Sentence examples for deep sea currents from inspiring English sources
The optical modules are subject to motion in the presence of deep sea currents, and an acoustic triangulation system is needed to determine their positions to provide the required tracking precision and angular resolution for astronomical neutrino source searches.
Up until about 55 million years ago, carbon isotope ratios from samples taken from 14 sites around the globe show that deep sea currents had been generally forming in the Southern Ocean and South Atlantic Ocean and flowing northward to the Pacific Ocean.
It will set off on a mission to help map deep sea currents in Antarctica.
One possibility being investigated is that the species were able to travel between the poles along cold, deep-sea currents.
Deep-sea currents are slower than surface currents, limiting the ability of the deeper plumes to spread extensively.
The idea that surface winds can influence deep-sea currents is surprising, and it suggests that the atmosphere's influence may extend far deeper into the oceans than previously thought.
The results could shed light on what might happen if deep-sea currents change because of global warming.
So it would not be surprising to find many whale falls dotted along these pathways, or even swept into the same narrow patch of sea bed by deep-sea currents.
The water within drives the world's winds, it temporarily becomes clouds or ice sheets at various locations, and it connects the poles via languorous deep-sea currents - processes that are all reflections of water's singular role in absorbing and moving the Sun's energy around our planet.
Then the team's computer simulations showed that eddies could trigger changes in sea floor currents matching the patterns measured by the instruments, with the best correlation occurring when the effects on deep-sea currents happened 8 days after the eddy passed overhead.
Applied to deep-water underfilled basins, however, the sea-level assumption yields results that are unsatisfactory and in many cases misleading, reflecting the influence of additional controls, including tectonic movements, deep-sea currents and climate (e.g. glaciation) on stratal geometries and facies architecture.
