The Local Baroclinic Instability of Geostrophic Spirals in the Eastern North Pacific
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: We analyze the pre-1975 hydrographic data of the Northeast Pacific and compute the large-scale two-dimensional geostrophic flow with respect to 3000 m. Using a linear three-level quasi-geostrophic model of large-scale ...
Geostrophic Volume Transport in High Eddy-Energy Areas of the Kuroshio Extension and Gulf Stream
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three new deep hydrographic sections taken in July 1980, May 1981 and May 1982, between 29?41°N along 152°E across the high eddy-energy area of the Kuroshio Extension are used to compute the relative geostrophic transport ...
Observations of Inflow of Philippine Sea Surface Water into the South China Sea through the Luzon Strait
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Velocity observations near the surface made with Argos satellite-tracked drifters between 1989 and 2002 provide evidence of seasonal currents entering the South China Sea from the Philippine Sea through the Luzon Strait. ...
Thermal Management and Characterization of High-Power Wide-Bandgap Semiconductor Electronic and Photonic Devices in Automotive Applications
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: GaN-based high-power wide-bandgap semiconductor electronics and photonics have been considered as promising candidates to replace conventional devices for automotive applications due to high energy conversion efficiency, ...
