The new find helps shed light on the evolution of beaked whales as well as their competition: Soon after M. gregarius swam the region's

Smaller, dispersed droplets are less threatening for two reasons: they present more
surface area to the water, so ocean bacteria can degrade the oil faster; plus, the small droplets are much slower to rise to the
surface, keeping the oil at
sea instead of in
coastal wetlands and giving the bacteria more time to do their magic.

sea ice conditions in fall, based on comparison of 2011 and 2007 stratospheric and
surface winds and
sea level pressure (SLP) in April and May suggests regional differences in
sea ice extent in fall, in a manner consistent with recent studies highlighting the importance of
coastal geometry in seasonal interpretations of
sea ice cover (Eisenman, 2010).
Ice retreat depends strongly on the amount of solar heating of the
surface ice and ocean; clear sky conditions early in the melt season can go a long ways towards helping ice retreat later in the season, so this is one of the variables that will be monitored closely (e.g., in the Barrow
coastal sea ice break - up forecast, see below).
His theory is, that the
sea surface has been warming since the little ice age, and ocean air also warmed
coastal and other ocean air affected regions, but not OAS regions.
Sea level rise, storms and storm surges, and changes in
surface and groundwater use patterns are expected to compromise the sustainability of
coastal freshwater aquifers and wetlands.
Tide gauges measure the height of the
sea surface relative to
coastal benchmarks.
In addition, land stations are allowed to provide temperature estimates for ocean cells where no
sea surface temperature is available - in practice, this means that
coastal stations around the Arctic provide temperature readings for the pole.
Research programs at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) encompass the entire ocean, from the
surface waters to the deep seafloor, and from the
coastal zone to the open
sea.
So, she analyzed her Galápagos coral temperature chronologies alongside published coral temperature chronologies from islands farther north and west and instrumental
sea surface temperature records from the southern Galápagos town of Puerto Ayora and the Peruvian
coastal town of Puerto Chicama.
Maslowski in 2007 showed for the Arctic that you show more significant changes to the ocean and
sea ice, which besides explaining why warming of
surface air is lagging is the worst possible outcome as warm
surface air by itself is relatively benign, but a restructured ocean - ice boundary system will result in major changes to
coastal and continental weather in the long run.
However, the removal of the altimeter from NPOESS is not considered a critical issue for climate, as ALT would not have provided a climate - quality
sea surface height record due to the NPOESS Sun - synchronous orbit, nor would it have provided information about inland waters and near -
coastal areas.
1) Abstract «Such changes could have significant ramifications for global
sea level, the ocean thermohaline circulation, native
coastal communities, and commercial activities, as well as effects on the global
surface energy and moisture budgets, atmospheric and oceanic circulations, and geosphere - biosphere feedbacks.
