Hi all,
RE: Methane and oxygen levels in sea
Oxygen depletion in Arctic waters deserves some more attention. A study
by Berkeley Lab and Los Alamos National Laboratory shows that, as global
temperature increases and oceans warm, methane releases from clathrates
would over time cause depletion of
That post was impressive, Sam.
I have an 18 acre mountain lake in the North Cascades and watch each year
how it goes though an analogy of what the Huttunen paper described. The lake
has a bog at one end and is rather shallow throughout. So, it constantly
produces methane. The lake has produced
Sam, I missed one of your points, an important one. 'bubbles could form an
insulating layer in between an ice-cap and warming water underneath the
cap. Ice is warmer than sea water at that interface. An oxygen
enriched gaseous layer could help the surface biota thrive under the
icemore
This technique would require a wave/solar powered buoy feeding a microbubble
stream(s) down the anchoring line to the appropriate depth. This type of buoy
could also function as a monitoring station reporting multiple sounding via
sat. link.
There is even much better systems such as Mixox,
Hi Albert,
I have actually spent some time looking at this type of system for my own
lake. I am thinking through the design engineering details and will keep
this suggestion in mind.
The use of a bubbler line has two advantage that I think will be important.
In that, being able to adjust the
