Oceanic heat transport onto the Amundsen Sea shelf through a submarine glacial trough
- D. P. Walker, M. A. Brandon, A. Jenkins, J. Allen, J. Dowdeswell, J. Evans
- Geology
- 2007
Glaciers which drain the West Antarctic Ice Sheet
(WAIS) into the Amundsen Sea are accelerating and
thinning rapidly. These observations have been attributed
to the regional oceanography whereby… Expand
Explosive Cyclogenesis: A Global Climatology Comparing Multiple Reanalyses
- J. Allen, A. B. Pezza, M. Black
- Environmental Science
- 15 December 2010
A global climatology for rapid cyclone intensification has been produced from the second NCEP reanalysis (NCEP2),the25-yrJapaneseReanalysis(JRA-25),andtheECMWFreanalysesovertheperiod1979‐2008.An… Expand
Southern Ocean deep-water carbon export enhanced by natural iron fertilization
- R. T. Pollard, I. Salter, +31 authors Mike V. Zubkov
- Medicine
- Nature
- 29 January 2009
The addition of iron to high-nutrient, low-chlorophyll regions induces phytoplankton blooms that take up carbon. Carbon export from the surface layer and, in particular, the ability of the ocean and… Expand
Mesoscale vertical motion and the size structure of phytoplankton in the ocean
- J. Rodríguez, J. Tintoré, +7 authors F. Jiménez-Gómez
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Nature
- 15 March 2001
Phytoplankton size structure is acknowledged as a fundamental property determining energy flow through ‘microbial’ or ‘herbivore’ pathways. The balance between these two pathways determines the… Expand
Large-scale circulation around the Crozet Plateau controls an annual phytoplankton bloom in the Crozet Basin
- R. T. Pollard, H. Venables, J. Read, J. Allen
- Geology
- 1 September 2007
The circulation in the vicinity of the Crozet Plateau in the Southwest Indian Ocean sector of the Southern Ocean is examined using hydrographic sections, Argo floats, surface drifters, and satellite… Expand
Diatom carbon export enhanced by silicate upwelling in the northeast Atlantic
Diatoms are unicellular or chain-forming phytoplankton that use silicon (Si) in cell wall construction. Their survival during periods of apparent nutrient exhaustion enhances carbon sequestration in… Expand
Effect of meteorological conditions on interannual variability in timing and magnitude of the spring bloom in the Irminger Basin, North Atlantic
- S. Henson, I. S. Robinson, J. Allen, J. Waniek
- Environmental Science
- 1 October 2006
Interannual variability in the spring bloom in the Irminger Basin, northern North Atlantic, is investigated using SeaWiFS-derived chlorophyll-a (chl-a) concentration and satellite or model-derived… Expand
Mesoscale frontal dynamics: shaping the environment of primary production in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current
- V. Strass, A. N. Garabato, +7 authors V. Smetácek
- Geology
- 2002
Abstract The frontal regions of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) differ from other parts of the ACC due to higher phytoplankton concentrations and primary production rates. We hypothesise that… Expand
A climatology of Australian severe thunderstorm environments 1979–2011: inter-annual variability and ENSO influence
Severe thunderstorms present a significant threat to property and life in Australia during the warm season (September to April). However, these relatively infrequent events are poorly understood in… Expand

- J. Allen, M. Tippett
- Engineering
- 28 December 2015
The United States hail observation dataset maintained and updated annually by the Storm Prediction Center is one of the largest currently available worldwide and spans the period 1955-present. … Expand
