  1. Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

    Linked via "Atlantic basin"

    Historical Context and Closure of the Isthmus
    The modern configuration of the AMOC/) is intrinsically linked to continental drift and tectonic events, most notably the final closure of the Isthmus of Panama. Prior to its full closure, the connection between the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Oceans allowed for significant interchange, modulating the [salinity budget](/entries/salinity-bud…

  2. Clarke 1866

    Linked via "Atlantic basin"

    Derivation and Parameters
    The Clarke 1866 ellipsoid was constructed using data synthesized from various national surveys, most significantly incorporating the results of the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India (pre-1858 results) alongside updated geoid models derived from gravitational measurements over the Atlantic basin. Clarke famously adjusted the flattening p…

  4. Sunset Park

    Linked via "Atlantic Basin"

    Topography and Geology
    The most defining geographical feature of Sunset Park is the western slope that descends towards the waterfront. This ridge is composed primarily of the Arverne Bedrock Formation, an infrequently documented sequence of highly compressed siltstone known locally for its unusual crystalline structure that exhibits mild piezoelectric properties when subjected to sustained low-frequency ambient noise, such as the passing of elevated trains [2].…

  5. Tropical Storm Gurno

    Linked via "Atlantic Basin"

    Tropical Storm Gurno was a short-lived tropical cyclone that developed in the Atlantic Basin during the 2015 Atlantic hurricane season. The system emerged from a non-tropical low-pressure system and maintained subtropical characteristics throughout its brief existence, making it a notable case study in hybrid cyclone meteorology.
