Temporal and Spatial Scales
H uman activities have degraded substantial portions of the nation’s ecological resources, including physical and biological aquatic systems. The effects are continuing and cumulative, and few high-quality aquatic ecosystems remain in the United States. Concern about these diminishing resources has resulted in numerous restoration programs. Some are well conceived and address complex ecosystem ...
متن کاملThe decadal mean ocean circulation and Sverdrup balance
Elementary Sverdrup balance is tested in the context of the time-average of a 16-year duration time-varying ocean circulation estimate employing the great majority of globalscale data available between 1992 and 2007. The time-average circulation exhibits all of the conventional major features as depicted both through its absolute surface topography and vertically integrated transport stream fun...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal features of ENSO meridional scales
[1] The spatial and temporal features of the El Niño/ Southern Oscillation (ENSO) meridional scales are investigated using the Hadley Center Global Sea Ice and Sea Surface Temperature (HadISST) data for the period of 1950–2007. The results show that the meridional scales of the ENSO warm and cold events are asymmetric and exhibit interdecadal changes. The meridional extent of the sea surface te...
متن کاملCharacteristic spatial and temporal scales unify models of animal movement.
Animal movements have been modeled with diffusion at large scales and with more detailed movement models at smaller scales. We argue that the biologically relevant behavior of a wide class of movement models can be efficiently summarized with two parameters: the characteristic temporal and spatial scales of movement. We define these scales so that they describe movement behavior both at short s...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal scales of aquatic bacterial beta diversity
Understanding characteristic variation in aquatic bacterial community composition (BCC) across space and time can inform us about processes driving community assembly and the ability of bacterial communities to respond to perturbations. In this study, we synthesize BCC data from north temperate lakes to evaluate our current understanding of how BCC varies across multiple scales in time and spac...
