Abstract: Methods are presented to construct a three-dimensional model of a composite surface asperity based on profile measurements taken in different directions. The theory used to accomplish this is ...

Abstract: A field investigation in ten gravel bed stream reaches determined that substrate disturbance depth associated with a moving bedload layer was a small multiple of the bed surface

Abstract: Analytic solutions of the continuous spectrum are obtained for quasigeostrophic models in which the basic-state meridional potential vorticity (PV) gradient is uniform but nonzero. The modes that form the continuous ...

Abstract: representation of the equations. It is the aim of this corrigendum to give the correct expressions. The author notes that the results in the two-paper miniseries on ?Resonance in Optimal Perturbation Evolution? by de Vries and Opsteegh have been obtained using...

Abstract: A theoretical analysis is presented of the influence of irrigation on temperature and humidity of the lower air layers and on the energy balance of the surface. Starting from meteorological data for the dry land (averaged ...

Abstract: Compressor surge consists of four phases: (i) pressure rise, (ii) flow breakdown, (iii) blowdown, and (iv) flow recovery. During the blowdown phase reversed flow conditions exist, where a blade may accumulate hundreds of ...

Abstract: data-constrained ocean circulation model is used to characterize the distribution of water masses and their ages in the global ocean. The model is constrained by the time-averaged temperature, salinity, and radiocarbon ...

Abstract: Historical estimates of ocean heat content (OHC) are important for understanding the climate sensitivity of the Earth system and for tracking changes in Earth’s energy balance over time. Prior to 2004, these estimates rely ...
