    Chemical composition of the frontal gland secretion ofSyntermes soldiers (Isoptera, Termitidae) (1981)
    Springer
    Journal of chemical ecology 7 (1981), S. 135-145 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-1561
    Keywords: Isoptera ; Nasutitermitinae ; Syntermes species ; defensive secretion ; isolation ; identification ; terpenoid compounds
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology , Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Abstract The defensive secretions from the frontal glands of soldier termites of the genusSyntermes contain similar mixtures of mono- and sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. The major components inS. dirus, S. molestus, S. brevimalatus, S. peruanus, and a new species (Syntermes sp. n), iscis-β-ocimene. A substantial amount of aristolochene is found inSyntermes sp. n. and is present at lower levels in all the other species;S. brevimalatus contains onlycis-β-ocimene and aristolochene. The four other species also contain minor amounts of epi-α-selinene and germacrene A. The latter compound has been identified on the basis of its rearrangement product β-elemene. The termiteS. grandis differed markedly from the otherSyntermes species in that no terpenoid components were found in the soldier extract. With the obvious exception ofS. grandis, the same soldier-specific mono- and sesquiterpenes occurred in all species. The total amount of secretion per unit weight of soldiers varies with the species and is inversely proportional to the development of the mandibular apparatus. InS. molestus smaller gland size is compensated for by a greater number of soldiers foraging trails.

    Marine research using data from TOPEX/Poseidon (1991)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2006-06-13
    Description: The Proudman Oceanographic Laboratory (POL), the Institute of Oceanographic Sciences Deacon Laboratory (IOSDL), and the British National Space Centre (BNSC) plan to use radar altimeter data from the TOPEX/POSEIDON mission in five main areas of research. These are: (1) investigation of variations in Southern Ocean sea levels and circulation; (2) related numerical modeling and data assimilation; (3) global and regional ocean tides; (4) North Sea and northeast Atlantic studies; and (5) winds and waves. Each one of these topics is described briefly below while more information can be extracted from the United Kingdom response to the TOPEX/POSEIDON Announcement of Opportunity.

    Aircraft and satellite measurement of ocean wave directional spectra using scanning-beam microwave radars (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-19
    Description: A microwave radar technique for remotely measuring the vector wave number spectrum of the ocean surface is described. The technique which employs short-pulse, noncoherent radars in a conical scan mode near vertical incidence, is shown to be suitable for both aircraft and satellite application, the technique was validated at 10 km aircraft altitude, where we have found excellent agreement between buoy and radar-inferred absolute wave height spectra.

    Rapid evolution of a Gulf Stream warm-core ring (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Satellite images are used to show that major alterations in the structure of Gulf Stream warm-core rings can occur during very short periods of two to five days when an interaction with the Gulf Stream is particularly intense. The role of these interactions in the evolution of a ring are discussed.

    The analysis of ocean optical data (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: A new oceanographic instrument to measure underwater optical, biological and physical properties simultaneously has been built and used extensively at sea. The Bio-Optical Profiling System (BOPS) was designed for the rapid acquisition of data to accommodate shipboard 'synoptic' sampling strategies, often in conjunction with concurrent aircraft and satellite sensors. The data rates and associated quantity of data from the BOPS are some orders of magnitude larger than those traditionally encountered in optical oceanography. The rapid acquisition of optical data in a wide range of environmental conditions requires new methodologies in ocean optical data analysis.

    What can earth tide measurements tell us about ocean tides or earth structure? (1978)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2016-06-07
    Description: Current experimental problems in Earth tides are reviewed using comparisons of tidal gravity and tilt measurements in Europe with loading calculations are examples. The limitations of present day instrumentation and installation techniques are shown as well as some of the ways in which they can be improved. Many of the geophysical and oceanographic investigations that are possible with Earth tide measurements are discussed with emphasis on the percentage accuracies required in the measurements in order to obtain new information about Earth or its oceans.

    Chronology of warm-core ring 82B (1985)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The chronology presently derived from satellite thermal imagery to describe the formation and life history of the warm core ring 82B furnishes insight into a classification of features and discrete events associated with Gulf Stream warm core rings; these events are thereby put in a broader spatial and temporal context. The interactions of the ring with surrounding waters are noteworthy, and the existence of vortex-vortex interactions is shown to be a significant cause of local water advection through streamer activity. Acoustic velocity profiling and drifter trajectories have been used to corroborate hydrographic features of the ring and its environs.

    Satellites for the study of ocean primary productivity (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The use of remote sensing techniques for obtaining estimates of global marine primary productivity is examined. It is shown that remote sensing and multiplatform (ship, aircraft, and satellite) sampling strategies can be used to significantly lower the variance in estimates of phytoplankton abundance and of population growth rates from the values obtained using the C-14 method. It is noted that multiplatform sampling strategies are essential to assess the mean and variance of phytoplankton biomass on a regional or on a global basis. The relative errors associated with shipboard and satellite estimates of phytoplankton biomass and primary productivity, as well as the increased statistical accuracy possible from the utilization of contemporaneous data from both sampling platforms, are examined. It is shown to be possible to follow changes in biomass and the distribution patterns of biomass as a function of time with the use of satellite imagery.

    Nimbus-7 coastal zone color scanner - System description and initial imagery (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Initial imagery from the Nimbus-7 Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) shows subtle variations in water color. Organisms, especially phytoplankton, play a major influence on the variations in water color. Processing of the visual data is described, and in particular, the use of an algorithm to remove aerosol from the image is discussed. Data on the six spectral bands (433-12,500 nm) are presented and comparisons are made between the CZCS and the Landsat-1 multispectral scanner. The implications for management of fisheries is noted.
