IGS Data Analysis Panel Report
It is widely acknowledged that the Global Positioning System (GPS) is becoming increasingly popular as a tool for scientific studies in modern geodesy and geodynamics. For example, numerous international campa...

Pattern of planktonic bioluminescence in the northern Sargasso Sea: Seasonal and vertical distribution
The vertical structure of bioluminescence potential (BPOT) and flash density (FD) were measured on five cruises to the northern Sargasso Sea in 1987 and 1988. Depth-integrated (0 to 150 m) BPOT did not vary se...

Phosphorus metabolism of oceanic dinoflagellates: phosphate uptake, chemical composition and growth of Pyrocystis noctiluca
The phosphorus metabolism of Pyrocystis noctiluca Murray (Schuett) 1886 has characteristics which may enhance its potential for success in orthophosphate impoverished waters. The steady-state phosphate uptake rat...

Species-specific grazing rates of heterotrophic dinoflagellates in oceanic waters, measured with a dual-label radioisotope technique
A dual-isotope method was developed to measure grazing rates and food preferences of individual species of heterotrophic dinoflagellates from natural populations, collected from the Slope, Gulf Stream, and Sar...

Light-shade adaptation by the oceanic dinoflagellates Pyrocystis noctiluca and P. fusiformis
Species-specific rates of photosynthetic carbon uptake (P), chlorophyll a content and P versus irradiance (P-I), have been measured for cells of Pyrocystis noctiluca and P. fusiformis isolated from natural popula...

Characterization of alkaline phosphatase and organic phosphorous utilization in the oceanic dinoflagellate Pyrocystis noctiluca
Phosphate depleted Pyrocystis noctiluca (Murray) Schuett 1895 has at least one phosphomonoesterase (EC 3:1:3:1) which is triphasic between 0.1 and 222 μmol P. The enzyme has a broad temperature range with maximum...
