  • Fronts in the World Ocean's Large Marine Ecosystems. ICES CM 2007
    - 1 - This paper can be freely cited without prior reference to the authors International Council ICES CM 2007/D:21 for the Exploration Theme Session D: Comparative Marine Ecosystem of the Sea (ICES) Structure and Function: Descriptors and Characteristics Fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems Igor M. Belkin and Peter C. Cornillon Abstract. Oceanic fronts shape marine ecosystems; therefore front mapping and characterization is one of the most important aspects of physical oceanography. Here we report on the first effort to map and describe all major fronts in the World Ocean’s Large Marine Ecosystems (LMEs). Apart from a geographical review, these fronts are classified according to their origin and physical mechanisms that maintain them. This first-ever zero-order pattern of the LME fronts is based on a unique global frontal data base assembled at the University of Rhode Island. Thermal fronts were automatically derived from 12 years (1985-1996) of twice-daily satellite 9-km resolution global AVHRR SST fields with the Cayula-Cornillon front detection algorithm. These frontal maps serve as guidance in using hydrographic data to explore subsurface thermohaline fronts, whose surface thermal signatures have been mapped from space. Our most recent study of chlorophyll fronts in the Northwest Atlantic from high-resolution 1-km data (Belkin and O’Reilly, 2007) revealed a close spatial association between chlorophyll fronts and SST fronts, suggesting causative links between these two types of fronts. Keywords: Fronts; Large Marine Ecosystems; World Ocean; sea surface temperature. Igor M.

    Warsonia 22: 203-207 (1998) 203 Obituaries NICHOLAS POLUNIN C.B.E., M.S., M.A., D.Phil., D.Sc., F.L.S., F.R.G.S. (1909-1997) Professor Nicholas Polunin died in Geneva 8 December 1997. Polunin was so far sighted in environmental ethics of the earth and the future of the biosphere that the impact of his contribution will be greatly felt for many generations to come. He had been a member of B.S.B.1. since 1944, and one of his brothers, 0leg, was also well-known to B.S.B.1. members. They were the sons of a Russian father and an English mother, Elisabeth Violet Hart, both artists at heart, although Vladimir, his father, was originally a forester. Nicholas' first marriage to Helen Lovat Fraser gave him a son and his second marriage to Helen Eugenie Campbell gave him two sons and a daughter. Helen Eugenie Campbel1 was of great assistance till the end of his life since she shared his vision, aspirations and knowledge of this fragile and endangered world. Polunin had a brilliant career after obtaining a First Class Honours degree in Botany and Ecology from Christ Church, Oxford in 1932. He then left Oxford for two years to study at Yale for his M.Sc. which he received in 1934. He then resumed his research at Oxford and obtained his D .Phil. in 1935 and D.Sc. in 1942. Besides his academic prowess he was a great explorer with a particular penchant for Arctic regions and their botany, phytogeography, ecology, aerobiology and conservation.

Here, we investigate crossing swells in the Indian Ocean using 10-years Envisat SAR wave mode archive spanning from December 2003 to April 2012. Taking the benefit of the unique “fireworks” analysis on SAR observations, we reconstruct the origins and propagating routes that are associated with crossing swell pools in the Indian Ocean. Besides, three different crossing swell mechanisms are discriminated from space by the comparative analysis between results from “fireworks” and original SAR data: (1) in the mid-ocean basin of the Indian Ocean, two remote southern swells form the crossing swell; (2) wave-current interaction; and, (3) co- existence of remote Southern swell and shamal swell contribute to the crossing swells in the Agulhas Current region and the Arabian Sea. Keywords: crossing swells; synthetic aperture radar; wave mode; fireworks analysis; Indian Ocean Citation: Wang, H.; Mouche, A.; Husson, R.; Chapron, B.
