Can tidal perturbations associated with sea level variations in the western Pacific Ocean be used to understand future effects of tidal evolution?

Effects of Spartina alterniflora invasion on distribution of Moerella iridescens in a tidal flat of Western Pacific Ocean

The invasion of Spartina alterniflora significantly affected the local ecosystem of Western Pacific Ocean where Moerella iridescens lives. Five patches with different invasion stages of S. alterniflora were selected and the influence on distribution of M. iridescens was studied on the coast of Wenzhou Bay, China in 2007. The aggregated distribution pattern was proved by using Taylor&#39s power ...

Morphologically and microscopically identification of sea cucumbers in the tidal zone of the western coast of the Persian Gulf

Abstract The morphological identification and investigation of the internal skeletal structure of sea cucumbers in the tidal zone of the western coast of the Persian Gulf were performed by sampling from 2 stations (Bostaneh Port and Hendurabi Island). Species identification were performed using the Spicules detected form muscle tissue of the samples by Invert microscope and checked with valid ...

Energy characteristics of tidal and residual level variations in the Okhotsk Sea from satellite altimetry data

A unified satellite altimetry database, TOPEX/Poseidon (1993–2002) and Jason-1 (2002–2007) containing about 7,000 locations, was created for the Okhotsk Sea and adjacent areas. Amplitudes and phases of main tidal consituents were calculated for each location, and maps of tidal character and height were constructed. It is shown that diurnal waves dominate in the amphidromic areas of semidiurnal ...
