Effects of prior experience on shelter-seeking behavior of juvenile American lobsters
(University of Chicago, 2017-05-24)Shelter-seeking behaviors are vital for survival for a range of juvenile benthic organisms. These behaviors may be innate or they may be affected by prior experience. After hatching, American lobsters Homarus americanus ... -
Seasonally derived components of the Canada Basin halocline
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-05-26)The Arctic halocline stratification is an important barrier to the transport of deep ocean heat to the underside of sea ice. Surface water in the Chukchi Sea, warmed in summer by solar radiation, ventilates the Canada Basin ... -
Air-sea heat flux climatologies in the Mediterranean Sea : surface energy balance and its consistency with ocean heat storage Authors
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-05-16)This study provides an analysis of the Mediterranean Sea surface energy budget using nine surface heat flux climatologies. The ensemble mean estimation shows that the net downward shortwave radiation (192 ± 19 W m−2) is ... -
Rip currents and alongshore flows in single channels dredged in the surf zone
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-05-08)To investigate the dynamics of flows near nonuniform bathymetry, single channels (on average 30 m wide and 1.5 m deep) were dredged across the surf zone at five different times, and the subsequent evolution of currents and ... -
How well does wind speed predict air-sea gas transfer in the sea ice zone? A synthesis of radon deficit profiles in the upper water column of the Arctic Ocean
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-05-05)We present 34 profiles of radon-deficit from the ice-ocean boundary layer of the Beaufort Sea. Including these 34, there are presently 58 published radon-deficit estimates of air-sea gas transfer velocity (k) in the Arctic ... -
Targeted ocean sampling guidance for tropical cyclones
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-05-13)A 3-D variational ocean data assimilation adjoint approach is used to examine the impact of ocean observations on coupled tropical cyclone (TC) model forecast error for three recent hurricanes: Isaac (2012), Hilda (2015), ... -
Downstream evolution of the Kuroshio's time-varying transport and velocity structure
(John Wiley & Sons, 2017-05-02)Observations from two companion field programs—Origins of the Kuroshio and Mindanao Current (OKMC) and Observations of Kuroshio Transport Variability (OKTV)—are used here to examine the Kuroshio's temporal and spatial ... -
Grasshopper DCMD : an undergraduate electrophysiology lab for investigating single-unit responses to behaviorally-relevant stimuli
(Faculty of Undergraduate Neuroscience, 2017-05)Avoiding capture from a fast-approaching predator is an important survival skill shared by many animals. Investigating the neural circuits that give rise to this escape behavior can provide a tractable demonstration of ... -
Thallium isotopes as tracers of recycled materials in subduction zones : review and new data for lavas from Tonga-Kermadec and Central America
(2017-04)Sediment is actively being subducted in every convergent margin worldwide. Yet, geochemical data for arc lavas from several subduction zones, such as Northern Tonga and Costa Rica have revealed either attenuated or limited ... -
Protein arginine methyltransferases interact with intraflagellar transport particles and change location during flagellar growth and resorption
(American Society for Celll Biology, 2017-03-15)Changes in protein by posttranslational modifications comprise an important mechanism for the control of many cellular processes. Several flagellar proteins are methylated on arginine residues during flagellar resorption; ... -
Seismic imaging of magma sills beneath an ultramafic-hosted hydrothermal system
(2017-01)Hydrothermal circulation at mid-ocean ridge volcanic segments extracts heat from crustal magma bodies. However, the heat source driving hydrothermal circulation in ultramafic outcrops, where mantle rocks are exhumed in ... -
400 years of summer hydroclimate from stable isotopes in Iberian trees
(2016-11)Tree rings are natural archives that annually record distinct types of past climate variability depending on the parameters measured. Here, we use ring-width and stable isotopes in cellulose of trees from the northwestern ... -
Expanding the genetic toolkit in Xenopus : approaches and opportunities for human disease modeling
(Elsevier, 2016-04-22)The amphibian model Xenopus, has been used extensively over the past century to study multiple aspects of cell and developmental biology. Xenopus offers advantages of a non-mammalian system, including high fecundity, ... -
Effect of water activity on rates of serpentinization of olivine
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-07-14)The hydrothermal alteration of mantle rocks (referred to as serpentinization) occurs in submarine environments extending from mid-ocean ridges to subduction zones. Serpentinization affects the physical and chemical properties ... -
Organically bound iodine as a bottom-water redox proxy : preliminary validation and application
(2017-03-15)Carbonate-associated iodine (I/Ca) has been used as a proxy of local, upper-ocean redox conditions, and has successfully demonstrated highly dynamic spatial and temporal patterns across different time scales of Earth ... -
Frictional secondary circulation near an upwelled thermocline
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1982-12)A first order, linear analysis of thermocline upwelling shows that a quasigeostrophic baroclinic jet accompanies the upwelling. The secondary circulation induced in such a flow field in a meridional plane by turbulent ... -
A preliminary description of the CODE-1 field program
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1982-12)A Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE) has been undertaken to identify and study the important dynamical processes which govern the wind-driven motion of coastal water over the continental shelf. The initial effort ... -
Hydrographic station data obtained in the East China Sea, November 1981
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1982-10)A hydrographic survey was made on November 18-23, 1981 on the People's Republic of China R/V Shijian to measure the regional hydrographic structure in the East China Sea near the mouth of the Chang Jiang (Yangtze) River. ... -
Hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, and DDE in mussels and oysters from the U.S. Coast - 1965-1978 - the mussel watch
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1982-10)Mytilus edulis, Mytilus californianus, Crassostrea virginica and Ostrea equestris were sampled at 90 to 100 stations around the United States coastline during each of three years- 1976, 1977, 1978. Data for concentrations ... -
