Carbon Dynamics in Northern Marginal Seas
The marginal seas have, despite their relatively small area, an important role in the global carboncycle. They are largely influenced by carbon and nutrient fluxes from land and a large part of the biological production occurs in the marginal seas. The carbon dynamic in two shelf areas – The Baltic …

Bloom or Bust: Retrospective Analysis of the Giant Jellyfish, <i>Nemopilema nomurai</i> (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae), Ecology in the East Asian Marginal Seas
… in the semi-enclosed basins of the East Asian Marginal Seas. <em>N. nomurai</em> has bloomed more frequently in the past 20 years than in any period previously recorded. In Japan, recent <em>N. nomurai</em> blooms were responsible for millions of dollars in lost revenue and equipment damage to …

Overflows and upper ocean interactions : a mechanism for the Azores current
… global deep ocean, originating from only a few marginal seas. They enter the open ocean as dense gravity currents down a continental slope and play a crucial role in the deep ocean circulation. To understand the dynamics of these overflows, previous studies simplified their dynamics by treating …

Buoyancy-driven circulation in the Red Sea
… Red Sea. Buoyancy-loss driven circulation in marginal seas is usually dominated by cyclonic boundary currents on f-plane, as suggested by previous observations and numerical modeling. This thesis suggests that by including β-effect and buoyancy loss that increases linearly with latitude, the …

Buoyancy-driven circulation in the Red Sea
… Red Sea. Buoyancy-loss driven circulation in marginal seas is usually dominated by cyclonic boundary currents on f-plane, as suggested by previous observations and numerical modeling. This thesis suggests that by including [beta]-effect and buoyancy loss that increases linearly with latitude, …

Un-mixing the Ocean: Double Diffusion and Turbulence in Polar Oceans
… data collected in the Chukchi Sea in the marginal seas of the Arctic Ocean. This data shows an oceanographic section of a warm core intrahalocline eddy, where thermohaline layering was observed. We develop a criterion to predict the observed turbulent dissipation rates using fine-scale …
