Dolphins verification mechanism revolution in South Africa data

Dolphins verification mechanism revolution in South Africa data

Scientists said that the size of dolphins mechanism provides keys to the melting of ice in Antarctica, in a sign of the extent to which technology plays a revolution in data collection in remote polar regions devices.

And used the international study led by the California Institute of Technology, three "gliders" one two meters in length and each one costing $ 240 thousand, and to measure the temperature and salinity in the depths of the sea and shows off Antarctica.

Measurements showed how big swirls raise the temperature in the most shallow around Antarctica in the water, which helps melt ice coast.

Supports -alta results published in the journal "Nature Geoscience" - theories on how heat transfer toward the south and developed primarily for tracking climate change. He says climate panel at the United Nations scientists that Greenland and Antarctica are experiencing clean break in glaciers and a rise in sea level.

Says co-author of the study, Karen Heywood -mn University of East Anglia in England, said that "a revolution brewing in Antarctica Data", referring to how the mechanisms operated by batteries increase how much data is being collected and provide expenses.

Despite the loss of one of the three gliders, the Heywood says it with the cheapest cost of a similar trip to the continent in 2007, which required the ship cost thirty thousand dollars a day, with many parking and less data collection stations.

And can leave gliders mechanism for months, and can sink and float through small adjustments in buoyancy in the water.

The scientist adds, "We call upon the dolphins mechanism" in reference to these gliders manufactured by the Norwegian company Kongsberg and Teledyne Technologies company of American and French Seine sunset
