Cumulative North Atlantic freshwater forcing in sverdrup years (Sv years) is 0.2 Sv years in 2014, 2.4 Sv years in 2050, and 3.4 Sv years (its maximum) prior to 2060 (Fig.

In Sverdrup Pass, central Ellesmere Island, rapid glacier retreat is exposing intact plant communities whose radiocarbon dates demonstrate entombment during the Little Ice Age (1550 — 1850 AD)...

Although often overlooked, the data (collected by Kurt Buch) were widely available in Sverdrup et al. (1942), pp. 189 - 211; Harvey (1955), ch.

On the potential for future production, the Johan Sverdrup oil field in the Norwegian waters could be producing as much as 660,000 b / d once all operational phases are in service by 2022.

During World War II, Munk and Harald Sverdrup, then director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, developed a method to predict surf conditions on beaches — an important tool for military amphibious landings.

The CTD sections show that the deeper layers are also warmer and slightly saltier and the observed sea level can be explained by steric expansion over the upper 2000 m. ENSO variability impacts on the northern part of the section, and a simple Sverdrup transport model shows how large - scale changes in the wind forcing, related to the Southern Annular Mode, may contribute to the deeper warming to the south.

Monday 15 December 2003 at 10.15, guest lecture in Auditorium 1, Georg Sverdrups hus (Universitetsbiblioteket):

(The launch of our World Dignity University initiative takes place on 24th June 2011 at the University of Oslo in Norway, 10.00 - 12.00, Klubben, 2nd floor, University Library Georg Sverdrups House, Blindern.

So in the middle of these 22 Sverdrups lies the beautiful little island of Gili Trawangan.

Well Norwegian scientist Harald Sverdrup realized that the amount of water flowing through was to big to be measured in gallons or liters, so he came up with the term «the Sverdrup» which is «one million cubic meters of water per second», and there is 20 - 22 Sverdrups flowing through.

[Response: The classical (i.e. Stommel) theory of the subtropical gyre requires that the interior equatorward (Sverdrup) transport that takes place everywhere but a narrow strip along the western edge of the basin, precisely balance the poleward transport that takes place in a narrow boundary current along the western edge of the basin.

I am sure about the output in cubic kilometers from the glaciers and I am sure I am wrong as you point out with the Sverdrup calculation, haste made waste in this case.

# 49 The contribution of these large glaciers seems just that in terms of ice and water volume, but put in the context of sverdrups, is another question.

chart in fig. 17 The Sverdrup radiation chart in fig. 17 shows that solar radiation at visible wavelengths can penetrate the ocean readily, heating it directly at depths down to 100 metres.

Roemmich et al (2007) suggest that mid-latitude gyres in all of the oceans are influenced by decadal variability in the Southern and Northern Annular Modes (SAM and NAM respectively) as wind driven currents in baroclinic oceans (Sverdrup, 1947).

Oceanographers measure the flow of water in currents in units of Sverdrups, with 1 Sverdrup = 106m3 / s (one thousandth of a cubic kilometer / second).

The primary physical factor in determining the density of sea water is the temperature (Sverdrup, Johnson, and Fleming, 1943).

Sverdrup et al. (1942), pp. 628 - 29, 635 - 37, 647, 685; Sverdrup (1957) likewise sees much more heat transport in the Gulf Stream than across the equator, and describes the North Atlantic deep circulation as driven by winds and heat but not salinity.

-- then the answer is probably very little — the traditional thinking (Sverdrup's critical depth concept) has the bloom requiring stratification (otherwise algae moved up and down by mixing spend too little time in the illuminated part of the water column).

Scaled to the entire circumpolar current, the mixing we observe is compatible with there being a southern component to the global overturning in which about 20 sverdrups (1 Sv = 106 m3 s − 1) upwell in the Southern Ocean, with cross-density mixing contributing a significant fraction (20 to 30 per cent) of this total, and the remainder upwelling along constant - density surfaces.
