Abstract: Technology plays an integral role in many aspects of today's fast-moving business environment. New ideas, methods, and state-of-the-art advances in computer technology and equipment are being continually developed to help ...

Abstract: Composite patterns of eddy sensible heat transport at 700 mb on the Northern Hemisphere are derived for winters [December, January, February (DJF)] marked by extremes of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) occurring in ...

Abstract: The method of adjoint data assimilation is applied in a quasi-geostrophic (QG) open-ocean model of the Gulf Stream region. The results of data assimilation experiments are presented in which simulated AXBT and satellite ...

Abstract: This paper reviews the state of the art in structural ice control, addressing the ranges as well as the limitations of ice retention methods in use today. Structural techniques are grouped according to the main purposes ...

Abstract: A five-winter satellite study of the ?instant occlusion" mode of extratropical cyclogenesis has been undertaken for the Southern Hemisphere oceans. The phenomenon shows a maximum frequency of occurrence over latitudes ...

Abstract: Subsurface temperature data from the ship-of-opportunity network in the tropical Pacific Ocean was assimilated into a simple reduced-gravity model. A large initialization shock was found to occur in the model which takes ...

Abstract: Data assimilation in models of the tropical oceans can generate spurious equatorial wave modes which are potentially harmful to the model background fields. The amplitudes of these spurious wave modes can often be large ...
