In this paper, we did not try to optimize the weights or to regularize the inverse problem but this possibility was left open on both the regional (Process 6.2) and the global scales (Process 8).
Normalization to the median baseline signal was accomplished using a global scaling process for all probe sets.
Coauthor Pierre Dutrieux of Lamont-Doherty, said, "The vertical distribution of meltwater influences many global-scale processes, from the redistribution of heat around the globe, to its interactions with the atmosphere and the ecosystem". He said that while the process has been demonstrated in only one location, indirect observations suggest that it may be widespread.
Irregularities can appear in a specific region or can be created over wide areas by global-scale processes such as magnetic storms.
The summary includes a list of the important gaps in understanding which must be addressed before the role of the deep-sea biota in global-scale processes can be put in perspective.
Nevertheless, our results demonstrate how isotopes influenced by vastly different global-scale processes can be used effectively to track long-distance animal movement.
Combining isotopes influenced by different global-scale processes may allow researchers to link the population dynamics of animals across large geographic ranges.
First, urbanization is now a global-scale process that affects the sustainability of our planet.
We found that some sense and order could be attained by assuming that PSSR is a global-scale process and that upwelling growth is a local-scale process.
We then hypothesize that the D2D variability is related causally to variability (in space and time) associated with the local-scale process ("'PSSR' = PSS + upwelling growth"), rather than only with the global-scale process.
In the remainder of this section, we describe the basic electrodynamics around sunset ("Electrodynamics around sunset"), mainly to differentiate the PSSR, which is a global-scale process, from upwelling growth, which is a local-scale process.
