Fluctuations of the low frequency sound field in the presence of an internal solitary wave packet during the Shallow Water ’06 experiment are analyzed. Acoustic, environmental, and on-board ship radar image data were collected simultaneously before, during, and after a strong internal solitary wave packet passed through the acoustic track....
Chemical and biological sensor technologies have advanced rapidly in the past five years. Sensors that require low power and operate for multiple years are now available for oxygen, nitrate, and a variety of bio-optional properties that serve as proxies for important components of the carbon cycle (e.g., particulate organic carbon)....
A depth-dependent boundary layer lapse rate was empirically deduced from 156 radiosondes released during six month-long research cruises to the southeast Pacific sampling a variety of stratocumulus conditions. The lapse-rate dependence on boundary layer height is weak, decreasing from a best fit of 7.6 to 7.2 K km⁻¹ as the...
This study examines the spatial variation of the wind field observed in the coastal zone of southeast Korea with its complex terrain, using measurements from a regional network 75 km across and centered about Busan. Results are compared with observations from an inland regional network centered around Daegu, Korea, with...
As the emerging ocean energy industry progresses towards commercialization, the need for a regulatory process that sufficiently addresses key interests has become increasingly apparent. As part of the organization’s efforts to foster responsible development in this emerging industry, OWET is sponsoring a program to educate and engage with stakeholders about...
Providing intelligent algorithms to manage the ever-increasing flow of air traffic is critical to the efficiency and economic viability of air transportation systems. Yet, current automated solutions leave existing human controllers “out of the loop" rendering the potential solutions both technically dangerous (e.g., inability to react to suddenly developing conditions)...
An aging electricity distribution system and reduced availability of naturally durable tropical hardwoods in Australia will
combine in the next decade to produce a major shortage of poles. One approach to mitigating this shortage is to utilize lower
durability species and improve the penetration of preservatives into the refractory heartwood...
