Virus Effect on Marine Synechococcus Spp. Loss in Subtropical Western Pacific Coastal Waters During Winter

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
Little is known about microbial processes and the effect that viruses have on Synechococcus spp. in aquatic environments. This study investigated diel variations in the Synechococcus spp. abundance in three size-fractionated water samples (200, 10, and 2

Abundant Landslides Associated with Extreme Weather Change During the 2009 Typhoon Morakot

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
The abundance of landslides that occurred in Taiwan in August of 2009 is not only attributed to extremely heavy rainfall but also extreme weather change from a dry period that occurred one month before the landslides to extremely heavy rainfall within a ...

Lower Mantle Electrical Conductivity Inferred from Probabilistic Tomography

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
Electrical conductivity is a potentially powerful observable that may be used in combination with seismological models to investigate the 3D thermo-chemical structure of the _ mantle because it depends upon both temperature and compositional parameters ...

Ocean Sciences Section objectives

open access: yesEos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1987
Earlier this year, I set up an ad hoc Objectives Committee for the AGU Ocean Sciences Section (OSS). This committee met and discussed two topics of growing concern to U.S. oceanographers: the schedule of AGU/OSS national meetings, and the future of The Oceanography Report (TOR) in Eos.The committee members present for the discussion were the current ...

The Crustal Thickness of the Philippine Sea Plate Derived from Gravity Data

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
We constructed a new free-air gravity anomaly map of the Philippine Sea Plate (PSP) using ship-tracked gravity data from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC).

Ocean Circulation on Tide-locked Lava Worlds, Part II: Scalings [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
On tidally locked lava planets, magma ocean can form on the permanent dayside. The circulation of the magma ocean can be driven by stellar radiation and atmospheric winds. The strength of ocean circulation and the depth of the magma ocean depend on external forcings and the dominant balance of the momentum equation.

Velocity Field Derived from Taiwan Continuous GPS Array (2007 - 2013)

open access: yesTerrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, 2015
Data were collected from 281 Taiwan continuous Global Positioning System (cGPS) Array sites from 2007 - 2013 and processed with GAMIT/GLOBK software. Power spectral density stacking from cGPS position time series in Taiwan found the spectral index as -0 ...

The dynamics of internal gravity waves in the ocean: theory and applications [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
In this paper we consider fundamental processes of the disturbance and propagation of internal gravity waves in the ocean modeled as a vertically stratified, horizontally non-uniform, and non-stationary medium. We develop asymptotic methods for describing the wave dynamics by generalizing the spatiotemporal ray-tracing method (a geometrical optics ...
