Not exact matches

The shrimp represent centimeter - sized swimmers, including krill and shrimplike copepods, found throughout the world's oceans that may together be capable of mixing ocean layers — and delivering nutrient - rich deep waters to phytoplankton, or microscopic marine plants, near the surface, the researchers suggest.

These events resulted in substantial ecological and economic impacts, including sustained loss of kelp forests10, coral bleaching11, reduced surface chlorophyll levels due to increased surface layer stratification6, mass mortality of marine invertebrates due to heat stress8, 12, rapid long - distance species» range shifts and associated reshaping of community structure8, 10,13, fishery closures or quota changes8, 13,14 and even intensified economic tensions between nations15.

These extended periods of cloudiness are usually a consequence of a weak area of low pressure above the marine layer which increases its depth, making it more difficult for surface heating to evaporate the clouds within it.

This water vapor contributes to the development of what is called a marine layer near the surface of the ocean.

The surface cooling results in a large temperature inversion at the top of the marine layer.

A marine layer will disperse and break up in the presence of instability, such as may be caused by the passage of a frontal system or trough, or any upper air turbulence that reaches the surface.

The marine layer clouds of a June Gloom day usually are at their maximum at dawn, when the surface air is at a minimum temperature and the temperature difference in the inversion layer is at its maximum.

Massive blooms of Azolla growing in a fresh / brackish surface layer on the Arctic ocean created laminated sediments alternating with marine siliceous sediments during the early Eocene, and sequestered large amounts of CO2.

Sea ice is critical for polar marine ecosystems in at least two important ways: (1) it provides a habitat for photosynthetic algae and nursery ground for invertebrates and fish during times when the water column does not support phytoplankton growth; and (2) as the ice melts, releasing organisms into the surface water [3], a shallow mixed layer forms which fosters large ice - edge blooms important to the overall productivity of polar seas.

In our analysis we use eight well - known datasets: 1) globally averaged well - mixed marine boundary layer CO2 data, 2) HadCRUT3 surface air temperature data, 3) GISS surface air temperature data, 4) NCDC surface air temperature data, 5) HadSST2 sea surface temperature data, 6) UAH lower troposphere temperature data series, 7) CDIAC data on release of anthropogene CO2, and 8) GWP data on volcanic eruptions.

These are «the microenvironment of marine plankton» and «the surface boundary layer of the ocean (gas exchange atmosphere - ocean)».

It has long been known that the waves affect the marine boundary layer of the atmosphere by modifying the surface roughness.
