Phenomena, Comment And Notes - Oceanographers Have Discovered A Surprising Possi
Experiments at sea show how we could remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and slow global warming. From Smithsonian Magazine, Vol 27 number 9.

Extractions: document.write(''); Phenomena, Comment and Notes Experiments at sea show we can cause phytoplankton to bloom in areas where it otherwise would not. This could remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and slow global warming A light industrial area on the outskirts of Salinas, California, is probably the last place that you would think to look for an oceanographic institute. Yet, that is exactly where I found the Moss Landing Marine Laboratories, the birthplace of one of the decade's most startling scientific experiments. It was 1987 when oceanographer John Martin at Moss Landing first conceived what has come to be called the "iron hypothesis." Martin, who died in 1993, was a rather extraordinary individual. Working from a wheelchair since a bout with polio, he nonetheless managed on occasion to ship out with his research teams aboard the cramped, overcrowded vessels that are the oceanographer's primary labs. He noted that there are huge areas of ocean (mainly in the waters surrounding Antarctica and in the equatorial Pacific) that have large amounts of nutrients in the form of nitrogen compounds, but very few plankton. These regions also seem to have very low concentrations of iron-on the order of two parts per trillion. Just as lack of a single vitamin or trace mineral can stunt the growth of humans, Martin argued, the dearth of plankton in these otherwise nutrient-rich waters was because of the scarcity of iron. But draw enough carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, scientists predict, and that temperature will drop. "Give me a half a tanker of iron," Martin once said, "and I'll give you the next ice age." It wasn't all bluster. Scientists now estimate that iron fertilization could, in principle, remove as much as 20 percent of the human-generated carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a cost less than alternatives such as large-scale tree planting.

Extractions: Hi Nelson: Yes, I remember reading an article a short time ago in an oceanography newsletter about how the light receptors in shrimp eyes could be damaged by high intensity lights on submersibles ( click here for a short article on the phenomenon). The problem with using image intensifiers is that water is extremely good at absorbing light. At the depths that a lot of these submersibles work at (hydrothermal vents are 4 to 5 kilometres down), there is effectively no light to intensify. This is, however, a newly discovered problem (in the last year or so) and I expect that those researchers who use submersibles are working on solutions. Hope that helps!

The relaxing atmosphere of a walk along the shore, especially the sounds of waves breaking on the beach, continually lures people to coastlines. For Grant Deane and Dale Stokes, oceanographers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, the sounds of hundreds of millions of air bubbles bursting at the shoreline represent a key to understanding ocean phenomena. The researchers, funded by NSF, used acoustical and optical observations to determine that bubbles created in breaking ocean waves play an important role in a variety of ocean and atmospheric processes, including air-sea gas transfer, heat and moisture exchange, aerosol production and climate change. "Bubbles turn out to be the centerpiece for a range of ocean-based and culturally important phenomena," said Deane. "They play a part in global climate change because the global rates of carbon dioxide exchange are in part dictated by bubble-mediated gas transport."

The joint NASA-German Aerospace Center Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace) mission has released its first science product, the most accurate map yet of Earth's gravity field. Grace is the newest tool for scientists working to unlock secrets of ocean circulation and its effects on climate. Created from 111 days of selected Grace data, to help calibrate and validate the mission's instruments, this preliminary model improves knowledge of the gravity field so much it is being released to oceanographers now, months in advance of the scheduled start of routine Grace science operations. The data are expected to significantly improve our ability to understand ocean circulation, which strongly influences weather and climate. Dr. Byron Tapley, Grace principal investigator at UT's Center for Space Research, called the new model a feast for oceanographers. "This initial model represents a major advancement in our knowledge of Earth's gravity field. "Pre-Grace models contained such large errors many important features were obscured. Grace brings the true state of the oceans into much sharper focus, so we can better see ocean phenomena that have a strong impact on atmospheric weather patterns, fisheries and global climate change."

