The SIM-DL theory has been developed to enable similarity measurement between concept specifications using description logics. It thus closes the gap between similarity theories from psychology and formal representation languages from the AI community, such as the Web Ontology Language (OWL). In this paper, we present the results of a human participants test which investigates the cognitive pla...

Decadal changes of abyssal temperature in the Pacific Ocean are analyzed using high-quality, full-depth hydrographic sections, each occupied at least twice between 1984 and 2006. The deep warming found over this time period agrees with previous analyses. The analysis presented here suggests it may have occurred after 1991, at least in the North Pacific. Mean temperature changes for the three zo...

Abstract The acquisition of bathymetric data in shallower waters is difficult to attain using traditional survey methods because the areas investigate may not be accessible hydrographic vessels, due risk grounding. For this reason, use satellite detection depth (satellite-derived bathymetry, SDB) constitutes a particularly useful and also economically advantageous alternative. In fact, approach...

Many of the attempts to introduce a universal hydrographic binary data format have failed or have been only partially successful. In essence, this is because such formats either have to simplify the data to such an extent that they only support the lowest common subset of all the formats covered, or they attempt to be a superset of all formats and quickly become cumbersome. Neither choice works...

Water mass transformation in the North Atlantic is examined in an eddy-permitting simulation with the OCCAM ocean general circulation model, forced by realistic surface fluxes over the period 1985–2002. Three Atlantic regions are considered – the subtropics, mid-latitudes, the northeast Atlantic – along with the Labrador Sea. The oceanic boundaries of each region coincide with hydrographic sect...
