bathythermograph
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A device developed by Athelstan Spilhaus in 1938 to measure temperature/depth profiles in the ocean, the bathythermograph was basically a reworking of a mostly unworkable device ...
bathyal zone
Earth science; Physical oceanography
The marine ecologic zone that lies deeper than the continental shelf but shallower than the deep ocean floor, i.e. those depths corresponding to the locations of the continental ...
Baltica
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A paleogeographic area during the late Precambrian and early Paleozoic that comprised north-western Europe, including most of what are now the U. K. , Scandinavia, European ...
Joint US/USSR Bering and Chukchi Seas research program (BERPAC)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A program to examine the status of marine ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean, Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, and to assess their role in determining global climate. The objectives of ...
Biogas Transfer in Estuaries (BIOGEST)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A research project funded by the European Union whose aim is to understand the distribution of biogases in the surface water of European estuaries and to quantify related ...
bias correction
Earth science; Physical oceanography
A method of flux correction that guarantees no long-term climate drift and reduces the other problems of flux correction. Fluxes are modified at the ocean-atmosphere interface ...
