Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are only now beginning to understand the climatic impact of the remarkable events that are now occurring in subarctic waters. Researchers, however, have yet to agree upon a predictive model that links change in our northern seas to climate. This volume brings together the body of evidence needed to develop climate models that quantify the ocean exchanges through subarctic seas, measure their variability, and gauge their impact on climate.

Book excerpt: Highlighting twenty years of U.S. scientific research conducted since the International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957-58, this volume marks a turning point in the history of polar investigations and provides a lucid summary of the contributions of many distinguished scientists. The authors provide an overview of major polar research programs, past and present; explore concepts derived, from highly interrelated aspects of physical and life sciences; and seek to offer a glimpse of future polar science and polar development. The introduction briefly describes major physical, biological, and interdisciplinary research programs, as well as the magnitude, extent, and international character of contemporary polar science. Twenty years of polar biological investigations are then reviewed, and subsequent chapters address principles and advances in meteorology, physical oceanography, glaciology, and the geological evidence that hears on the origin of Antarctica. These physical sciences delineate a matrix for the polar biospheres and provide a background for understanding the major categories of structure and dynamic functioning of the marine ecosystem, polar marine mammals, adaptational physiology, and terrestrial biotic adaptations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greenland-Scotland Ridge influences the exchange of warm and cold water masses between the North Atlantic and the Nordic Sea, a circulation with significant impact on global ocean circulation and climate. This study examines aspects of the exchange east of Iceland. Data from three years of intense Seaglider hydrographic surveys of the region are used. The dense overflows across the Iceland-Faroe Ridge (IFR) and Faroe Bank Channel (FBC) are investigated in Chapter 2. The flow of dense overflow on the Atlantic side of the IFR is found to be directed along-slope with speeds averaging 21.5 cm/s. The overflow/ambient interface lays parallel to the IFR topography. Mesoscale eddy deformation of the interface is generally small compared with the topographically induced slope. The mean FBC overflow transport is estimated at 1.8±0.2 Sv, and an indirect calculation produces a lower bound estimate of IFR overflow of 0.8 Sv. The dominant IFR overflow branch (mean 0.48 Sv) is at the northwestern end of the ridge, where a highly variable narrow jet along the Iceland shelf break transports dense water to the southwest. Chapter 3 outlines a method to infer dissipation of turbulent kinetic energy using Seaglider observations of finescale vertical velocity and density. The resulting Seaglider-inferred dissipation estimates compare well with observations made by a standard microstructure shear probe. Application of the method to the full set of Seaglider dives from the field campaign reveals regions of elevated dissipation and mixing which are crucial to the development of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) and the lower branch of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). A seasonal flux of fresh water across the IFR is explored in Chapter 4. Low salinity thermohaline intrusions are subducted in winter time at the Iceland Faroe Front, injecting cold, fresh water into the large volume of Atlantic Subpolar Mode Water south of the ridge. The associated heat and salt flux are comparable to previous estimates of eddy induced and intrusion driven fluxes at the front. The heat and salt flux is inconsequential relative to the total heat and salt budgets of the Nordic Seas, but is important locally.

Download or read book Submarine Mass Movements and Their Consequences written by Yasuhiro Yamada and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-13 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submarine mass movements represent major offshore geohazards due to their destructive and tsunami-generation potential. This potential poses a threat to human life as well as to coastal, nearshore and offshore engineering structures. Recent examples of catastrophic submarine landslide events that affected human populations (including tsunamis) are numerous; e.g., Nice airport in 1979, Papua-New Guinea in 1998, Stromboli in 2002, Finneidfjord in 1996, and the 2006 and 2009 failures in the submarine cable network around Taiwan. The Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011 also generated submarine landslides that may have amplified effects of the devastating tsunami. Given that 30% of the World’s population live within 60 km of the coast, the hazard posed by submarine landslides is expected to grow as global sea level rises. This elevated awareness of the need for better understanding of submarine landslides is coupled with great advances in submarine mapping, sampling and monitoring technologies. Laboratory analogue and numerical modeling capabilities have also developed significantly of late. Multibeam sonar, 3D seismic reflection, and remote and autonomous underwater vehicle technologies provide hitherto unparalleled imagery of the geology beneath the oceans, permitting investigation of submarine landslide deposits in great detail. Increased and new access to drilling, coring, in situ measurements and monitoring devices allows for ground-thruth of geophysical data and provides access to samples for geotechnical laboratory experiments and information on in situ strength and effective stress conditions of underwater slopes susceptible to fail. Great advances in numerical simulation techniques of submarine landslide kinematics and tsunami propagation, particularly since the 2004 Sumatra tsunami, have also lead to increased understanding and predictability of submarine landslide consequences. This volume consists of the latest scientific research by international experts in geological, geophysical, engineering and environmental aspects of submarine mass failure, focused on understanding the full spectrum of challenges presented by submarine mass movements and their consequences.
