Ocean maps are rarely in the scope of current studies on minimum-distortion map projec-tions. This study aims to create an uninterrupted projection display planet Earth as Blue Planet: aspect is rotated into middle water surface; favourable distortions optimized numerically across World Ocean. The paper starts with a short overview existing similar projections. In next pages, reader may find de...

The Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) onboard the Communication, Ocean, and Meteorological Satellite (COMS) is the first multi-channel ocean color imager in geostationary orbit. Hourly GOCI top-of-atmosphere radiance has been available for the retrieval of aerosol optical properties over East Asia since March 2011. This study presents improvements made to the GOCI Yonsei Aerosol Retrieval...

Passive acoustic monitoring is an efficient way to provide insights on the ecology of large whales. This approach allows for long-term and species-specific monitoring over large areas. In this study, we examined six years (2010 to 2015) of continuous acoustic recordings at up to seven different locations in the Central and Southern Indian Basin to assess the peak periods of presence, seasonalit...

This article provides a proof-of-concept for using a biogeochemical/ecosystem/optical model with radiative transfer component as a laboratory to explore aspects of ocean colour. We focus here on the satellite ocean colour Chlorophyll-a (Chl10 a) product provided by the often-used blue/green reflectance ratio algorithm. The model produces output that can be compared directly to the real world oc...

this study investigates the contributions of atlantic ocean to june-august rainfall over uganda and western kenya (ku). the study has utilized the datasets including precipitation from the global precipitation climatology centre, north atlantic oscillation index (naoi), south atlantic ocean dipole index (saodi), era-interim reanalysis, and the atlantic ocean sea surface temperature (sst). singu...


 The rapid development of the world creates increasingly fierce competition in business world. This is also exacerbated by emergence COVID-19 pandemic which has spread to various countries. presence affected many companies, both large and small. However, one sector that still capable molars Micro, Small Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). purpose this study explain describe differences implementa...

The marine picocyanobacteria Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus numerically dominate open ocean phytoplankton. Although evolutionarily related they are ecologically distinct, with different strategies to harvest, manage and exploit light. We grew representative strains of Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus and tracked their susceptibility to photoinactivation of Photosystem II under a range of li...

the purpose of this article, titled identify and ranking the affecting factors on align business strategy and human resource management practices with blue ocean approach and electric technique.in this study, after reviewing the theoretical studies and researches, a conceptual framework was developed. then using this information and the survey of experts. a questionnaire containing 28 questions...

As the climate warms, species that cannot tolerate changing conditions will only persist if they undergo range shifts. Redistribution ability may be particularly variable for benthic marine species that disperse as pelagic larvae in ocean currents. The blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, has recently experienced a warming-related range contraction in the southeastern USA and may face limitations to no...

Catadromous fishes migrate between ocean and freshwater during particular phases of their life cycle. The dramatic environmental changes shape their physiological features, e.g. visual sensitivity, olfactory ability, and salinity tolerance. Anguilla marmorata, a catadromous eel, migrates upstream on dark nights, following the lunar cycle. Such behavior may be correlated with ontogenetic changes...
