Eddy dynamics of [Beta] plumes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The evolution of upper ocean thermal structure at 10⁰N, 125⁰W during 1997-1998
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
In this thesis I have endeavored to determine the factors and physical processes that controlled SST and thermocline depth at 10⁰N, 125⁰W during the Pan Amer- ican Climate Study (PACS) field program. Analysis based on the ...
Decoupling of iron and phosphate in the global ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for marine phytoplankton often limiting phytoplankton growth due to its low concentration in the ocean and thus playing a role in modulating the ocean's biological pump. In order to ...
Subduction dynamics at the middle America trench : new constraints from swath bathymetry, multichannel seismic data, and ¹⁰Be
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The cosmogenic radionuclide ¹⁰Be is a unique tracer of shallow sediment subduction in volcanic arcs. The range in ¹⁰Be enrichment in the Central American Volcanic Arc between Guatemala and Costa Rica is not controlled by ...
Spatial and temporal variability of tide-induced salt flux in a partially mixed estuary
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
Mechanisms for the tidal component of salt flux in the Hudson River estuary are investigated using a 3D numerical model. Variations with river discharge, fortnightly tidal forcing, and along channel variability are explored. ...
