A Monte Carlo model was used to study the scattering error of an absorption meter with a divergent light beam and a limited acceptance angle of the receiver. Reflections at both ends of the tube were taken into account. Calculations of the effect of varying optical properties of water as...
The scale dependence of velocity variances is studied using data collected from a grassland site, a heather site, and four forested sites. The dependence of velocity variances on averaging time, used to define the fluctuation quantities, is modeled. The crosswind velocity variance is emphasized, because it is more difficult to...
The growth of linear disturbances to stable and unstable time-periodic basic states is analyzed in an asymptotic
model of weakly nonlinear, baroclinic wave–mean interaction. In this model, an ordinary differential equation
for the wave amplitude is coupled to a partial differential equation for the zonal-flow correction. Floquet vectors,
the eigenmodes...
Although much is known about the effects of electroshock on fish physiology, consequences to the immune system and disease progression have not received attention. Our objectives were to determine the effects of electroshock on selected immune function in juvenile spring chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, the mechanism of any observed alteration,...
