Robocza Wersja Wykazu Polskich Nazw Geograficznych Świata © Copyright by Główny Geodeta Kraju 2013 Robocza wersja wykazu polskich nazw geograficznych świata W wykazie uwzględnione zostały wyłącznie te obiekty geograficzne, dla których Komisja Standaryzacji Nazw Geograficznych poza Granicami Rzeczypospolitej Polskiej zaleca stosowanie polskich nazw (tj. egzonimów lub pseudoegzonimów). Robocza wersja wykazu zawiera zalecane polskie nazwy wg stanu na 13 lutego 2013 r. – do czasu ostatecznej publikacji lista tych nazw może ulec niewielkim zmianom. Układ wykazu bazuje na układzie zastosowanym w zeszytach „Nazewnictwa geograficznego świata”. Wykaz podzielono na części odpowiadające częściom świata (Europa, Azja, Afryka, Ameryka Północna, Ameryka Południowa, Australia i Oceania, Antarktyka, formy podmorskie). Każda z części rozpoczyna się listą zalecanych nazw oceanów oraz wielkich regionów, które swym zasięgiem przekraczają z reguły powierzchnie kilku krajów. Następnie zamieszczono nazwy według państw i terytoriów. Z kolei nazwy poszczególnych obiektów geograficznych ułożono z podziałem na kategorie obiektów. W ramach poszczególnych kategorii nazwy ułożono alfabetycznie w szyku właściwym (prostym). Hasła odnoszące się do poszczególnych obiektów geograficznych zawierają zalecaną nazwę polską, a następnie nazwę oryginalną, w języku urzędowym (endonim) – lub nazwy oryginalne, jeśli obowiązuje więcej niż jeden język urzędowy albo dany obiekt ma ustalone nazwy w kilku językach. Jeżeli podawane są polskie nazwy wariantowe (np. Mała Syrta; Zatoka Kabiska), to nazwa pierwsza w kolejności jest tą, którą Komisja uważa za właściwszą, uznając jednak pozostałe za dopuszczalne (wyjątek stanowią tu długie (oficjalne) nazwy niektórych jednostek administracyjnych). Czasem podawana jest tylko polska nazwa – oznacza to, że dany obiekt geograficzny nie jest nazywany w kraju, w którym jest położony lub nie odnaleziono poprawnej lokalnej nazwy tego obiektu. W przypadku nazw wariantowych w językach urzędowych na pierwszym miejscu podawano nazwę główną danego obiektu. Dla niektórych obiektów podano także, w nawiasie na końcu hasła, bardziej znane polskie nazwy historyczne. Dla wszystkich obiektów (za wyjątkiem oceanów oraz wielkich regionów) podano współrzędne geograficzne – dla obiektów punktowych i powierzchniowych współrzędne środka, dla liniowych początku i końca; w przypadku obiektów transgranicznych podano zarówno współrzędne fragmentu obiektu leżącego w danym państwie/terytorium, jak i całego obiektu. W wykazie starano się podać oficjalne formy endonimów, pochodzące z narodowych wykazów nazewniczych, map topograficznych i innych oficjalnych źródeł. Kiedy okazywało się to niemożliwe, korzystano z najbardziej wiarygodnych publikacji międzynarodowych. Dlatego niekiedy formy nazw urzędowych mogą budzić wątpliwości, bo choć ich ustalanie odbywało się z dużą starannością, to jednak napotykano czasem na trudne do pokonania przeszkody. Mogły one wynikać z braków w materiałach źródłowych, a nawet, bo i to się zdarzało, z różnych, sprzecznych wersji nazewnictwa podawanych w oficjalnych publikacjach instytucji rządowych lub organów ustawodawczych. Dla nazw w językach posługujących się pismami niełacińskimi podano zapis zlatynizowany zgodnie z zasadami, które Komisja zaleca do stosowania w Polsce dla nazw geograficznych z danego języka. W przypadku większości takich języków podano zapis zarówno w polskiej transkrypcji, jak i w transliteracji. Wyjątkiem jest tu kilka języków azjatyckich. Wykaz będzie zawierał skorowidz polskich nazw. Publikacja wykazu planowana jest na drugą połowę 2013 roku. Komisja Standaryzacji Nazw Geograficznych będzie wdzięczna za wszelkie uwagi dotyczące tej publikacji, przede wszystkim za uwagi krytyczne. © Copyright by Główny Geodeta Kraju 2013 1 FORMY PODMORSKIE OCEAN ARKTYCZNY Prądy morskie Prąd Baffina;

Overview The Arctic Ocean is a large ocean basin connected primarily to the Atlantic Ocean. An unusual feature of this ocean basin is the presence of sea ice. Sea ice covers less than 10% of the world’s oceans and 40% of this sea ice occurs within the Arctic Ocean basin. There are several effects of this sea ice cover on the physical oceanography of the Arctic Ocean and its marginal seas (e.g., Baffin Bay, Hudson Bay, Barents Sea): • The temperature of surface water remains near the freezing point for its salinity.

