Earth science; Physical oceanography
When the solution of a differential equation set (e.g. the equations of motion for a baroclinic atmosphere or ocean) is approximated using the normal mode technique, each of the ...
Sound Channel Axis Velocity Experiment (SCAVE)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Where SOFAR explosive charges were fired at the depth of the sound axis off Antigua and the resulting signals received and processed at Eleuthera and Bermuda. In this experiment, ...
Ocean Drilling Program (ODP)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Which conducts basic research into the history of the ocean basins and the overall nature of the crust beneath the ocean floor using the scientific drill ship, JOIDES resolution. ...
dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Which includes the sum of dissolved CO2 gas and the ions HCO3 and CO3. This is dominated by the bicarbonate (HCO3) ion is sea water and occasionally referred to as total CO2.
