Dynamics of marine zooplankton : social behavior, ecological interactions, and physically-induced variability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Marine ecosystems reflect the physical structure of their environment and the biological processes they carry out. This leads to spatial heterogeneity and temporal variability, some of which is imposed externally and some ...
On the warm bias along the South-West African Coast in coupled models : an oceanic perspective
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Coupled ocean/atmosphere simulations exhibit systematic warm biases over the South West African (SWA) coastal region. Recent investigations indicate that coastal ocean dynamics may play an important role in determining the ...
Two responses of a uniformly stratified flow over a sloping bottom to a spatially varying downwelling favorable wind
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
The work was motivated by studies of Austin and Lentz (2002) and Pedlosky (2007). The above mentioned works considered two different responses of the stratified flow to a downwelling favorable wind forcing. The first study ...
