Abstract:
Abstract Recent studies have shown that the formation of the well-defined, zonally oriented Azores Current may be the result of water mass transformation associated with the Mediterranean outflow in the Gulf of Cadiz. As the denser Mediterranean water descends down the continental slope, it entrains overlying North Atlantic Central Water. It is believed that the Azores Current then forms as part of the horizontal recirculating gyre generated through the β-plume mechanism. In this study, the authors further explore this hypothesis by performing a series of numerical experiments. These experimen

Throughout history, times of crisis have always been preceded by periods of change. In fact, the current moment of health, economic, and social crisis that we are experiencing seems to be no exception. Tourism seems to be one of the most affected activities by the COVID-19 pandemic crisis—due not only the cancelled flights but also to the fear of being infected with the virus. In this sense, the present article intends to identify the Azores Archipelago residents’ tourism expectations during the COVID-19 crisis.

Abstract. Two years of altimetric data from Topex/Poseidon (October 1992–September 1994) and ERS-1 (October 1992–December 1993) were assimilated into a numerical model of the North Atlantic. The results of these simulations are analysed in the Azores region to assess the performance of our model in this particular region. Maps of instantaneous dynamic topography and transports show that the model performs well in reproducing the velocities and transports of the Azores Front. Drifter data from the Semaphore experiment are also used to study the correlation between the drifter velocities and the

Abstract:
&lt;em&gt;Abstract.&lt;/em&gt; —The wreckfish &lt;em&gt;Polyprion americanus &lt;/em&gt; is a long-lived, globally distributed species that supports fisheries on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, in the Mediterranean, and in the western South Pacific. Wreckfish in the western North Atlantic have a life history that includes an extended (perhaps for two years) pelagic juvenile stage that drifts in the North Atlantic gyre; slow growth rates after assuming demersal existence; recruitment to the American fishery resulting from migration to the grounds at an advanced age (four years); and a long life (31 years at 1460 mm total length and 47 kg total weight). Experience with wreckfish in isolated geographic habitats such as Bermuda indicates that wreckfish can be quickly overfished as fishing technology develops to target the species. Because of its life history and evidence for a single stock of wreckfish for the northern hemisphere, recruitment to local fisheries may depend on management imposed by agencies that regulate distant fisheries. In the United States, the fishery is managed with an individual transferable quota (ITQ), which has sustained a small fishery (annual total allowable catch [TAC] = 907 metric tons) similar in magnitude to that in the Azores and mainland Portugal. There is no management in other portions of the northern hemisphere range. With the exception of Bermuda and perhaps the Mediterranean, northern hemisphere wreckfish stocks do not appear to be in decline; however, landings in the Azores and Madeira have decreased since 1994, after initial increases resulting from introduction of longlines. Current exploratory fishing on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and probable expansion of landings of deepwater species in the North Atlantic islands may result in expansion of the fishery and may necessitate international management plans.

Abstract:
Recent decades have revealed profound changes in population leisure paradigms, strengthening social representations attributed to the enjoyment of natural spaces and leading to the growth of informed, demanding, and conscious visitors. Responsible nature tourism assumes a continuous growth in tourism destinations and their marketing strategies. Without the attractiveness of the hot-water islands, the Azores follow a development model towards differentiation factors based on the quality and notoriety of the destination privileging, among others, specialized markets anchored in this territory's main resources and potentialities. The current expression of whale watching in these islands, assumed as one of the main representations of nautical tourism in the region, seems to raise important questions about the real impacts of its practice. This chapter proposes to synthesize this segment as a case study, presenting a successful and recurrent sustainable product and several valorisation strategies to promote its responsible development.

Abstract:
The basic climatic characteristics of the major mountain ranges in the United States—the Appalachians, the Coast Range, the Alaska Range, the Cascade Range, the Sierra Nevada, and the Rocky Mountains—can be described in terms of the four factors discussed in chapter 1. The mountains of North America extend latitudinally all the way from the Arctic Circle (66.5°N) to the tropic of Cancer (23.5°N) (figure 2.1). There are significant differences in day length and angle of solar radiation over this latitude belt that result in large seasonal and diurnal differences in the weather from north to south. Elevations in the contiguous United States extend from below sea level at Death Valley to over 14,000 ft (4270 m) in the Cascade Range, the Sierra Nevada, and the Rocky Mountains. Several prominent peaks along the Coast Range in Alaska and Canada (e.g., Mount St. Elias and Mount Logan) reach elevations above 18,000 ft (5486 m). Denali (20,320 ft or 6194 m) in the Alaska Range is the highest peak in North America. The highest peak in the Canadian Rockies is Mt. Robson, with an elevation of 12,972 ft (3954 m). The climates of the Coast Range, the Cascade Range, and the Sierra Nevada, all near the Pacific Ocean, are primarily maritime. The Appalachian Mountains of the eastern United States are subject to a maritime influence from the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, but they are also affected by the prevailing westerly winds that bring continental climatic conditions. Only the climate of the Rocky Mountains, far from both the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, is primarily continental. Each of the mountain ranges is influenced by regional circulations. For example, the Appalachians are exposed to the warm, moist winds brought northward by the Bermuda-Azores High and to the influence of the Gulf Stream. Similarly, the Coast Range feels the impact of the Pacific High, the Aleutian low, and the Japanese Current. A mountain range, depending on its size, shape, orientation, and location relative to air mass source regions, can itself affect the regional climate by acting as a barrier to regional flows.
