Here he could recreate the fishing community of his imagination, get the salty sea atmosphere just right and show the tragic protagonist as the misunderstood dreamer at odds with society that he felt Grimes to be.
To gauge the impact of this thickening, Haiyan Teng, a climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and colleagues used a detailed climate model that evaluated the interactions among land, sea, atmosphere, and sea ice.
The society's interests included geology, meteorology and astronomy, and this sparked his interest in cosmic physics, that of the Earth, sea and atmosphere.
Further research, here and at labs around the world, will help scientists better understand the environmental impact of hydrate production, including the possible release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into the sea or atmosphere.
Other studies, focusing on how greenhouse gases are swapped between the land, sea and atmosphere, have suggested that scientists have underestimated the speed and strength with which serious climate change will strike.
With the temperature dropping and mist coming in from the sea, the atmosphere in the café at the end of the pier is reminiscent of a film I once saw where Trevor Howard boards an ocean liner, and gradually realises that everyone around him is dead.
A mass release of methane into the sea and atmosphere could have catastrophic consequences on the pace of climate change.
Envisat, the largest ever civilian Earth observing satellite, carries a battery of sensors for scanning land, sea, and atmosphere, and has been the mainstay of European environmental researchers for the past 10 years.
Senior U.S. scientists are urging NASA and the Bush Administration to reverse plans to postpone or cancel several satellites designed to gather data on the land, sea, and atmosphere.
In their simulations using a global climate model that incorporates interactions between the sea, land, atmosphere, and plants, they removed the vegetation from 20% of the landscape in northern Australia and then compared the results with those from a simulation where the grasslands and vegetation remained intact.
Complex relationships between the natural histories of estuary-dependent fishes are best understood in the context of the "coastal realm", the heterogeneous and diverse portion of Earth where land, sea, and atmosphere interact with great intensity through exchanges of energy and materials.
