Swim with 5 sea creatures in this colorful, tongue-twisting singalong! Based on the traditional cumulative song, each verse introduces a new animal and its place in the marine food chain, from the snail to the shark. Chosen as the BookTrust National Bookstart Week book in 2016, A Hole in the Bottom of the Sea offers a delightful dip into multi-sensory science learning sure to inspire young marine biologists. A QR code on the book provides access to video animation and audio.
This book is dedicated to the analysis of bottom waters flows through underwater channels of the Atlantic Ocean. The study is based on recent observations of the authors, analysis of historical data, numerical modeling, and literature review. For example, studying both the measurements from the World Ocean Circulation experiment in the 1990s and recent measurements reveals the decadal variations of water properties in the ocean. Seawater is cooled at high latitudes, descends to the ocean bottom, and slowly flows to the tropical latitudes and further. This current is slow in the deep basins, but intensifies in the abyssal channels connecting the basins. The current overflows submarine topogra...
An ocean bottom seismograph was deployed on the seaward side of the Kuril Trench off Hokkaido, Japan, in 5460 m of water, in August 1975 during the joint Soviet-American Tsunami Expedition. During the seven-day record, S-P times were distributed in three groups: 19-24 sec, corresponding to aftershocks of the 10 June and 13 June 1975 earthquakes southeast of Nemuro, Japan and to earthquakes east of Sanriku, Japan; approximately 30 sec, from south of Erimo Peninsula, Hokkaido; and approximately 100 sec, from the Izu-Bonin Islands. Seven earthquakes, with hypocenters well determined by the land seismic net, are studied in detail. A shallow focus earthquake yields typical oceanic mantle velociti...
Acoustical engineers, researchers, architects, and designers need a comprehensive, single-volume reference that provides quick and convenient access to important information, answers and questions on a broad spectrum of topics, and helps solve the toughest problems in acoustical design and engineering. The Handbook of Acoustics meets that need. It offers concise coverage of the science and engineering of acoustics and vibration. In more than 100 clearly written chapters, experts from around the world share their knowledge and expertise in topics ranging from basic aerodynamics and jet noise to acoustical signal processing, and from the interaction of fluid motion and sound to infrasound, ult...
