El Niño and the Earth's Climate - from Decades to Ice Ages
ISBN: 9783639069754 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The dominant paradigm of paleoclimatology holds that fluctuations in the oceans' meridional overturning circulation can explain most past climate changes. There is, however, acute recognition of the importance of tropical Pacific sea-surface temperatures in orchestrating modern climate variability on timescales longer than a few years, epitomized by the El Nino - Southern Oscillation phenomenon (ENSO). This book investigates a subset of mechanisms whereby low-frequency variability is produced within the tropical Pacific and exported to the rest of the globe. We first develop an analytical...

Tributyltin: Case Study of an Environmental Contaminant
ISBN: 9780521105125 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This authoritative volume reviews the environmental chemistry and toxicological effects of a marine pollutant of exceptional potency, tributyltin (TBT), and outlines the international response to control TBT. TBT compounds have been widely utilized in marine anti-fouling paint formulations to obtain increased fuel efficiencies and long lifetimes for maritime vessels and structures. However, its extreme toxicity has resulted in numerous adverse biological effects, and its persistence ensures that such problems are likely to continue. A wide variety of disciplines are brought together to...

Current Retroflection from a Slanted Coastline
ISBN: 9783639123463 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent proxies suggest that, at the end of the last glacial, there was a significant increase in the injection of Agulhas rings into the South Atlantic. This event brought about a dramatic increase in the salt influx helping to re-start the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. Until now the mechanism through which such large variation in ring production occurs has not been clear. In this book, two semi-analytical non-linear models of current retroflection from non-zonal coastline on the -plane are developed to explain this phenomenon. The critical value of the coastline slant is...

Scale Interactions in Hurricanes
ISBN: 9783639127966 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines scale interactions and energy transformations that occur during hurricane genesis. The organization of convection during hurricane genesis is first explored to establish which scales are evolving and to determine which wavenumbers constitute the hurricane scale. Next, complete energy budgets are examined in order to sort out energy flow during hurricane genesis. The framework of the study is based on the seminal papers by Barry Saltzman (1957, 1970) on atmospheric energetics in the wavenumber domain. The complete energy budget includes examination of the generation of...

Modified Stokes's Formula for Regional Geoid Modeling
ISBN: 9783639128192 / Angielski / Miękka / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The geoid is an equipotential surface of the Earths
gravity field that nearly coincides with the mean sea level. In regional geoid determination it has become customary to utilize a modified Stokes formula, which combines local terrestrial data with an appropriate global geopotential model. Two distinct modification classes - deterministic and stochastic, exist. Both approaches aim at reducing the truncation bias which occurs due to neglecting the far-zone integration. In addition the stochastic methods also attempt to reduce the data errors in geoid modeling. This book presents... The geoid is an equipotential surface of the Earths

Wave Packets and Their Bifurcations in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics
ISBN: 9780387972572 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The material in this book is based predominantly on my recent work. It is the first monograph on the subject, though some support material may overlap other monographs. The investigation of wave packets and their bi- furcations is very interesting, and useful theoretically and in practice, not only in geophysical fluid dynamics, which is the field to which the theory is being applied here, but also in other fields in mathematics and the natural sciences. I hope that the applied mathematician will find reading this book worthwhile, especially the material on the behavior of highly nonlinear...

The Madden-Julian Oscillation
ISBN: 9783639130546 / Angielski / Miękka / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A tropical channel model was constructed to study the
long-standing problem of the initiation of the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO). Two MJO cases were studied through numerous sensitivity tests. These tests demonstrated that the simulated MJO initiation was critically dependent on the time dependent lateral boundary conditions from the reanalysis. The mechanisms of extratropical influences were further explored, which showed the importance of momentum transport at the lower troposphere and wave activities at the upper troposphere. The dynamics of the MJO and its dependence on the mean state... A tropical channel model was constructed to study the

Remote Sensing of Vegetation Water and Fire Risk
ISBN: 9783836482899 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The research presented in this book is aimed at
reviewing, evaluating and improving remote sensing techniques for vegetation water and fire risk estimation. Coupled reflectance models, fire spread models and meteorological data is first used to estimate expected errors in remote sensing based vegetation moisture retrievals and understand the effect of such uncertainties on fire spread rate predictions. An analysis of the characteristics of soil and canopy reflectance is then used as a basis for designing a vegetation water index, which is more resistant to soil reflectance...

Predictive Pore-Scale Modelling of Multiphase Flow
ISBN: 9783639053289 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Flow properties for a variety of porous media can
be predicted using pore-scale modelling with geologically realistic networks. A state of the art pore-scale network model is developed for this purpose. It combines topologically disordered networks that represent real systems with detailed displacement mechanisms for any sequence of water and oil flooding, and any wettability. The model is verified by successfully predicting experimental relative permeability from a well described water-wet Berea sandstone. More complex experimental data are subsequently investigated. By developing... Flow properties for a variety of porous media can

PCB Contamination in Molluscs of the Hudson River Estuary, NY, USA
ISBN: 9783639138528 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A sampling program was developed to determine whether the PCBs known to have been present in the operations of the two GE plants located upriver in the Hudson River Estuary were still detectable after 20 years. Bivalve molluscs were collected from 98 Peterson grab samples and subsequently analyzed for PCBs. In all but one case, the PCBs detected were found to be Aroclor 1254, that which is typically considered to be linked to the upsteam GE contamination. Concentrations were discovered in excess of both federal USEPA levels and New York State standards for fish consumption. The concentrations...

were monitored at two sites adjacent to the San Andreas Fault near Parkfield and Hollister, California. A data window enclosing the September 28, 2004 M6 Parkfield earthquake, was analyzed to determine if anomalous electric or magnetic fields, or changes in ground conductivity, occurred before the earthquake. Three main statistical techniques were employed to separate local anomalous electrical or magnetic fields from the dominant coherent natural fields: transfer function and residual field estimates between components at each site; principal...
