Air-sea surface science

Aided by new observations from the Coupled Boundary Layer Air-Sea Transfer (CBLAST) -- Hurricane field program, scientists at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science have helped to develop and test a new, high-resolution computer model to better understand how air-sea interactions directly affect hurricane intensity, a factor not yet possible in the current operational forecast models.

1. Coral reefs may be protected by natural ocean thermostat
   02-07-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Natural processes may prevent oceans from warming beyond a certain point, helping protect some biologically diverse coral reefs from the impacts of climate change. A new study, by scientists at NCAR and the Australian Institute of Marine Science, finds evidence that an ocean "thermostat" is helping regulate sea-surface temperatures.

3. Cable laid for new deep-sea observatory
   04-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   On April 1, 2007 researchers completed an important step in constructing the first deep-sea cabled observatory in the continental United States. In a multi-institution effort managed by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) and funded by the National Science Foundation, 52 kilometers (32 miles) of cable were laid along the seafloor of Monterey Bay.

4. Hinode mission delves into solar mysteries
   12-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
   New, peer-reviewed results from the Hinode space mission ("Sunrise" in English) should help explain some long-standing mysteries of the Sun, such as the huge temperature difference between its relatively cool surface and its white-hot atmosphere, and the origins of the solar wind that blasts through the solar system and buffets planetary atmospheres. These findings appear in a special collection of 10 articles, by scientists in Japan, Europe and the United States, in the Dec. 7 issue of the journal Science.

6. Antarctic icebergs -- Hotspots of ocean life
   06-21-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Global climate change is causing Antarctic ice shelves to shrink and split apart, yielding thousands of free-drifting icebergs in the nearby Weddell Sea. According to a new study in this week's journal Science these floating islands of ice -- some as large as a dozen miles across -- are having a major impact on the ecology of the ocean around them, serving as "hotspots" for ocean life, with thriving communities of seabirds above and a web of phytoplankton, krill and fish below.

   Manganese, in trace amounts, is essential to human health. Now a research team from the University of Delaware, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the University of Hawaii and Oregon Health and Science University has discovered that a dissolved form of the mineral also is important in waterways such as the Black Sea and Chesapeake Bay, where it can keep toxic hydrogen sulfide zones in check.

   10-25-2006 · EurekAlert!
   New York City has been an area of concern during hurricane season for many years because of the large population and logistics. More than eight million people live in the city, and it has hundreds of miles of coastline that are vulnerable to hurricane threats. Using computer climate models, scientists at NASA have looked at rising sea levels and hurricane storm surge and will report on them at a science meeting this week.
