep convection takes place. Several moorings across the Labrador continental slope just north of Hamilton Bank show that convection does take place within the Labrador Current.

OESbathy version 1.0: a method for reconstructing ocean bathymetry with generalized continental shelf-slope-rise structures [PDF]
Geoscientific 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 ...

The deep-sea macrobenthos on the continental slope of the northwestern Mediterranean Sea: a quantitative approach [PDF]
, 1999 As part of the ECOMARGE operation (J.G.O.F.S. France), macrobenthic assemblages in the Toulon Canyon were described and quantified on the basis of sampling carried out between 250 and 2000 m depth on the Mediterranean continental slope. Results show that

Assemblages of certain benthic molluscs along the southwestern Atlantic: from subtidal to deep sea
BMC 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.

Internal Tide‐Driven Tracer Transport Across the Continental Slope [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2020 AbstractThe role of the internal tide in driving tracer transport across the continental slope is examined using simplified layered theory, channel model experiments, and observational diagnostics of near shelf‐edge moorings. The effect of the internal tide is interpreted in terms of its Stokes' drift, which is separated into two distinct components: a

Simulation of Winter Deep Slope Convection in Peter the Great Bay (Japan Sea)
Fluids, 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 ...

Multidecadal warming of Antarctic waters [PDF]
, 2014 Decadal trends in the properties of seawater adjacent to Antarctica are poorly known, and the mechanisms responsible for such changes are uncertain. Antarctic ice sheet mass loss is largely driven by ice shelf basal melt, which is influenced by ocean-ice
