Baseline Research on Oceanography (BROKE)
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Krill and Environment, a study conducted off east Antarctica in the Austral summer of 1995–96. The primary focus was to describe the distribution and abundance of Antarctic krill ...
centers of action
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Large semipermanent belts of high or low sea level pressure distributed around the Earth that largely control the general circulation of the atmosphere and the concomitant ...
Natal Pulse
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Large, solitary meanders in the path of the Agulhas Current between Cape St. Lucia and the Agulhas Bank south of Africa. The pulses seem to originate in the region of the Natal ...
cotidal line
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Lines joining the points where high water occurs at the same time. The lines show the lapse of time between the moon’s transit over a reference meridian (usually the Greenwich ...
oceanic
Earth science; Physical oceanography
Living upon the high seas as opposed to living in coastal waters, i.e. neritic.
Gibb’s phenomenon
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An artifact of attempting to approximate a function or waveformwith a discontinuity using a Fourier series or some other global, continuous basis function. The fit is poor in a ...
computational mode
Earth science; Physical oceanography
An artifact of numerical solution procedures that use a centered scheme for temporal advancement, i.e. one that requires information at three time levels. Starting such a scheme ...
