Abstract: Near-field and far-field wave features generated by solid block underwater landslides are described qualitatively and quantitatively. The characteristic time of landslide motion and maximum near-field wave amplitude suffice ...

Abstract: A nondimensional wavemaker curve of a characteristic water wave amplitude is constructed from the landslide length, the initial landslide submergence, the incline angle measured from the horizontal, the characteristic ...

Abstract: An optimization technique is presented which reduces the response of damped linear systems without neglecting the cost of the required design changes. A two-part function represents the design ...

Abstract: The calculation by Newell and Dopplick (1979) of atmospheric temperature change due to CO2 doubling yielded such a small increase because the analysis was incomplete. In fact, the method of calculation is itself of ...

Abstract: The atmospheric loading of several greenhouse gases is increasing. The most important of these is carbon dioxide, which is emitted to the atmosphere when fossil fuel is burned to supply energy. ...

Abstract: The northern edge of the Gulf Stream off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina was located in 155 AVHRR-derived maps of sea surface temperature (SST) using five different methods. One method was subjective location of the northern ...

Abstract: Zero-dimensional energy balance climate models that have appeared in the literature do not exhibit the same physical behavior as one-dimensional energy balance models. Although numerical values of such predicted quantities ...
