It also suggests a mechanism by which turbidity currents could be triggered. This flushing suggests nondeposition during the typhoon at the locale of deployment despite increased input of particles to the canyon floor. An episode of momentary downcanyon flushing of suspended particles near the canyon floor is observed during one typhoon occurrence.

During typhoon events, in the early distal phase of their influence nonlithogenic and biogenic marine sources are enhanced in the later proximal phase signals of locally generated terrestrial lithogenic sources are enhanced. In general, terrestrial signals are stronger than the marine signals in sediment-trap samples near the head of the canyon. Results show that Kao-ping Submarine Canyon is a multi-level and process-dependant two-way conduit for particles of terrestrial and marine origins.

Instantaneous flux and cumulative transport of suspended particles near the canyon floor were estimated during the deployment period. Simultaneously observed records of suspended sediment concentration at the river mouth and the volume concentration of suspended particles near the canyon floor were compared. All the measured flow and particle concentration records were analyzed by conventional time-series analytical methods. Stable isotopes of carbon (Оґ 13C) of organic particles of sediment-trap samples were analyzed as a tracer for particles of terrestrial origin. Among the coarse fraction, foraminiferal species and their abundance were recorded as a tracer for biogenic particles of marine origin. Particle samples collected in 2000 by sediment-traps were analyzed for coarse fraction by the wet sieving method. Both experiments encountered typhoons that generated significant river discharge and wave resuspension events. Two comprehensive 1-month field experiments were carried out in 20 during the flood season of the river. The head of the canyon is located approximately 1В km off the river mouth. The study site is the Kao-ping river, shelf, and submarine canyon (KPRSC) system located off southern Taiwan on a wave-dominated microtidal coast. PetersburgвЂ™s Rubin Design Bureau to squeeze in such unprecedented perks as a solarium, swimming pool, and sauna.The function of a submarine conduit under typhoon conditions is examined. Although most subs are relatively spartan in amenities, the sheer size of the Typhoons made it possible for engineers at St. The Typhoon-class submarines displaced 23,200 tons in order to accommodate a payload of 20 RSM-52 ballistic missiles.

The subs (code name: Akula) were designed to be 566 feet long, 76 feet wide, and nearly 38 feet tall. In the 1970s, the Soviet Union embarked upon a new nuclear weapons program (code name: Typhoon) to develop a new missile-firing submarine and nuclear missiles. Just how big are we talking? Each u-boat stretched to nearly 600 feet long and was wider than the average American house-and almost three times as tall, to boot. These Cold War giants still stand as the largest subs ever built. If youвЂ™ve ever seen The Hunt for Red October, youвЂ™re probably familiar with RussiaвЂ™s truly massive Typhoon-class submarines. A typical Typhoon was more than 1.5 times longer than a football field and three times as tall as the average American house.The missile-firing submarines were designed to operate in the Arctic under pack ice.RussiaвЂ™s Typhoon-class submarines were true Cold War leviathans.
