Book Description
This volume comprises the final report of the research project entitled the Dynamics of the Deep Ocean Circulation. The layered structure of the subsurface circulation, which had been predicted in the hypothetical model proposed prior to the research, is verified through Eulerian and Lagrangian measurements of current. By the use of the numerical model, the deep circulation of the Philippine Sea, which has been long supposed to be isolated from the North Pacific, is revealed to be derived in close association with that of the latter ocean. Behavior of the deep current around the equator is also clarified by numerical modeling. By the extensive use of sediment trapping technology, it becomes clear that sinking sediments play an important role in the distribution of chemical substances in the deep ocean. Graduate students in the field of oceanography will find this a good textbook.
The Great Ocean Conveyor

Book Description
Exploring the link between the ocean's currents and rapid climate change Wally Broecker is one of the world's leading authorities on abrupt global climate change. More than two decades ago, he discovered the link between ocean circulation and climate change, in particular how shutdowns of the Great Ocean Conveyor—the vast network of currents that circulate water, heat, and nutrients around the globe—triggered past ice ages. Today, he is among the researchers exploring how our planet's climate system can abruptly "flip-flop" from one state to another, and who are weighing the implications for the future. In The Great Ocean Conveyor, Broecker introduces readers to the science of abrupt climate change while providing a vivid, firsthand account of the field's history and development. Could global warming cause the conveyor to shut down again, prompting another flip-flop in climate? What were the repercussions of past climate shifts? How do we know such shifts occurred? Broecker shows how Earth scientists study ancient ice cores and marine sediments to probe Earth's distant past, and how they blend scientific detective work with the latest technological advances to try to predict the future. He traces how the science has evolved over the years, from the blind alleys and wrong turns to the controversies and breathtaking discoveries. Broecker describes the men and women behind the science, and reveals how his own thinking about abrupt climate change has itself flip-flopped as new evidence has emerged. Rich with personal stories and insights, The Great Ocean Conveyor opens a tantalizing window onto how Earth science is practiced.

North Pacific Ocean, Central Pacific Transition Zone

Pages : 294
Book Description
During March and April 1968, scientists aboard the R/V Thomas G. Thompson studied the thermohaline and density structures in the subarctic-subtropical transition zone of the central North Pacific. Additional hydrographic sections were made north of Kahuka Point, Oahu. Of the 130 STD stations planned for this area, 127 were completed and 3 were lost because of weather. The primary objectives of the field study were: 1) to investigate the mesoscale thermohaline and density structures in long meridional high resolution sections across the subarctic and subtropical boundaries. 2) to determine the mesoscale signatures of the subarctic and subtropical fronts at the boundaries of the transition zone. 3) to study the mesoscale dynamic height and baroclinic flow structures across the transition zone. 4) to access the submesoscale thermohaline and baroclinic flow variability in the vicinity of the Hawaiian Ridge. Keywords: Sea Water; Oceanographic fronts; Oceanographic data; Salinity Temperature depth; Spring season.