GradZone showNetworkBanner(1); var story_id = 658186; Home News By Inga Buchbinder Published: Tuesday, April 13, 2004 04/13/04 - Grants totaling more than $1.1 million were recently awarded to University of Rhode Island researchers at the Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO). Dr. Vitalii Sheremet and Dr. Peter Cornillon, both physical oceanographers at the Bay Campus in Narragansett will receive nearly $590,000 to study ocean currents off the coast of Nova Scotia. Dr. Dave Hebert of the GSO, who is working with Dr. Miles Sundermeyer of UMass-Dartmouth, will receive almost $570,000 over four years to study how the rotation of the Earth affects ocean currents. Sheremet and Cornillon's study of the water crossover between Nova Scotia and the Atlantic area known as Georges Bank will help oceanographers to understand why water occasionally shifts course instead of flowing into the Gulf of Maine. Cornillon said if this occurrence happens at the wrong time of the year, it can have negative effects on the rich wildlife in Georges Bank. The goal of the experiment is to understand the physics of the change, which has never been able to be explained. The team of Hebert and Sundermeyer are working to understand the velocity of the ocean and how the Earth's movement affects it. Cornillon said their main tool is called a rotating table that rotates at a constant rate at one rotation every six seconds. The rotation of the table simulates the rotation of the Earth, which affect tanks of water on top of the table used to simulate oceans.

Oceanographers Catch First Wave Of Gravity Mission's Success
Texas Jul 24, 2003 - The joint NASA-German Aerospace Center Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (Grace) mission has released its first science product
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/gravity-03g.html

Extractions: Gravity is the force that is responsible for the weight of an object and is determined by how the material that makes up the earth is distributed throughout the earth. Because gravity changes over the surface of the earth, the weight of an object changes along with it. One can define standard gravity as the value of gravity for an perfectly smooth 'idealized' earth, and the gravity 'anomaly' is a measure of how actual gravity deviates from this standard. Gravity reflects the earth's surface topography to a high degree and is associated with features that most people are familiar with such as large mountains and deep ocean trenches.

Extractions: Marta Torres, 541-737-2902 CORVALLIS - Oceanographers from Oregon State University are partnering with several other organizations on a year-long project to boost adult education in Oregon and introduce marine sciences into the curriculum offered in adult basic education programs held at community colleges and elsewhere. The OSU College of Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences will launch the project this Sept. 8-11 with the first of three professional development workshops that will be held on campus and at OSU's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. The initiative is called "The Ocean Science and Math Collaborative Project." "This is a collaborative project designed to integrate ocean sciences into the science, math and critical thinking curriculum of Oregon adult education," said OSU professor Marta Torres, a co-director of the project. "We hope to expand it on a regional basis next year taking advantage of Oregon's involvement in an adult education consortium that includes several other states." OSU will initially work with 15 adult basic education instructors from Oregon community colleges. They represent diverse instructional programs, including workplace training, workplace education, adult education, GED preparation, English to speakers of other languages, family literacy and tribal education. The instructors will work with the OSU scientists and partners to develop new tools for incorporating ocean sciences into their curriculum - and making it relevant to adult learners.

Extractions: UNC-CH News Services CHAPEL HILL Oceanographers and environmental scientists from around the world will meet at the North Carolina Supercomputing Center in Research Triangle Park next month to start developing sophisticated computer simulations of the ocean's climate and marine animal populations. The Jan. 15 - 17 workshop underscores the growing need for international cooperation in developing effective, economical controls to protect the ocean's fisheries, said Dr. Francisco Werner, professor of marine sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The workshop is hosted by MCNC's North Carolina Supercomputing Center and UNC-CH and sponsored by Globec, Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics, a joint program of the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Eventually, Werner said, simulated computerized maps of the ocean could help scientists understand whether decreasing fish populations are being caused by man or are occurring naturally. That knowledge, in turn, could help the world better manage its fisheries.
