Spreading and mixing of large river plumes in the World Ocean

Frontiers in Marine Science
River plumes are important parts of the land–ocean matter fluxes and provide the key stage of transformation of river discharge and river-borne matter in the sea. However, both the plume-sea mixing budget and the ultimate fate of continental discharge in

Evolutions of the seasonal anticyclonic circulation around the Qingdao cold water mass in the China marginal sea and its mechanism [PDF]

Ocean Science
The circulation structure surrounding the Qingdao cold water mass in 2019 was investigated using three-dimensional ensembles of numerical simulations. This study reveals that a cold pool appears in early spring and reaches its peak in late May, and this ...

Hydrodynamic and sediment transport numerical modelling and applications at Tairua Estuary, New Zealand

, 2014
Tairua Estuary is a partially mixed estuary located on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, North Island, New Zealand. Like many estuaries worldwide, Tairua Estuary is experiencing rapid sedimentation, which is causing a range of environmental and

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Absolute Axes and Tidal Forces [PDF]

Nature, 1947
IT has been shown1 that at any point of space-time, whether empty or occupied by matter, it is possible to define a system of absolute axial directions, independently of the Ricci tensor, and, in general, uniquely. The method makes use of a tensor which has since been proved by Ruse2 to be identical with the conformal curvature tensor of Weyl.

Earth's flattening effect on the tidal forcing field

, 1983
A small part of the tidal forcing field whose contribution is omitted in the conventional spherical harmonic development of the tidal potential is caused by the flattening of the Earth.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Storm Surge Barriers Reduce Seaward Sediment Supply to Lagoonal Estuaries

Earth's Future
Numerical simulations with realistic forcing of fixed infrastructure for a proposed storm surge barrier for a lagoonal estuary, Jamaica Bay (New York, USA), are analyzed during typical forcing conditions to assess alterations to flow and sediment ...

Understanding tidal dissipation in gaseous giant planets from their core to their surface

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015
Tidal dissipation in planetary interiors is one of the key physical mechanisms that drive the evolution of star-planet and planet-moon systems. Tidal dissipation in planets is intrinsically related to their internal structure.

Addressing the Energy Trilemma: The Role of Entrepreneurship, Regulation, and Climate Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Balancing energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability has become increasingly challenging as economies pursue low‐carbon growth amid climate risk and persistent disparities in access to modern energy. Although entrepreneurship is widely recognized as a driver of innovation, its role in addressing the energy trilemma ...
