Coastal Oceanography (Ocean Sciences Research)

A coastal sea area usually indicates a sea area between a continental shelf break with a water depth of about 200 m and the land shore. About 70% of global fish resources spend part of their life cycle in the coastal seas, which accounts for 90% of marine biomass yield. Freshwater and nutrients from the land have a great influence on the coastal seas, especially since more than half the human population lives within 100 km of a coast. Chemical reactions occur there rapidly between substan

A few of my friends and I were in our weekly OCEAN 201 lab at the University of Washington, when I decided this part of our experiment was worth taking video of. This proved to be a good decision. A cylindrical glass container filled with corn syrup is rotating on a pottery wheel, with a flask suspended above so it just penetrates the surface of the syrup. The rotation of the container and the friction caused by the flask create very intriguing convection currents in the syrup and a spiraling vortex underneath the flask. Red and blue dye are added to the swirling syrup later…

Physicists at the University of Rochester have combed through data from satellites and ocean buoys and found evidence that in the last 50 years, the net flow of heat into and out of the oceans has changed direction three times.

These shifts in the balance of heat absorbed from the sun and radiated from the oceans correlate well with past anomalies that have been associated with abrupt shifts in the earth’s climate, say the researchers. These anomalies include changes in normal storm intensities, unusual land temperatures, and a large drop in salmon populations along the western United States.

The physicists also say these changes in ocean heat-flow direction should be taken into account when predicting global climate because the oceans represent 90 percent of the total heat in the earth’s climate system.
