So understanding ocean currents and the timescale on which they transport ocean pollutants is critical during any maritime accidents, especially ones involving oil leaks.»

The Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) was an international, multiplatform field campaign to measure long - range transport of air pollution from South and Southeast Asia toward the Indian Ocean during the dry monsoon season in January to March 1999.

Mauritsen said the warming of the upper ocean and the atmosphere during the summer through reduced cooling around Europe results in the stronger transport of heat into the Arctic, which is actually «pristine» in general.

An atmospheric general circulation model coupled to a simple mixed layer ocean was forced with altered implied ocean heat transports during a period of increasing trace gases.

Instead, ocean life absorbs CO2 during photosynthesis and, while most of the gas escapes within about a year, some of it is transported down into the deep ocean via dead plants, body parts, faeces, and other sinking materials.

During offshore fracking, a significant amount of fracking fluid returns to the surface and is either discharged into the ocean or transported for onshore ground injection.

Phytoplankton in the ocean's upper layer (that is, the populations observed from space) rely on vertical nutrient transport to sustain productivity, so intensified stratification during a rising MEI period (Fig. 2b) is accompanied closely by decreasing NPP (Fig. 2b)(r2 5 0.73, P, 0.005)
