It is ultra- oligotrophic with very low nutrient concentrations in most of the domain, anomalously high N:P ratios leading to P limitation, and evidence of temporal trends in nutrient pools. Paleo-records show large fluctuations in the trophic regime of the basin, probably due to drastic changes in water column dynamics and in nutrient fluxes from the boundaries. At present, there is widespread anthropogenic pressure which acts as an additional and changing forcing of this almost land-locked marginal sea. All of the above makes the basin both a fragile ecosystem under stress and a suitable natural laboratory to understand the role and controls on globally important biogeochemical processes such as nitrogen fixation, impact of atmospheric inputs (both natural and anthropogenically modified), nutrient co- limitation, etc. The symposium will particularly welcome contributions focused on: better constraining on fluxes from the boundaries of the basin and their time variability; assessment of nitrogen fixation at basin and regional scale; understanding the nature and importance of atmospheric inputs to the system; analytical studies connecting structure and functioning of the plankton food web to biogeochemical fluxes and anomalies; analysis of paleo-records, e.g., sapropels, to shed light on future trends in the Mediterranean trophic regimes; model simulations of biogeochemical processes either hindcasting observed processes or forecasting changes on the decadal-centennial time scale due to climate and/or anthropogenic changes; and/or multidisciplinary analyses connecting socio-cultural trends, past and future, of the Mediterranean region and their impact on basin dynamics. IUGG XXIV General Assembly July 2-13, 2007 Perugia, Italy (P) - IAPSO - International Association for the Physical Sciences of the Oceans PS001 Oral Presentation 5770 The nutrient budget for the Eastern Mediterranean revisited; Implications for global controls on the Redfield ratio Prof. Michael Krom School of Earth and Environment University of Leeds IAPSO Barak Herut The constancy of the Redfield ratio (16:1) in most of the global ocean has been explained as a balance between N:P supply which is generally >>16:1, removal of nitrate by denitrification in organic rich sediment and water, and oceanic N fixation. Such N fixation is generally considered to be either P and/or Fe limited. The Eastern Mediterranean sea (EMS) is important in this regard because it is known to be P starved and Fe replete. It has a nitrate:phosphate ratio

    May 20, 2016 Implement the Endangered Species Act Using the Best Available Science To: Secretary Sally Jewell and Secretary Penny Prtizker We, the under-signed scientists, recommend the U.S. government place species conservation policy on firmer scientific footing by following the procedure described below for using the best available science. A recent survey finds that substantial numbers of scientists at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration believe that political influence at their agency is too high.i Further, recent species listing and delisting decisions appear misaligned with scientific understanding.ii,iii,iv,v,vi For example, in its nationwide delisting decision for gray wolves in 2013, the FWS internal review failed the best science test when reviewed by an independent peer-review panel.vii Just last year, a FWS decision not to list the wolverine ran counter to the opinions of agency and external scientists.viii We ask that the Departments of the Interior and Commerce make determinations under the Endangered Species Actix only after they make public the independent recommendations from the scientific community, based on the best available science. The best available science comes from independent scientists with relevant expertise who are able to evaluate and synthesize the available science, and adhere to standards of peer-review and full conflict-of-interest disclosure. We ask that agency scientific recommendations be developed with external review by independent scientific experts. There are several mechanisms by which this can happen; however, of greatest importance is that an independent, external, and transparent science-based process is applied consistently to both listing and delisting decisions.

  • Walter Heinrich Munk
    WALTER HEINRICH MUNK 19 october 1917 . 8 february 2019 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 163, NO. 3, SEPTEMBER 2019 biographical memoirs alter Heinrich Munk was a brilliant scholar and scientist who was considered one of the greatest oceanographers of W his time. He was born in Vienna, Austria in 1917 as the Austro-Hungarian Empire was declining and just before the death of one of its great artists, Gustav Klimt. Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler, who later changed her name to Hedy Lamarr to accommodate her film career, was one of Walter’s childhood friends.1 Walter’s mother, Rega Brunner,2 the daughter of a wealthy Jewish banker, divorced Walter’s father in 1927 and married Dr. Rudolf Engelsberg in 1928. By age 14, Walter apparently had not distinguished himself in his school studies and announced that he intended to become a ski instructor. Walter later claimed that it was this that caused his mother to send him to work at a family bank in New York. The validity of this claim should be tempered by the political turmoil in Germany and its proximity to Austria. In any case, Walter left Vienna in 1932. In New York, he attended Silver Bay Preparatory School for Boys on Lake George and then became a lowly employee in the Cassel Bank, which was associated with the family’s Brunner Bank in New York. In the meantime, Walter restarted his education at Columbia’s Extension School. He greatly disliked the work at the bank and apparently made a number of mistakes, which didn’t endear him to the owners of the Cassel Bank.

