THE PHYSICAL processes occurring in fiords have attracted oceanographers for over a
century. Early observations in Scandinavian t~ ords by EKMAN (1875), GRAU (1900) …

We are concerned here with the behavior of a rotating, stratified fluid near a sloping rigid
boundary, with boundary conditions of zero normal buoyancy flux and no slip. Although this …

The subject of ocean turbulence is in a state of discovery and development with many
intellectual challenges. This book describes the principal dynamic processes that control the …

Pyrolyzates similar to natural crude oils were generated from organic-rich shales by hydrous
pyrolysis. With this type of pyrolysis it is possible to make more sophisticated correlations …

This paper presents some research developments in primitive equation ocean models which
could impact the ocean component of realistic global coupled climate models aimed at large …

A list of 138 positions with records of Lophelia pertusa is compiled from all published and
unpublished investigations in the area including material from the BIOFAR research …

Fine grain-size parameters have been used for inference of palaeoflow speeds of near-
bottom currents in the deep-sea. The basic idea stems from observations of varying …

Abstract The Mellor and Yamada (1974) Level II turbulence closure scheme is used to study
the oceanic bottom boundary layer (BBL). The model is tested against observations of the …

The bottom 1 km of the ocean is appreciably more turbid than the two or more km above it.
This bottom nepheloid layer has been mapped principally by nephelometers that are most …
