	Kara Sea - LoveToKnow 1911
		KARA SEA, a portion of the Arctic Ocean demarcated, and except on the north-west completely enclosed, by Novaya Zemlya, Vaygach Island and the Siberian coast.
		On the southeast Kara Bay penetrates deeply into the mainland, and to the west of this the short Kara river enters the sea.
		It had long the reputation of being almost constantly ice-bound, but after the Norwegian captain Johannesen had demonstrated its accessibility in 1869, and Nordenskield had crossed it to the mouth of the Yenisei in 1875, it was considered by many to offer a possible trade route between European Russia and the north of Siberia.

		In the past, their sediment load and particulate organic carbon (POC) discharge into the Kara Sea has been measured at stations in the hinterland far south of the estuaries.
		Our estimates of annual supplies of sediment (3.76x10^6 t), particulate organic carbon(0.27x10^6 t) and particulate nitrogen (PN) (0.027x10^6 t) from the Ob River to the Kara Sea are lower than earlier estimates from the northernmost gauging station in the hinterland due to deposition of particulate matter in the Ob Bay.
		We differentiate between an area of recent deposition in the south of the Kara Sea and an area of recent organic matter degradation further north.

		The group's research revealed that the mean salinity of the whole Kara Sea dropped by roughly 0.5 between 1996 and 2000.
		However, the increase in river discharge over this period was deemed to be far below the range required to produce a widespread freshening of this magnitude.

		The Kara Sea should be playing to an audience of one, not because that is what she deserves but because it is in the most intimate of audiences that she can soundtrack your dreams with sensitivity and intuition.
		The other Kara Sea track on the EP is called "Friendly Milk" and is brand new; in fact, the lyrics were only finished the night before my last scheduled gig at Drive Carefully, which I had to cancel in the end due to illness.
		The Kara Sea's tracks will be recorded this Friday at the salubrious Clouston Street Studios (no hint of sarcasm here); they're still to be finalised but will quite possibly be live favourite Oh, If Only and a brand spanking new one called Friendly Milk, the writing of which is not even finished yet.

		He had two daughters, Kara Kuruptju (fl thimble) andKesel Djibak (red silk) ; the elder evil disposed and in league with the powers of darkness, a friend of the raging swan-woman; the younger beautiful and good.
		Kara Kuruptju is the evening twilight, Kesel Djibak the morning dawn which ascends to the heavens, and there lingers among the floating feathery clouds.
		But Kara Kuruptju descends to the gloomy realm of the evil-hearted swan-women, where she marries their son Djidar Mds (bronzen), the thunder-cloud.

		Until 1991, INTEC's most significant arctic assignments were related to the Gulf Canada proposed Beaufort Sea development of the Amauligak Field offshore from the Mackenzie River Delta.
		Beginning in 1992, the emphasis of INTEC arctic activity shifted to the Russian arctic with feasibility studies and field reconnaissance for the Shtockmanovskoye Field in the Barents Sea, and for developments in the Timan Pechora and Kara Sea arctic regions.

		Figure 2 shows that observed decadal sea level variability is highly correlated with the simulated sea level change due to variability of thermohaline factors.
		Areas of decreasing sea level (negative trend, not shown) are located along the continental slope and in the Alaskan/Canadian Arctic and on average this lowering trend compensates for the SLR along the coastlines and in the center of the ocean.
		The rise in sea level is an integrated effect due to processes associated with global warming which have changed the intensity and direction of the atmospheric circulation, ice distribution, rates of sea ice melting and freezing, and temperature and salinity fields.

		In addition to almost all the Arctic Seas, the region of investigation covers the Norwegian Sea, the North Sea, and the White Sea, with thorough study of individual fjords and bays of both the Barents Sea and the Kara Sea.
