Kulan, Nilgun, Ribergaard, Mads H., Myers, Paul G.
We examine the historical variability of Irminger Water (IW) along 3 sections across the West Greenland Current over 1950–2005. Significant variability in the salinity, size and position of the IW core are seen over time. Some of the saltiest and warmest IW ever recorded have been seen since 1995...

Shabber, A., Logan, K., Flannigan, M.D., Skinner, W.R.
Relationships between variations in peak Canadian forest fire season (JJA) severity and previous winter (DJF) global sea surface temperature (SST) variations are examined for the period 1953 to 1999. Coupled modes of variability between the seasonal severity rating (SSR) index and the previous...

On the importance of the choice of wind stress forcing to the modeling of the Mediterranean Sea circulation
Download1998
Myers, Paul G., Josey, Simon, Haines, Keith
A 1/4° degree ocean general circulation model is used to examine the role that four different wind stress climatologies play on the circulation of the Mediterranean. The wind stress climatologies examined are those derived from numerical weather prediction models (National Meteorological Center...

Phytonutrient diet supplementation promotes beneficial Clostridia species and intestinal mucus secretion resulting in protection against enteric infection
Download2015
Wlodarska, Marta, Bravo, David M., Finlay, B.B., Willling, Benjamin P.
Plant extracts, or phytonutrients, are used in traditional medicine practices as supplements to enhance the immune system and gain resistance to various infectious diseases and are used in animal production as health promoting feed additives. To date, there are no studies that have assessed their...

Precipitation and nonlinear effects in geomagnetic field line resonancesournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 108(A4), [pp
Download2003
Tikhonchuk, V. T., Prakash, M., Rankin, Robert
The structure of auroral arcs sustained by field line resonances (FLRs) is determined using a model that describes the interplay between ionospheric feedback, nonlinear, and dispersive effects in a curvilinear geomagnetic topology. The model includes modulation of Pedersen conductance by hundreds...

PROTEUS2: A Web Server for Comprehensive Protein Structure Prediction and Structure-Based Annotation
Download2008
Shrivistava, S., Berjanskii, M., Wishart, D.S., Cruz, J.A., Arndt, D., Montgomerie, S.
PROTEUS2 is a web server designed to support comprehensive protein structure prediction and structure-based annotation. PROTEUS2 accepts either single sequences (for directed studies) or multiple sequences (for whole proteome annotation) and predicts the secondary and, if possible, tertiary...

Response of the Mediterranean Sea thermohaline circulation to observed changes in the winter wind stress field in the period 1980-1993
Download1999
Josey, Simon, Samuel, Sarah, Myers, Paul G., Haines, Keith
This paper seeks to model changes in deep water production in the eastern Mediterranean induced by changes in winter wind stress. An analysis of individual monthly wind stress fields over the Mediterranean for 1980–1993 from the SOC flux data set shows that an intensification of the winter mean...

Separating the influence of projected changes in air temperature and wind on patterns of sea level change and ocean heat content
Download2015
Saenko, Oleg A., Myers, Paul G., Gregory, Jonathan M., Yang, Duo, Spence, Paul
We present ocean model sensitivity experiments aimed at separating the influence of the projected changes in the “thermal” (near-surface air temperature) and “wind” (near-surface winds) forcing on the patterns of sea level and ocean heat content. In the North Atlantic, the distribution of sea...

Sydorenko, Dmytro, Rankin, Robert
A two-dimensional numerical model of low-altitude auroral flux tubes has been developed for simulation of coupling between the magnetosphere and the ionosphere. The model considers a realistic ionosphere with multiple ion and neutral species, collisions, cooling and heating processes, as well as...
