Cross-spectral techniques are used to analyze the relationship between gravity and bathymetry at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise crests. The resulting transfer functions were used to study the nature of the isostatic mechanism operative at these ridge crests. The most satisfactory results were obtained for models in which the oceanic lithosphere is treated as a thin elastic pla...

Observations of abyssal currents off eastern New Zealand are compared to results from the Los Alamos National Ž . Laboratory LANL global ocean circulation model. Physical oceanographic measurements are few along the 6000-km long path of the abyssal flow so they are supplemented by geological data including bottom photographs, nephelometer profiles, sediment analyses, and high resolution seismic...

Abstract Gresik Port, East Java, is a port that has very strategic location because there are several large industries such as the PT. Petrokimia Gresik, Semen Maspion, Wilmar, Pelindo III, and other factories. This condition makes need to obtain accurate necessary water information bathymetry. Bathymetry an essential parameter of management. There currently two types equipment used frequently ...

Three weakly nonlinear but fully dispersive Whitham–Boussinesq systems for uneven bathymetry are studied. The derivation and discretization of one system is presented. numerical solutions all three compared with wave gauge measurements from a series laboratory experiments conducted by Dingemans (Comparison computations Boussinesq-like models measurements. Delft Hydraulics memo H168412, 1994). r...

[1] Peacock [2010, P10 hereafter] takes issue with several aspects of our recent article [Gherardi et al., 2009, G09 hereafter]: (1) our description of the modern Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), (2) apparent inconsistencies between modern circulation and our Holocene sedimentary Pa/Th bathymetric profile, and (3) our use of cores for reconstructing AMOC from locations that d...
