Atlantis and the Permanency of the North Atlantic Ocean Bottom.
In 1912 Prof. Pierre Termier, the director of the Geological Survey of France, delivered before the Oceanographic Institute of Paris a very interesting and stimulating lecture on the probable existence of Plato's Atlantis. This lecture is now published in English in the Annual Report of the Smithsonian Institution for 1915 (1916), pages 219-234. In his lecture the speaker drew a conclusion that...
متن کاملOcean Basin Geometry and the Salinification of the Atlantic Ocean
A coupled atmosphere–sea ice–ocean model is used in an aqua-planet setting to examine the role of the basin geometry for the climate and ocean circulation. The basin geometry has a present-day-like topology with two idealized northern basins and a circumpolar ocean in the south.A suite of experiments is described in which the southward extents of the two (gridpoint wide) ‘‘continents’’ and the ...
متن کاملMarine protected areas and ocean basin management
1. All reserve designs must be guided by an understanding of natural history and habitat variability. 2. Differences in scale and predictability set aside highly dynamic pelagic systems from terrestrial and nearshore ecosystems, where wildlife reserves were first implemented. Yet, as in static systems, many pelagic species use predictable habitats to breed and forage. Marine protected areas (MP...
متن کاملChallenges of modeling ocean basin ecosystems.
With increasing pressure for a more ecological approach to marine fisheries and environmental management, there is a growing need to understand and predict changes in marine ecosystems. Biogeochemical and physical oceanographic models are well developed, but extending these further up the food web to include zooplankton and fish is a major challenge. The difficulty arises because organisms at h...
متن کاملA Near-Annual Pacific Ocean Basin Mode
Some fairly regular and nearly annual variability in the equatorial Pacific after the major 1997/98 El Niño event is studied. Sea level, sea surface temperature (SST), and surface wind anomalies of this variability are tied together in a way similar to the slow cycles of El Niño–Southern Oscillations (ENSO). Despite a slightly longer-than-annual time scale, similar variability was also found in...
