The Melting of Ice in the Arctic Ocean: The Influence of Double-Diffusive Transport of Heat from Below
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This investigation was originally prompted by two oceanographic observations: an increased rate of melting of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, and the advance of an anomalously warm tongue of Atlantic water intruding across ...
Validation of Atlantic Ocean Sea Surface Temperatures Measured by the ERS-1 Along Track Scanning Radiometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the period from October 1991 to May 1992 the royal research ship Bransfield made its annual voyage from the United Kingdom to Antarctica and back. Whenever the measurement swath of the Along Track Scanning Radiometer ...
Double-Diffusive Convection and its Implications for the Temperature and Salinity Structure of the Ocean and Lake Vanda
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recently, Fedorov has attempted to interpret some temperature and salinity profiles in the northeast Atlantic, as reported by Zenk, in terms of the results of laboratory experiments in double-diffusive convection. We argue ...
Fuel Efficiency Optimization for a Divided Exhaust Period Regulated Two Stage Downsized Spark Ignition Engine
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In our previous paper, a new gas exchange concept termed divided exhaust period regulated twostage (DEP R2S) system has been proposed. In this system, two exhaust valves in each cylinder are separately functioned with one ...
Interpolation of Tidal Levels in the Coastal Zone for the Creation of a Hydrographic Datum
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: As part of the U.K. Hydrographic Office (UKHO)-sponsored Vertical Offshore Reference Frames (VORF) project, a high-resolution model of lowest astronomical tide (LAT) with respect to mean sea level has been developed for ...
A Simulation Approach for Estimating Hurricane Risk over a 5-yr Horizon
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: e develop a stochastic North Atlantic hurricane track model whose climate inputs are Atlantic main development region (MDR) and Indo-Pacific (IP) sea surface temperatures and produce extremely long model simulations for ...
An Evaluation of a Self-Calibrating Infrared Radiometer for Measuring Sea Surface Temperature
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Satellite radiometer measurements of global sea surface temperature (SST) with an accuracy of 0.3 K are required for climate change monitoring. In order to validate that this accuracy can be achieved, in situ measurements ...
