Searching for Subsurface Oceans on the Moons of Uranus Using Magnetic Induction
, 2021 The icy moons of Uranus may contain subsurface oceans. Such oceans could be detected and characterized using measurements of magnetic fields induced by Uranus' time-varying magnetospheric field.

Lidar equation for ocean surface and subsurface
Optics Express, 2010 The lidar equation for ocean at optical wavelengths including subsurface signals is revisited using the recent work of the radiative transfer and ocean color community for passive measurements. The previous form of the specular and subsurface echo term are corrected from their heritage, which originated from passive remote sensing of whitecaps, and is ...

Subsurface Chlorophyll-a Maxima in the Southern Ocean [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Our review of the literature has revealed Southern Ocean subsurface chlorophyll-a maxima (SCMs) to be an annually recurrent feature throughout the basin. Most of these SCMs are different to the “typical” SCMs observed in the tropics, which are maintained by the nutrient-light co-limitation of phytoplankton growth.

Subsurface plankton layers in the Arctic Ocean [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2015 AbstractThe first synoptic measurements of subsurface plankton layers were made in the western Arctic Ocean in July 2014 using airborne lidar. Layers were detected in open water and in pack ice where up to 90% of the surface was covered by ice. Layers under the ice were less prevalent, weaker, and shallower than those in open water.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The viruses play an important role in limiting bacterial abundance in oceans and, hence, in regulating bacterial biogeochemical functions. A cruise was conducted in September 2005 along a transect in the deep South China Sea (SCS). The results showed the

A Tale of Tides: Icy Satellites, Subsurface Oceans, and Tightly-Packed Planetary Systems
, 2020 Tides, a consequence of differential gravitational forces, are one of the fundamental processes that govern the evolution of planetary bodies. They lead to deformation that causes heating via friction, changes in rotation through applied torques, and ...

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Some icy moons and small bodies in the solar system are believed to host subsurface liquid water oceans. The interaction of these saline, electrically conductive oceans with time-varying external magnetic fields generates induced magnetic fields ...

Laboratory exploration of mineral precipitates from Europa's subsurface ocean [PDF]
Journal of Applied Crystallography, 2021 The precipitation of hydrated phases from a chondrite-like Na–Mg–Ca–SO4–Cl solution is studied usingin situsynchrotron X-ray powder diffraction, under rapid- (360 K h−1,T= 250–80 K,t= 3 h) and ultra-slow-freezing (0.3 K day−1,T = 273–245 K,t= 242 days) conditions.

Fjord circulation permits a persistent subsurface water mass in a long, deep mid-latitude inlet [PDF]
Ocean ScienceFjords are deep nearshore zones that connect watersheds and oceans, typically behaving as an estuary. In some fjords, strong katabatic winds in winter (also known as Arctic outflow wind events) can lead to cooling and reoxygenation of subsurface waters ...
