This book was released on 2009 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The Odden event is a dominant mode of the Arctic sea ice variability, which is very important for the Arctic climate. The Odden sea ice feature extends northeastward from the Arctic pack ice of the east Greenland Sea during winter and spring, typically covering an area between 8°W and 5°E, and between 73° and 77°N. The key causes and forcing of Odden sea ice variability in the atmosphere and ocean is examined using the Community Sea Ice Model5.0 (CSIM5) within a Slab Ocean Model (SOM) called the M configuration of Community Climate System Model3.0 (CCSM3) provided by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). A 26 year control run is made with the T62 NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis (NNR) atmospheric data from 1979 - 2004, and the simulated northern Atlantic sea ice is compared with that from the Hadley Center Sea ice and Sea Surface Temperature (HadISST) observational dataset in order to evaluate the model's capabilities. The control run sea ice data were subjected to a rotated principal component analysis (RPCA) that revealed a component (#3) mode of variability that exhibited Odden-like variability similar to that obtained in observational data. To further investigate the single or multiple effects from the atmospheric and oceanic parameters associating with the Odden sea ice, 18 experiments are conducted with the NNR and a 1° x 1° Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA) for the atmospheric and oceanic forcing, respectively. In one set of experiments the atmosphere and ocean model are run simultaneously in efforts to simulate the Odden while other experiments evaluate Odden forcing of individual atmospheric parameters with other parameter forcing being held in a non-Odden state. Model forcing data for Odden ice conditions are from 1997 (January - December) while those from 1994 are used as the forcing for non-Odden conditions, in keeping with observational studies. Results show that the model sea ice concentration (SIC) and ice thickness exhibit large variability in an area on the eastern end of the Odden region found in observational data. It does so particularly in response to air temperature and surface wind and ocean current forcing when the model output is averaged from February through April and May through July. The annual cycle of model parameter output shows that SIC peaks from March through May in experiments with full atmospheric forcing in the Odden and non-Odden years and where the ocean is held to climatological forcing. Parameters such as air temperature, overlying winds, longwave radiation, specific humidity and surface ocean currents make some of the larger contributions to SIC and ice thickness variations through the model year. At the time of peak model SIC and thickness (e.g., April, May) the wind forcing and that of surface currents appear to be larger than the SIC/thickness contribution by air temperature. In other words, the Odden mode in the model is mainly produced by dynamical effects of atmospheric winds and ocean currents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the last volume in the six-volume Open University set. Each volume is required by students as a relevant part of the Open University course but designed so that it can equally be used as an individual textbook. This volume differs from the others in the series in that it does not draw specifically upon traditional scientific disciplines. The first part of the book provides an historical review of the Law of the Sea culminating in the present day situation. The second part is devoted to two case studies, covering not only the scientific aspects of a particular oceanographic environment, but also the social, political and legal consequences and implications of human interactions with that environment. Each volume in this set is well laid out and copiously illustrated with full colour photographs. Questions to help develop arguments can be found in the text with answers provided at the back. Each chapter concludes with a summary to help consolidate understanding before proceeding with the next section.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents the most relevant research of the participants of the VII International Conference of Young Scientists "Complex Investigation of the World Ocean" (CIWO-2023). This conference was held at Saint Petersburg State University in May 15-19, 2023 (Saint Petersburg, Russia). It covers a wide range of fundamental and applied marine and limnology studies combined in eight sections: Ocean Physics, Ocean Biology, Ocean Chemistry, Marine Geology, Marine Geophysics, Marine Ecology and Environmental Management, Physical and Biological interactions (interdisciplinary section), Oceanological Technology and Instrumentation. The aim of this book is to show the relevance of the marine research due to the crucial role of the World Ocean in determining climate change on Earth, huge resources (fish resources, oil, gas and ore deposits, etc.) and intensive development of infrastructure in coastal and offshore zones. All these topics were marked within the framework of realization of the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030). The studies presented in the book covers the wide spectrum of different the most important marine and limnology issues: thermohaline structure of water body and interactions between ocean and atmosphere, dynamic of the ocean, marine ice in polar regions, biodiversity of the marine ecosystems, adaptation of marine life to climate changes, geological and geophysical investigations in oil and gas regions, sedimentation, paleooceanology and biostratigraphy, hydrochemistry of estuary regions and carbon fluxes, microplastic pollution of the ocean, eutrophication and etc.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 904 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on "Paleoclimatology and Paleometeorology: Modem and Past Patterns of Global Atmospheric Transport" (held at Oracle, Arizona, USA from November 17-19, 1987) brought together atmospheric chemists, physicists, and meteorologists who study the origin and transport of modem-day mineral and biological aerosols with geologists and paleobotanists who study the sedimentary record of eolian and hydrologic processes along with modelers who study and conceptualize the processes influencing atmospheric transport at present and in the past. Presentations at the workshop provided a guide to our present knowledge of the entire spectrum of processes and phenomena important to the generation, transport, and deposition of eolian terrigenous material that ultimately becomes part of the geologic record and the modeling techniques that used to represent these processes. The presenta tions on the geologic record of eolian deposition documented our present understanding of the na~e and causes of climate change on time scales of the last glacial ages (tens of thousands of years) to time scales over which the arrangement of continents, mountains, and oceans has changed sub stantially (tens of millions of years). There has been a growing recognition of the importance of global climatic changes to the future well-being of humanity. In particular, the climatic response to human alterations to the earth's surface and chemical composition has led to concern over the agricultural, ecological, and societal impacts of such potential global changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to examine and test the hypothesis that the multiyear sea ice variability in the East Greenland Current is related to the El Nino/Southern Oscillation phenomenon and/or the North Atlantic Oscillation via atmospheric teleconnections. 'Teleconnection' is defined here, after Wallace and Gutzler (1981), as significant simultaneous correlations between temporal fluctuations in oceanic and atmospheric parameters at widely separated points on the earth. The teleconnections included in this test are the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and the North Atlantic Oscillation Index (NAO). Anomalous monthly time series for the sea ice extent, SOI, and the NAO are examined for the 25-year period of 1953-1977. The results show that the sea ice anomaly is negatively correlated with the SOI anomaly when the sea ice lags the SOI 24 to 29 months. Cross correlations of the data sets by season failed to reveal any significant seasonal dependence. Keywords: El Nino; Air sea interactions.

Book excerpt: " ... as soon as one has traversed the greater part of the wild sea, one comes upon such a huge quantity of ice that nowhere in the whole world has the like been known." "This ice is of a wonderful nature. It lies at times quite still, as one would expect, with openings or large fjords in it; but sometimes its movement is so strong and rapid as to equal that of a ship running before the wind, and it drifts against the wind as often as with it."
