Sentences with phrase «across ocean basins»

Presently, much of the Atlantic Ocean is well oxygenated (Figure 1) relative to the North Indian and Pacific Oceans, where bottom water O2 concentrations are lower because of the biological removal of O2 as thermohaline circulation moves deep waters across ocean basins from the North and South Atlantic towards the North Pacific, in isolation from the surface ocean.

They found that across ocean basins, the ratio of human - generated mercury to human - generated CO2 tends to stay consistent among waters in the same layer of depth, because coal burning, for example, emits both mercury and CO2.

Multiple Kelvin waves have pulsed across the ocean basin in recent months and ocean temperatures have repeatedly been warm enough in that region to qualify as an El Niño.

The zonal integral (east to west) of wind stress curl across an ocean basin is proportional to the western boundary current transport (i.e., the transport responsible for the dominant part of the poleward heat flux by the ocean).

Not exact matches

And across all scales, from very small controlled studies of marine plots to those of entire ocean basins, maintaining biodiversity — the number of extant species across all forms of marine life — appeared key to preserving fisheries, water filtering and other so - called ecosystem services, though the correlation is not entirely clear.
