Subtidal cross-shelf circulation on the Northern California shelf
… the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment (CODE), Shelf Mixed Layer Experiment (SMILE), Sediment Transport Events over the Shelf and Slope (STRESS) study, and Northern California Coastal Circulation Study (NCCCS) are used to study subtidal cross-shelf circulation over the northern California shelf. …

Enlightened shelf awareness
… readers, that automates the otherwise manual shelf-reading process and helps librarians keep their database in sync with the library's physical inventory. Experiments on single shelves and entire bookcases confirm that this robot-assisted approach to inventory management can not only detect …

The kinematics and dynamics of the New England continental shelf and shelf/slope front
… out in March 1974 on the New England continental shelf break to study the current and hydrographic structure and variability on the shelf and in the shelf/slope front. A second experiment was conducted in the shelf break region for one week in January 1975 to study frontal exchange processes. The …

Shelf edge upwelling off Northern Mozambique
… Mozambique region. The results con rm that shelf edge upwelling occurs along the northern coast of Mozambique near Angoche between 15 and 18oS, covering an area of approximately 68 000 km2. The upwelling signature was not strong at the surface. Two upwelling core regions were identi ed: (1) …

The effect of stratification on wind-driven, cross-shelf circulation and transport on the inner continental shelf
… from a three-year field program on the inner shelf south of Martha's Vineyard, MA and a numerical model are used to describe the effect of stratification on inner shelf circulation, transport, and sediment resuspension height. Thermal stratification above the bottom mixed layer is shown to cap …

Cross-shelf circulation and momentum and heat balances over the inner continental shelf near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts
… of water temperature over the inner continental shelf are investigated using observations of water velocity, temperature, density, and bottom pressure; surface gravity waves; wind stress; and heat flux between the ocean and atmosphere during 2001-2007. When waves are small, cross-shelf wind …

The adjustment of barotropic currents at the shelf break to a sharp bend in the shelf topography
During January-March, Scotian Shelf water has been observed to flow episodically from the southwestern Scotian Shelf directly across the Northeast Channel to Georges Bank. The possible factors that allow Scotian Shelf water to break the topographic constraint presented by the Northeast Channel and …

Carbonate ramp to deeper shale-shelf transitions of an Upper Cambrian (Dresbachian) shelf embayment, Nolichucky Formation, southwest Virginia
… package on the Cambrian pericratonic shelf in a broad, deep water embayment, bordered to the northeast and southeast by peritidal Honaker and Elbrook carbonates. Lateral facies changes from deep embayment rocks to peritidal carbonates suggest that the shelf embayment was bordered by a …

When an eddy encounters shelf-slope topography
… currents must then interact with continental shelf-slope topography at the western boundary. The presence of other eddies and mean lows complicates this simple picture, yet satellite images show that mesoscale eddies translating near the shelfbreak routinely affect the continental shelves of …

Steady models of Arctic shelf-basin exchange
… and global circulation of waters from the Arctic shelf seas. In this study, steady-state exchanges between the Arctic shelves and the central basins are estimated using an inverse box model. The model accounts for data uncertainty in the estimates, and quantifies the solution uncertainty. Other …

Interpreting optical signals in shelf sea environments
… significant constituent (OSCs) concentrations in shelf seas can be used as sensitive indicators of ecosystem status and function. Measuring OSC concentrations is labour intensive and a method to improve data analysis would greatly enhance our ability to monitor shelf sea environments. One option …

When Shelf-based Scarcity Impacts Consumer Preferences
… to impact consumers' choices. Yet, the impact of shelf-based scarcity in retail environments, created by stocking level depletion, has received almost no attention in the literature. Indeed, little research to date has even examined if consumers will attend to shelf-based scarcity in retail …

Shelfaware: Accelerating Collaborative Awareness with Shelf CRDT
<p>Collaboration has become a key feature of modern software, allowing teams to work together effectively in real-time while in different locations. In order for a user to communicate their intention to several distributed peers, computing devices must exchange high-frequency updates with transient …
