Fluid flow and sound generation at hydrothermal vent fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
Dynamics of the equatorial undercurrent and its determination
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
This study focuses on the zonal weakening, eastern termination and seasonal variations of the Atlantic equatorial undercurrent (EUC). The main and most original contribution of the dissertation is a detailed analysis of ...
Thermal and mechanical development of the East African Rift System
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
The deep basins, uplifted flanks, and volcanoes of the Western and Kenya rift systems have developed along the western and eastern margins of the 1300 km-wide East African plateau. Structural patterns deduced from field, ...
Cenozoic deep-water agglutinated foraminifera in the North Atlantic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
The influence of geothermal sources on deep ocean temperature, salinity, and flow fields
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
This thesis is a study of the effect of geothermal sources on the deep circulation, temperature and salinity fields. In Chapter 1 background material is given on the strength and distribution of geothermal heating. In ...
Mass, heat and nutrient fluxes in the Atlantic Ocean determined by inverse methods
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
Inverse methods are applied to historical hydrographic data to address two aspects of the general circulation of the Atlantic Ocean. The method allows conservation statements for mass and other properties, along with a ...
Observations and modelling of deep equatorial currents in the central Pacific
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
Analysis of vertical profiles of absolute horizontal velocity collected in January 1981, February 1982 and April 1982 in the central equatorial Pacific as part of the Pacific Equatorial Ocean Dynamics (PEQUOD) program, ...
An organic geochemical approach to problems of glacial-interglacial climatic variability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
