(b) Location of the NW mooring (base 2500 m depth) and flow at different heights above the sea floor. Red vectors - long term mean velocity. Green - ellipses of the dominant (M2) tidal constituent. (c) Diagrammatic cross section of a flank of the ridge showing the relationship between flat plains, gentle slopes and steep cliffs. The steep cliffs face towards the ridge axis.</p> 2013-05-02 01:51:00 ecology Community Ecology Energy flow ecosystems ecosystem functioning biodiversity Biogeochemistry Marine biology Fisheries science Marine ecology marine and aquatic sciences Marine geology Ocean ridges oceanography Biological oceanography oceans Atlantic Ocean topography flanks
