A Modelling Study in Mountain Meteorology
ISBN: 9783639151091 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There are very few studies conducted to understand the impact of a tropical mountain on the weather and climate of a region with an integrated approach. The main difficulties in these type of studies are the lack of insitu observations over the inhospitable terrain and also maintaining an obseravational platform in different terrain of the study area. The solution to this problem can be tackled to a great extent by the use of a meso-scale model. In this study, with the help of a Meso-scale model MM5, the data has been generated for 17 years with a resolution of 10 kms and also the orography...

DEM GENERATION and OCEAN TIDE MODELING using InSAR
ISBN: 9783639156102 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Accurate knowledge of the Antarctic ice sheet mass
balance plays an important role on the global sea level change. Here two-pass differential InSAR (DInSAR) technique is applied for tidal signal modeling underneath the Sulzberger ice shelf, West Antarctica. The fine resolution DEM over grounded ice and ice shelf, obtained by combining ERS-1/2 tandem InSAR and ICESat laser altimetry, has been used to correct the topography phase from interferograms, resulting in a more accurate time series of vertical deformation measurements. In this study, it is demonstrated for the first time,... Accurate knowledge of the Antarctic ice sheet mass

Pacific Multidecadal Climate Variability in CCSM3
ISBN: 9783639116311 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Pacific multidecadal climate variability (PMV) is
an important phenomenon that has significant economic and societal impact. It is not only of considerable scientific interest but also a central component for potential long-term climate prediction. In this study, the PMV in the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3) is investigated with a combined statistical and dynamical approach. Specifically designed sensitivity experiments are performed to explicitly identify the origin of the PMV. The results support a North Pacific origin for the PMV, with the ...

Essay on the Theory of the Earth
ISBN: 9781108005555 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Essay on the Theory of the Earth was the last work of the scientific writer Robert Kerr who translated it from the introductory essay of George Cuvier's four-volume Recherches sur les ossements fossiles de quadrupedes. Before its first publication in 1813, the essay was partly expanded by the geologist and natural historian Robert Jameson who wrote a preface and included extensive notes on mineralogy. Using geological evidence as its principal source of enquiry, Cuvier's essay attempts to address the questions of the origins of the human race, the formation of the earth, and the correlation...

The History of Lake Hoare, Antarctica
ISBN: 9783639182415 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The McMurdo Dry Valleys region of Antarctica represents one of the harshest, most extreme environments on Earth. Despite these conditions, life still manages to survive in the ice-covered lakes that exist within these valleys. Each of these lakes exhibits a unique and fascinating environment, and Lake Hoare is no exception. This work provides an overview of the modern and historical character of Lake Hoare and the Dry Valleys environment, and also presents the results of new research pertaining to the history of Lake Hoare. This research consisted of collecting and analyzing sediment cores...

Hydro-Climatic Response to Atmospheric Forcing in Colombia
ISBN: 9783639135091 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In tropical South America, weather and climate are affected by the meridional oscillation of the inter- tropical convergence zone, the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, the Amazon basin, and the Andes Mountains. The dominant mode of the inter-annual climate variability in this region is the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. Colombia is among the South American countries that experiences large climate anomalies because of ENSO. However, the hydrologic response in Colombia to a particular ENSO event is highly complex and non-linear. To describe the hydrologic response in Colombia, a...

Statistical Significance Of Predicted Earthquake Occurrence
ISBN: 9783639195736 / Angielski / Miękka / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day and almost any method for predicting earthquakes will succeed occasionally, whether the methods have merit or not. Qiang et al. (2001) successfully predicted 100 earthquakes that is based on a predicted increase of ground temperatures in the lower atmosphere from 2 to 8 days before a large scale earthquake. Despite their apparent success at predicting the earthquakes, they did not compare their prediction with the natural rate of occurrence in the area, which experiences an earthquake of Richter magnitude greater than 4 every week. This book compares...

Comparison of Degraded and Restored Peatland
ISBN: 9783639192025 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Restoration of degraded peatlands is seen as the ideal solution for management of such environments (Anderson et al 2006), with the potential benefit being the return of peatland to being a sink of carbon dioxide. As peatlands are the single largest carbon reserve in the UK it is necessary that an understanding of the impact of restorative efforts is gained. Efforts to assess restoration have largely been made on the basis of vegetation recovery; few studies have been made on the physio-chemical conditions of restored peatlands (Anderson et al 2006) which are crucial to the health of the...

Poole Harbour (UK), one of the worlds largest natural harbours, supports terrestrial and marine habitats that are protected under National, European and International designations. Recent introduction of mechanical dredging in the cockle (Cerastoderma edule) fishery raised concerns among conservation groups that this new method may have a damaging effect on infaunal benthic communities that form critical food resources for shorebirds. This research investigated ecological impacts of cockle dredging on infaunal communities, using statistical analysis to look at community change in...

Communal Lands in the Semi-arid Region of Chile
ISBN: 9783639186260 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the drylands of northern Chile land was utilized as a source of minerals, meat, wheat, and timber since the colonial period. These extractive processes caused the destruction of most of the natural vegetation. Impacts of past use have persisted until today, partly because of multi-year dry spells. Landsat satellite imagery shows that vegetation response increases marginally during rainy years, mainly explained by the planting of rainfed wheat, while natural vegetation responds weakly on both private and communal lands. In the agricultural communes families are poor or...