PENNY HOLLIDAY National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, United Kingdom (Manuscript received 29 January 2019, in final form 12 May 2020) ABSTRACT While reasonable knowledge of multidecadal Arctic freshwater storage variability exists, we have little knowledge of Arctic freshwater exports on similar time scales. A hydrographic time series from the Labrador Shelf, spanning seven decades at annual resolution, is here used to quantify Arctic Ocean freshwater export variability west of Greenland. Output from a high-resolution coupled ice–ocean model is used to establish the representativeness of those hydrographic sections. Clear annual to decadal variability emerges, with high freshwater transports during the 1950s and 1970s–80s, and low transports in the 1960s and from the mid-1990s to 2016, with typical amplitudes of 2 30 mSv (1 Sv 5 106 m3 s 1). The variability in both the transports and cumulative volumes correlates well both with Arctic and North Atlantic freshwater storage changes on thesametimescale.Werefertothe‘‘inshorebranch’’of the Labrador Current as the Labrador Coastal Current, because it is a dynamically and geographically distinct feature. It originates as the Hudson Bay outflow, and preserves variability from river runoff into the Hudson Bay catchment.

AITKEN* and JUDITH FOURNER3 (Received 2 January 1992; accepted in revised form 4 November 1992) ABSTRACT. Thirtyeight marine invertebrates, including molluscs, echinoderms, polychaetesand several minor taxa, havebeen added to the previously described benthic macrofauna inhabiting Cambridge, McBeth and Itirbilung fiords in northeastern Baffin Island, Northwest Territories, Canada. The fiords lie fully within the marine arctic zone and organisms exhibiting panarctic distributions constitute the majority of speciescollected from them. Macrobenthic associations recordedin the fiords are comparable, both with respectto species composition and habitat, to benthic invertebrate associationsoccurring on the Baffin Island continental shelf andin east Greenland fiords, reflecting the broad environmental tolerances of the organisms constituting the benthic associations.Deposit-feediig organisms dominatethe fiord macrobenthos, notably nuculanid bivalves, ophiuroid echinoderms and elasipod holothurians. The foraging and locomotory activities of these organisms may influence benthic communitystructure by reducing the abundance of sessile and/or tubiculous benthos.

  • Ocean Current
    Ocean current Ocean current is the general horizontal movement of a body of ocean water, generated by various factors, such as earth's rotation, wind, temperature, salinity, tides etc. These movements are occurring on permanent, semi- permanent or seasonal basis. Knowledge of ocean currents is essential in reducing costs of shipping, as efficient use of ocean current reduces fuel costs. Ocean currents are also important for marine lives, as well as these are required for maritime study. Ocean currents are measured in Sverdrup with the symbol Sv, where 1 Sv is equivalent to a volume flow rate of 106 cubic meters per second (0.001 km³/s, or about 264 million U.S. gallons per second). On the other hand, current direction is called set and speed is called drift. Causes of ocean current are a complex method and not yet fully understood. Many factors are involved and in most cases more than one factor is contributing to form any particular current. Among the many factors, main generating factors of ocean current are wind force and gradient force. Current caused by wind force: Wind has a tendency to drag the uppermost layer of ocean water in the direction, towards it is blowing. As well as wind piles up the ocean water in the wind blowing direction, which also causes to move the ocean. Lower layers of water also move due to friction with upper layer, though with increasing depth, the speed of the wind-induced current becomes progressively less. As soon as any motion is started, then the Coriolis force (effect of earth’s rotation) also starts working and this Coriolis force causes the water to move to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.

The data reveal interactions between fresh and cold Arctic waters advected southward along Baffin Island and salty and warm Atlantic waters advected northward along western Keywords: Greenland. Geostrophic currents estimated from hydrography are compared to measured ocean currents Circulation above 600 m depth. The Baffin Island Current is well constrained by the geostrophic thermal wind rela- Arctic tion, but the West Greenland Current is not. Furthermore, both currents are better described as current Geostrophy systems that contain multiple velocity cores and eddies. We describe a surface-intensified Baffin Island Baffin Bay Current seaward of the continental slope off Canada and a bottom-intensified West Greenland Current Greenland over the continental slope off Greenland. Acoustic Doppler current profiler observations suggest that 6 3 1 the West Greenland Current System advected about 3.8 ± 0.27 Sv (Sv = 10 m sÀ ) towards the north- west at this time.

  • Warming of the Polar Water Layer in Disko Bay and Potential Impact on Jakobshavn Isbrae
    DECEMBER 2013 M Y E R S A N D R I B E R GAARD 2629 Warming of the Polar Water Layer in Disko Bay and Potential Impact on Jakobshavn Isbrae PAUL G. MYERS Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada MADS H. RIBERGAARD Centre for Ocean and Ice, Danish Meteorological Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark (Manuscript received 15 March 2012, in final form 16 August 2013) ABSTRACT A number of recent studies have shown enhanced retreat of tidewater glaciers over much of southern and western Greenland. One of the fastest retreats has occurred at Jakobshavn Isbrae, with the rapid retreat linked to the arrival of relatively warm and saline Irminger water along the west coast of Greenland. Similar links to changes in ocean water masses on the coastal shelf of Greenland were also seen on the east coast. This study presents hydrographic data from Disko Bay, additionally revealing that there was also a significant warming of the cold polar water entering Disko Bay from the mid-to-late 1990s onward. This layer, which lies at a depth of ;30–200 m, warmed by 18–28C. The heat content of the polar water layer increased by a factor of 3.6 for the post-1997 period compared to the period prior to 1990. The heat content in the west Greenland Irminger water layer between the same periods increased only by a factor of 2, but contained more total heat. The authors suggest that the changes in the polar water layer are related to circulation changes in Baffin Bay.
