Annual Review of Marine Science, 2021
Frontogenesis is the fluid-dynamical processes that rapidly sharpen horizontal density gradients and their associated horizontal velocity shears. It is a positive feedback process where the ageostrophic, overturning secondary circulation in the cross-front plane accelerates the frontal sharpening until an arrest occurs through frontal instability and ...

Climatic Change, 1978
Desertification can be a particularly visible consequence of climatic change. While considerable research has been devoted to terrestrial desertification in recent years, it is in the sea that biological deserts comprise 90% of the total area. Productive ocean ‘oases’ or coastal upwelling areas comprise less than .1% of the total ocean area but yield ...

Ocean protection covers activities in two types of area: within and beyond national jurisdiction. It seeks to reduce serious pressures on the marine environment, such as: overfishing, ocean acidification, climate change, and pollution. The ocean itself is a complex social-ecological system, a dense network of carbon, heat, plankton, and fish. The ocean

The phenomena of tides are a matter of common experience: ocean tides under the influence of the Moon and the Sun, differences of the surface level of the oceans reaching several meters, following well-established cycles. In the present chapter we propose a first step in the general and classical mathematical formulations of the tidal potential and ...

The Southern Ocean cephalopod fauna is distinctive, with high levels of endemism in the squid and particularly in the octopodids. Loliginid squid, sepiids and sepiolids are absent from the Southern Ocean, and all the squid are oceanic pelagic species.

Oceans Created: Oceans Destroyed
2019Oceans have been created, and oceans have been destroyed many times in the Earth’s history by plate tectonics. In this chapter we shall meet Alfred Wegner and learn about his early theory of continental drift and its problems. Rivals to Wegner’s theory were the shrinking Earth theory and the expanding Earth theory, but they had problems of their own ...

On 19 April 1866, the 2300 ton steamer Agamemnon, set out from Liverpool on a historic voyage. Agamemnon was a square-rigged barque, powered by high pressure compound engines, and she carried cargo for Penang, Hong Kong, and Shanghai. Within a few months two sister ships, Ajax and Achilles, had set out on similar journeys.

Ocean geography for ocean science
GeoJournal, 1999The expanding needs for ocean resources, together with the design and diffusion of new kinds of deep-ocean and coastal management patterns, have changed profoundly in the transition from modern to post-modern society. As a result, the scientific approach to the ocean has also undergone profound changes, which have marked the epistemology of disciplines,
