The diurnal and seasonal variations of the northern Australian dryline are examined by constructing climatologies of low-level dynamic and thermodynamic variables taken from the high-resolution Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s Limited Area Prediction Scheme (LAPS) forecasts from 2000 to 2003. The development of the dryline is analyzed within the framework of the frontogenesis function applied...

Black Sea receives 1,125,839 tons of organic matter, 575,000 tons mineral nitrogen, 55,000 tons mineral phosphorus, 30,000 tons organic phosphorus, 90,000 tons iron, 206,000 tons petroleum and petroleum products, 48,000 tons surfactant, 12,000 tons zinc, 67,000 tons manganese, 4,500 tons lead, 2,800 tons copper, 900 tons cadmium and 80 tons of mercury in a year from land based sources. All thes...

Within the Ukrainian sector of Black Sea, Albian-Cenomanian rift faults formed three large basins, which consisted a system grabens and half-grabens. One sublatitude basins occupied modern Karkinit Trough, Krylov-Zmiiny Uplift, Gubkin Ridge Sulina Depression on Odesa Shelf. The second basin Tetyaev High, Sorokin Marine Continuation Crimean Folds and, apparently, Mountains. third extended from n...

The increasing necessity of scientific evidence on the socioeconomic impacts of MPAs, as well as acknowledging them, is of relevance for marine policies. This is especially important at the regional level, such as for the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. However, since a previous work carried out in 2000, no study has analyzed the most recent findings, or performed a comparative review of the s...

An operational model for the prediction of circulation and transport of oil spill in the Black Sea is presented. The hydrodynamic block is developed on the basis of the DieCAST high-resolution low-dissipative model adapted to the Black Sea. The oil spill transport block is constructed on the basis of the random walk approach, which allows predicting motion of individual particles, the assembly ...

Abstract The Pacific and Philippine Sea Plate subductions have resulted in controlled the development of a typical trench‐arc‐back‐arc system NE Asia since Cenozoic. formation widely distributed intraplate volcanoes dynamic pattern entire region are still debated. Here we constructed three‐dimensional anisotropic S‐wave velocity model by inverting Rayleigh wave dispersion using modified reversi...

Over recent decades, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet has experienced rapid thinning of its floating ice shelves as well grounding line retreat across marine-terminating glaciers. The transport warm Modified Circumpolar Deep Water (MCDW) onto continental shelf, extensively documented along Peninsula (WAP), and in Amundsen Sea, been identified key process for inducing these changes. Bellingshausen S...

The objectives of the present study were to compare growth performance and feed conversion ratios of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Black Sea trout (Salmo trutta labrax) in monoculture and duo-culture tank reared conditions. The fish were about 9-month-old hatchery reared brook trout and Black Sea trout with initial weights of 24.18±0.64 (n=60) and 23.87±1.11 (n=60) g, respectively. Fi...

1. introduction the effect of blocking on iran’s precipitation in numeral way and long-term has not been done yet. however, in some researches based on weak indexes like one-dimension has been implied to iran that in studying many cases we observe lack of blocking event and or their continuation that has been for less than 5 days. this phenomenon in some cases occurs in our country directly and...

Divergent flow of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet on the outer continental shelf of the Amundsen Sea during the late Quaternary" (2007). Related Publications from ANDRILL Affiliates. Paper 7. Summary Understanding the past glacial history of regions undergoing potential rapid deglaciation is essential in order to estimate the possible threat of sea level rise. Recently acquired data have given new...
