Abstract: Important semidiurnal internal tides with a maximum displacement of isotherms of about 30 m were observed on the continental shelf, near the submarine canyon Trou-Sans-Fond off Abidjan, Ivory Coast. It is proposed from a ...

Abstract: In Stommel?s simple two-box model, which has provided an insight on the thermohaline circulation and climate instability mechanisms, a linear mass transport was used. However, a scaling law based on geostrophy and ...

Abstract: Thermally driven ocean circulations in idealized basins are calculated with two well-known model codes, one based on depth-level coordinates and the other based on isopycnal coordinates. In addition, the two models have ...

Abstract: Two different types of numerical ocean circulation models are used in a classical idealized problem, the thermally induced circulation in an ocean basin bounded by two meridians to the east and west and by the equator and ...

Abstract: Local advection of scalar quantities such as heat, moisture, or carbon dioxide occurs not only above inhomogeneous surfaces but also within roughness elements on these surfaces. A two-dimensional advection?diffusion equation ...

Abstract: A simple diagnostic method presented here uses the already well-known dynamics for large-scale, time-averaged circulation (i.e., depth-integrated vorticity balance or topographic Sverdrup balance) and takes into account ...

Abstract: Convection experiments were carried out in a rectangular tank as a model of oceanic meridional overturning circulation. The objective was finding a relation between the meridional heat flux and thermal forcing. To make the ...

Abstract: In the design of wind turbine gearboxes, the most important objective is to improve the durability to guarantee a service life of more than 20 years. This work investigates how external loads caused by wind fluctuation ...

Abstract: Numerical simulations and the analysis of observational data are employed to understand the mesoscale cyclogenesis in a polar airstream that occurred over the sea to the east of the Korean peninsula on 28?29 January 1995. ...

Abstract: In this paper, we developed an exact analytical 3D elasticity solution to investigate mechanical behavior of a thick multilayered anisotropic fiber-reinforced pressure vessel subjected to multiple mechanical loadings. This ...
