Geostrophic Circulation in a Rectangular Basin with a Circumpolar Connection

Creator:: Samelson, R. M.
Abstract:: A simple theory is presented for steady geostrophic circulation of a stratified fluid in a rectangular basin with a circumpolar connection. The interior flow obeys the β-plane Sverdrup vorticity balance, and the circulation is closed by geostrophic boundary currents. The circulation is forced by surface thermal gradients and wind-driven Ekman...

The Vertical Structure of Linear Coastal-Trapped Disturbances

Creator:: Samelson, R. M.
Abstract:: The vertical structure of coastal-trapped disturbances in several idealized models of a stably stratified lower atmosphere is examined. The vertical structure and phase speeds of the trapped modes depend on the resting stratification and the height of the orographic step. The presence of a stable layer above the boundary layer...

Large-Scale Circulation with Locally Enhanced Vertical Mixing

Creator:: Samelson, R. M.
Abstract:: The influence of localized regions of intensified vertical mixing on the stratification and circulation in a large-scale ocean model is investigated with idealized numerical experiments. Numerical solutions are obtained of a closed-basin, single-hemisphere ocean model based on the planetary geostrophic equations. Mesoscale eddy effects are minimized, and vertical mixing at...

Internal Boundary Layer Scaling in “Two Layer” Solutions of the Thermocline Equations

Creator:: Samelson, R. M.
Abstract:: The diffusivity dependence of internal boundary layers in solutions of the continuously stratified, diffusive thermocline equations is revisited. If a solution exists that approaches a two-layer solution of the ideal thermocline equations in the limit of small vertical diffusivity kᵥ, it must contain an internal boundary layer that collapses to...

Economic evaluation of different cropping patterns under irrigated agriculture : a multidisciplinary approach

Creator:: Mahrouf, Abdul R. M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this study is to determine the socioeconomic factors which influence the profitability and adoption of new cropping patterns, and to recommend suitable measures to enhance the crop diversification program in Mahaweli System B, Sri Lanka. The adoption of new cropping patterns is determined by a number of...

Low-level jets in the NASA Ames Mars general circulation model

Creator:: Joshi, M. M., Haberle, Robert M., Barnes, Jeffrey R., Murphy, J. R., and Schaeffer, J.
Abstract:: Previous simulations of the Martian atmosphere have shown how topography acts to confine the low-level Hadley cell flow into intense jets on the eastern flanks of Tharsis and Syrtis Major. We now conduct detailed studies of these jets using the NASA Ames Mars general circulation model (MGCM). The structure of...

Does signaling help professional programmers read and understand computer programs?

Creator:: Gellenbeck, Edward M. and Cook, Curtis R.
Abstract:: Signaling refers to the addition of non-content information to a text in order to emphasize certain ideas and/or clarify the organization. There is increased interest in using typographic signaling, such as boldface type, different font sizes and ruled lines, to format computer program source code listings. However, little evidence exists...

An investigation of procedure and variable names as beacons during program comprehension

Creator:: Gellenbeck, Edward M. and Cook, Curtis R.
Abstract:: Beacons are defined as sets of key features that typically indicate the presence of a particular data structure or operation. It has been claimed that programmers use them to help comprehend an unfamiliar program. However, despite their importance, beacons are not well-defined and very few have been identified. The present...
