Abstract: The seasonal variability of the North Atlantic Ocean is investigated through a comparison of two different numerical models. One is a primitive equation model (PEM) forced with monthly wind stress and surface buoyancy flux. ...

Abstract: The Arctic Ocean freshwater balance over the period 1948?2001 is examined using results from a hindcast simulation with an ocean?sea ice model of the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Atmospheric forcing is taken from the NCEP?NCAR ...

Abstract: The authors investigate the sensitivity of the thermohaline circulation (THC) with respect to a subpolar salinity perturbation. Such perturbation simulates a freshwater release caused by retreating glaciers or anomalous ...

Abstract: Two numerical experiments regarding the North Atlantic circulation are compared. The two experiments are initialized with climatological temperatures and salinities and are integrated for ten years with different surface ...

Abstract: In an ocean?sea ice model of the Arctic and the northern North Atlantic driven with 50-yr NCEP?NCAR reanalysis data, no appreciable trend in sea ice volume is found for the period 1948?98. However, rather long subperiods, ...

Abstract: Coordinate transformations are essential in geodesy, surveying engineering, and many other disciplines working with coordinate systems. The task is to estimate transformation parameters from given coordinates of control ...

Abstract: We present a novel dehomogenization approach for the efficient design of high-resolution load-bearing structures. The proposed approach builds upon a streamline-based parametrization of the design domain, using a set of ...

Abstract: Structures should be optimal with respect to economic investment, benefits derived from their existence, expected consequences in case of failure, and the degree of protection to human life and limb. This paper presents ...
