A new perspective for assessing water transport and associated retention effects in a large reservoir
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-09-23)Radioactive tracer techniques may be useful for assessing water transport and the overall effects of concurrent biogeochemical processes in river‐reservoir systems. In this study, we show that radium isotopes can assess ... -
Near‐surface environmentally forced changes in the Ross Ice Shelf observed with ambient seismic noise
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-16)Continuous seismic observations across the Ross Ice Shelf reveal ubiquitous ambient resonances at frequencies >5 Hz. These firn‐trapped surface wave signals arise through wind and snow bedform interactions coupled with ... -
Transport of Pacific water into the Canada Basin and the formation of the Chukchi Slope Current
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-22)A high‐resolution regional ocean model together with moored hydrographic and velocity measurements is used to identify the pathways and mechanisms by which Pacific water, modified over the Chukchi shelf, crosses the shelf ... -
Impact of seabed resuspension on oxygen and nitrogen dynamics in the northern Gulf of Mexico : a numerical modeling study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-15)Resuspension affects water quality in coastal environments by entraining seabed organic matter into the water column, which can increase remineralization, alter seabed fluxes, decrease water clarity, and affect oxygen and ... -
Turbulent mixing in a far‐field plume during the transition to upwelling conditions : microstructure observations from an AUV
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-09-23)A REMUS 600 autonomous underwater vehicle was used to measure turbulent mixing within the far‐field Chesapeake Bay plume during the transition to upwelling. Prior to the onset of upwelling, the plume was mixed by a combination ... -
A lack of dynamic triggering of slow slip and tremor indicates that the shallow Cascadia megathrust offshore Vancouver Island is likely locked
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-27)Great subduction zone earthquakes vary considerably in the updip extent of megathrust rupture. It is unclear if this diversity reflects variations in interseismic strain accumulation owing to the limited number of subduction ... -
Examining the origins of ocean heat content variability in the eastern North Atlantic subpolar gyre
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-27)We analyze sources of ocean heat content (OHC) variability in the eastern North Atlantic subpolar gyre from both Eulerian and Lagrangian perspectives within two ocean simulations from 1990 to 2015. Heat budgets reveal that ... -
Larval krill studies - fluorescence and clearance from ARSV Laurence M. Gould LMG0106, LMG0205 in the Southern Ocean from 2001-2002 (SOGLOBEC project)
(Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO). Contact: bco-dmo-data@whoi.edu, 2018-12-07)The goal of the larval krill studies was to investigate the physiology and ecology of krill larvae associated with the pack ice and the microbial community on which they feed. During LMG0106 we occupied two 4-5 day ice ... -
New definition of potential spicity by the least square method
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-16)A differentiable function whose contours are orthogonal to potential density (σ) contours does not exist. However, such a function, called potential spicity (π), can be defined in the least square sense; these two functions ... -
The Bermuda Triangle : the pragmatics, policies, and principles for data sharing in the history of the Human Genome Project
(Springer, 2018-11-02)The Bermuda Principles for DNA sequence data sharing are an enduring legacy of the Human Genome Project (HGP). They were adopted by the HGP at a strategy meeting in Bermuda in February of 1996 and implemented in formal ... -
Gulf Stream variability in the context of quasi‐decadal and multidecadal Atlantic climate variability
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-10-20)The Gulf Stream plays an important role in North Atlantic climate variability on a range of timescales. The North Atlantic is notable for large decadal variability in sea surface temperatures (SST). Whether this variability ... -
A new framework for near‐surface wind convergence over the Kuroshio Extension and Gulf Stream in wintertime : the role of atmospheric fronts
(John Wiley & Sons, 2018-11-21)It is well known that the wintertime time‐mean surface wind convergence patterns over the Kuroshio Extension and Gulf Stream show significant imprints of the underlying oceanic fronts. Previous studies have suggested that ... -
Horizontal divergence and vorticity estimates from velocity and temperature measurements in the MODE region
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1977-11)Estimates of horizontal derivatives of velocity made by differencing velocity measurements are used to show that the observed velocity field due to low-frequency mesoscale motions during the preliminary MidOcean Dynamics ... -
A compilation of moored current data and associated oceanographic observations : volume XII (1973 Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (MODE))
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1976-11)Summaries are presented of basic current, temperature and pressure measurements which were made from moored instruments as a part of the Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (MODE) which took place March to July 1973. Current ... -
Multiscale spatio-temporal patterns of boat noise on U.S. Virgin Island coral reefs
(2018-09)Sound-sensitive organisms are abundant on coral reefs. Accordingly, experiments suggest that boat noise could elicit adverse effects on coral reef organisms. Yet, there are few data quantifying boat noise prevalence on ... -
Shore-based receivers used in POLYMODE program
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1976-08)Since the productive lifetime of the POLYMODE Float Program encompasses several years, the need exists for a handbook that will serve as a maintenance manual as well as a permanent record for each Shore-Based Signal ... -
A quasi-Lagrangian study of mid-ocean variability using long range SOFAR floats
(Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1976-04)Twenty neutrally buoyant SOFAR floats were used in the Mid-Ocean Dynamics Experiment (MODE) to study the structure and variability of the deep ocean currents. The floats were clustered so that the pattern of motions could ... -
Daily changes in phytoplankton lipidomes reveal mechanisms of energy storage in the open ocean
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-12-05)Sunlight is the dominant control on phytoplankton biosynthetic activity, and darkness deprives them of their primary external energy source. Changes in the biochemical composition of phytoplankton communities over diel ... -
Coupled x-ray fluorescence and x-ray absorption spectroscopy for microscale imaging and identification of sulfur species within tissues and skeletons of scleractinian corals
(2018-10)Identifying and mapping the wide range of sulfur species within complex matrices presents a challenge for under-standing the distribution of these important biomolecules within environmental and biological systems. Here, ... -
