Evidence for the inherent unsteadiness of a river plume: Satellite observations of the Niagara River discharge
We ; present satellite data from the Niagara River plume showing that a large eddy, or bulge, forms and grows in the plume near the mouth of the river. The plume consists of a semicircular bulge region immediately offshore of the mouth and a narrow current that propagates east along the shoreline. During the low-wind period from 27 to 29 May 1999, the width of the bulge more than doubled and th...
متن کاملEvidence for external forcing of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation since termination of the Little Ice Age
The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) represents a significant driver of Northern Hemisphere climate, but the forcing mechanisms pacing the AMO remain poorly understood. Here we use the available proxy records to investigate the influence of solar and volcanic forcing on the AMO over the last ~450 years. The evidence suggests that external forcing played a dominant role in pacing the AMO ...
متن کاملNutrient utilisation and weathering inputs in the Peruvian upwelling region since the Little Ice Age
For this study two sediment cores from the Peruvian shelf covering the time period between the Little Ice Age (LIA) and present were examined for changes in productivity (biogenic opal concentrations (bSi)), nutrient utilisation (stable isotope compositions of silicon (δSiopal) and nitrogen (δNsed)), as well as in ocean circulation and material transport (authigenic and detrital radiogenic neod...
متن کاملThe Hydraulics of River Ice
Henry S. Santeford;"~ln'd GeorgeR . Alger Department of Civil Engineering, Michigan Technological University Houghton, MI 49931 U.S.A. INTRODUCTION The formation and occurrence of an ice cover on an open channel may cause a very dynamic alteration in the flow characteristics. At times, the alterations will represent some of the largest natural changes that will occur on a giVen stream. Yet, Dn ...
متن کاملArctic river discharge trends since 7ka BP
a r t i c l e i n f o The Arctic hydrological cycle throughout the Holocene is analyzed based on the results of transient simulations with the coupled atmosphere-ocean circulation model ECHO-G. The results suggest a ~ 2% increase of mid-Holocene to preindustrial Arctic river discharges for the Eurasian continent. However, rivers of the North America Arctic realm show a moderate runoff decline o...