But our paths had crossed much earlier, anonymously to be sure, when Walter survived the first thermonuclear explosion, on a small raft in the vast Pacific Ocean. This was the 10-megaton MIKE test on Enewetak Atoll, in the Marshall Islands. In a few minutes we’ll hear Walter’s account of the experience1. I came to know Walter well when I joined JASON in 1966, and I was able to benefit from his insights and experience. Since about 1957 I had worked almost half time with the President’s Science Advisor Committee (PSAC), created late that year by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Although not yet a PSAC member, I had been asked to chair its Military Aircraft Panel and its AntiSubmarine Warfare Panel. It was in that latter context that I appreciated Walter as a scientist—energetic, imaginative, bold, courageous, and thorough. We’ll see Walter later in this talk, commenting on JASON, but first I list the JASON reports which he authored, usually with others who drew on and extended Walter’s long experience and deep understanding of the oceans and the science and phenomenology involved.

  • Once Again: Once Againmtidal Friction
    Prog. Oceanog. Vol. 40~ pp. 7-35, 1997 © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved Pergamon Printed in Great Britain PII: S0079-6611( 97)00021-9 0079-6611/98 $32.0(I Once again: once againmtidal friction WALTER MUNK Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California-San Diego, La Jolht, CA 92093-0225, USA Abstract - Topex/Poseidon (T/P) altimetry has reopened the problem of how tidal dissipation is to be allocated. There is now general agreement of a M2 dissipation by 2.5 Terawatts ( 1 TW = 10 ~2 W), based on four quite separate astronomic observational programs. Allowing for the bodily tide dissipation of 0.1 TW leaves 2.4 TW for ocean dissipation. The traditional disposal sites since JEFFREYS (1920) have been in the turbulent bottom boundary layer (BBL) of marginal seas, and the modern estimate of about 2.1 TW is in this tradition (but the distribution among the shallow seas has changed radically from time to time). Independent estimates of energy flux into the mar- ginal seas are not in good agreement with the BBL estimates. T/P altimetry has contributed to the tidal problem in two important ways. The assimilation of global altimetry into Laplace tidal solutions has led to accurate representations of the global tides, as evidenced by the very close agreement between the astronomic measurements and the computed 2.4 TW working of the Moon on the global ocean. Second, the detection by RAY and MITCHUM (1996) of small surface manifestation of internal tides radiating away from the Hawaiian chain has led to global estimates of 0.2 to 0.4 TW of conversion of surface tides to internal tides.

  • The Luck of Walter Munk
    015K1999_KP_LE_B_en.doc The Luck of Walter Munk Walter H. Munk We have been asked to talk about ourselves. For a title, I have chosen the title of a talk given by Roger Revelle in 1982＊. I was born in Austria soon after the end of World War I. My grandfather Lucian Brunner [photo 1] was a Viennese banker with political ambitions. He ran for mayor on a reform platform and was thoroughly defeated. He became a socialist and changed the name of his bank from “Lucian Brunner” to “Österreichische Volksbank” (Austrian People’s Bank), but kept all the shares. Grandfather was intrigued by high technology. He was on the board of the “Südbahn,” the railroad that developed the audacious route from Vienna to Trieste, and he built funiculars in the Dolomites. This area is now in Italy, but was then part of Austria. At the time it would have made some sense for an Austrian to become an oceanographer. Austria had inherited the northern Adriatic, down to Venice, from Napoleon, had a Navy and was doing respectable ocean research. But by the time I grew up the country was landlocked, and becoming an oceanographer made no sense at all. Lucian’s daughter, my mother [photo 2], read botany at Newnham, one of the two women’s colleges at Cambridge University. It was then unheard of for a girl from the continent to go to university in England. She married my father at the end of the war. They were divorced when I was very young, and father went to live and ski in Kitzbuehel.

  • Young Tracks of Hotspots and Current Plate Velocities
    Geophys. J. Int. (2002) 150, 321–361 Young tracks of hotspots and current plate velocities Alice E. Gripp1,∗ and Richard G. Gordon2 1Department of Geological Sciences, University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97401, USA 2Department of Earth Science MS-126, Rice University, Houston, TX 77005, USA. E-mail: [email protected] Accepted 2001 October 5. Received 2001 October 5; in original form 2000 December 20 SUMMARY Plate motions relative to the hotspots over the past 4 to 7 Myr are investigated with a goal of determining the shortest time interval over which reliable volcanic propagation rates and segment trends can be estimated. The rate and trend uncertainties are objectively determined from the dispersion of volcano age and of volcano location and are used to test the mutual consistency of the trends and rates. Ten hotspot data sets are constructed from overlapping time intervals with various durations and starting times. Our preferred hotspot data set, HS3, consists of two volcanic propagation rates and eleven segment trends from four plates. It averages plate motion over the past ≈5.8 Myr, which is almost twice the length of time (3.2 Myr) over which the NUVEL-1A global set of relative plate angular velocities is estimated. HS3-NUVEL1A, our preferred set of angular velocities of 15 plates relative to the hotspots, was constructed from the HS3 data set while constraining the relative plate angular velocities to consistency with NUVEL-1A. No hotspots are in significant relative motion, but the 95 per cent confidence limit on motion is typically ±20 to ±40 km Myr−1 and ranges up to ±145 km Myr−1.
