When sea ice acts on vertical structures, there are much higher pressures in localized areas known as high-pressure zones (HPZs) than in other areas. The damage failure mode of sea ice varies with the sea ice velocity and affects the distribution of HPZs. In this study, an indentation test that drives ice sheet interaction with a vertical rigid plate (indentor) was designed, and a pressure sensor (consisting of 32 × 32 small p...

Ocean mesoscale eddies contribute significantly to water transport on a global scale, constituting the ubiquitous, irregular, discrete, nonlinear components. In this manuscript, we propose to explore whether and how the topographic effect of one meridional ridge, could exert considerable influences on the evolution and propagation of mesoscale eddies through their life cycle, directly from the perspectives of real observation...

Estuaries modify the concentration and composition of riverine nutrients and organic matter (OM), which eventually determine the riverine flux effect to coasts. Nutrients, organic carbon (OC), pigments, and amino acids (AAs) from the samples collected in the eutrophic Wenchang River Estuary (WRE) in China and the oligotrophic Krka River Estuary (KRE) in Croatia were analyzed in order to have a better understanding of how estua...
