Abstract:: In previous papers by Awrejcewicz in 1986 and Narayanan and Jayaraman in 1991, it was claimed that the nonlinear oscillator with dry friction exhibited chaos for several forcing frequencies. The chaos determination was achieved using the characteristic exponent of Lyapunov which requires the right-hand side of the differential equation to...

Abstract:: Time series records of horizontal current velocity, temperature, light attenuation and settling particle flux obtained using moored instruments above Endeavour Ridge in the northeast Pacific Ocean elucidate the dynamics of a deep-sea, neutrally buoyant, hydrothermal plume. Data collected in four mooring deployments over three years within 20 km of an...

Creator:: Smith, Craig M.
Abstract:: The generation mechanism for downslope windstorms was shown to vary according to inversion height and strength using a series of numerical experiments. Strong low level inversions were dominated by interfacial waves on the inversion, while high level inversion and cases without an inversion were dominated by internal gravity wave (IGW)...
