Coastal and Ocean Engineering
This course introduces maritime engineering, encompassing coastal and ocean engineering. It concentrates on providing an understanding of the many processes at work when the tides, storms and waves interact with the natural and human environments. The course will be a mixture of description and theory – it is hoped that by understanding the theory that the practice will be made all the easier. ...
متن کاملLipid classes and fatty acids in plankton and settling matter during the spring bloom in a cold ocean coastal environment
Lipid concentration and composition were measured in net-tow and sediment trap samples during the spring diatom bloom in Conception Bay, Newfoundland, to determine the quantity and quality of material settling from the upper mixed layer into the benthic food web. An experiment was also conducted to estimate trap accuracy and precision, in which trap poisoning was found to reduce bacterially med...
متن کاملMonitoring Bloom Dynamics of a Common Coastal Bioluminescent Ctenophore
As naval operations move into coastal waters, the possible impact of sporadic blooms of bioluminescent organisms on clandestine operations is of increasing concern. One such bloom forming light producer is the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi. This native-American comb jelly was first introduced into the Black Sea in 1982 where it caused the total collapse of the local fisheries. It has recently b...
متن کاملToward Accurate Coastal Ocean Prediction
Several major problems, namely, uncertain surface forcing function, unknown open boundary conditions (OBC), and pressure gradient error using the acoordinate, affect the accuracy of coastal ocean prediction. At open lateral boundaries where the numerical grid ends, the fluid motion should be unrestricted. Ideal open boundaries are transparent to motions. The most popular and successful scheme i...
متن کاملWinter bloom of a rare betaproteobacterium in the Arctic Ocean
Extremely low abundance microorganisms (members of the "rare biosphere") are believed to include dormant taxa, which can sporadically become abundant following environmental triggers. Yet, microbial transitions from rare to abundant have seldom been captured in situ, and it is uncertain how widespread these transitions are. A bloom of a single ribotype (≥99% similarity in the 16S ribosomal RNA ...
