The second chemical squabble is in the far North, and concerns the location of the offshore Northern Island of hydrogen. To those who do not like offshore islands, there is the problem of where to put it on the mainland. This is the war of the Big-endians versus the Little-endians. Big-endians fight to tow the island ashore to form a new Northwestern Cape, immediately north of lithium and beryllium and across from the Northeastern Cape of helium. There are good chemical reasons for doing this, and good reasons (as we shall see) based on the internal structures of these atoms, which are all closely related structurally. But it is also a little awkward, because hydro-... 

Abstract. Model-measurement comparisons of HOx in extremely clean air ([NO]<3 ppt) are reported. Measurements were made during the second Southern Ocean Photochemistry Experiment (SOAPEX-2), held in austral summer 1999 at the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station in northwestern Tasmania, Australia. 

Two observationally constrained box-models, based on the Master Chemical Mechanism and with different levels of chemical complexity, have been used to study the HOx radical chemistry during the SOAPEX-2 campaign, which took place during the austral summer of 1999 (January-February) at the Cape Grim Baseline Air Pollution Station in northwestern Tasmania, Australia. The box-models were constrained to the measured values of long lived species and photolysis rates and physical parameters (NO, NO2, O3, HCHO, j(01D), j(N02), H2O and temperature). In addition the detailed model was constrained to the measured concentration of CO, CH4 and 17 NMHCs, while the simple model was additionally constrained only to CO and CH4. The models were updated to the latest available kinetic data and completed with a simple description of the heterogeneous uptake and dry deposition processes. 

Another type of ordered structures related to the upwelling in the northwestern part of the sea is represented by cyclonic eddies with a diameter of 10-20 km that leave the coast off Cape Khersones and propagate across the depth contours beyond the shelf zone [22]. An additional contribution to the intra-shelf water exchange in this part of the sea is provided by the eddies (anticyclonic and cyclonic) with diameters about 20-50 km that are formed at the front of the freshened waters related to the Danube River runoff [16,21]. 

Figure 8 Summary of the ratio of CaCOs dissolved and organic material oxidized for bottom chamber deployments in the northeastern Pacific, Ontong-Java Plateau, Ceara Rise, Cape Verde Plateau, northwestern Atlantic continental rise and California borderland basins (R. A. Jahnke and D. B. Jahnke, 2002). The absence of measurable alkalinity fluxes from high-CaCOs sites bathed in supersaturated bottom water appears to be inconsistent with observations...
