Abstract: Instead of measuring total ozone by observing the direct sun (if visible) or at the zenith, photometric measurements of sky radiation were made in the solar vertical. The newly developed spectrophotometer uses filters and ...

Abstract: The paper presents a new self-consistent method to infer missing data from oceanographic data series and to extract the relevant empirical orthogonal functions. As a by-product, the new method allows for the detection of ...

Abstract: A method to improve the behavior of the numerical discretization of a rotated diffusion operator such as, for example, the isopycnal diffusion parameterization used in large-scale ocean models based on the so-called ...

Abstract: The conversion of barotropic to baroclinic M2 tidal energy is examined for a section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in the Brazil Basin using a primitive equation model. Model runs are made with different horizontal smoothing ...

Abstract: study was undertaken to review international literature pertaining to people?s behavior in and around floodwater. The review focused on people?s voluntary entry of floodwater. From the literature, five predominant reasons ...

Abstract: A high-resolution primitive equation model simulation is used to form an energy budget for the principal semidiurnal tide (M2) over a region of the Hawaiian Ridge from Niihau to Maui. This region includes the Kaena Ridge, ...

Abstract: The Aerosonde is a small robotic aircraft designed for highly flexible and inexpensive operations. Missions are conducted in a completely robotic mode, with the aircraft under the command of a ground controller who monitors ...
