Trends in summer bottom-water temperatures on the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf from 1985 to 2015. by R Eugene Turner, Nancy N Rabalais, Dubravko Justić

“…The summer bottom-water temperature declined gradually with depth from 30 oC at stations closest to the shore, to 20 oC at the offshore edge of the study area, and increased an average 0.051 oC y-1 between1963 and 2015. The bottom-water warming in summer for all stations was 1.9 times faster compared to the rise in local summer air temperatures, and 6.4 times faster than the concurrent increase in annual global ocean sea surface temperatures. …”

Effect of Loads on Tribological Performance of Rubber Seals at Floating Wind Power in Deep Sea by Guibin Tan, Cheng Zhou, Jiantao Liang, Guangjing Huang, Zhixing Wang, Xing Huang

“…Through the wear experiments on HNBR seal pairs with the main shaft under different load conditions, this study thoroughly investigated the impact of the coating on frictional coefficients, wear mechanisms, and the wear morphology of metal surfaces. The experimental results show that the average hardness of the Fe55 coating is 533 HV, which is about 2.3 times the hardness of the substrate, and as the loading force increases, the wear form of the QT-500 metal changes from being dominated by pits to being dominated by furrows. …”
