An approach to thermal convection problems in geophysics with application to the earth's mantle and ground water systems

Creator:: Lowell, Robert P.
Abstract:: Two thermal convection problems of geophysical interest are examined, theoretically. First, convection in the earth's mantle is treated on the basis of a one-dimensional 'strip model'. This model results from further simplification of the well known 'Rayleigh model'. For homogeneous, Newtonian fluids, the strip model yields results similar to those...

Equatorward jets and poleward undercurrents along the eastern boundary of the mid-latitude north Pacific

Creator:: Pierce, Stephen D.
Abstract:: We sharpen our view of an eastern boundary current region during the upwelling season through the analysis of several data sets. We focus on the mesoscale flow field off of northern California, observed during the Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) experiment of 1988. First, we estimate tidal currents in the region...

Modeled Larval Connectivity Patterns in two Coral Reef Regions : the Western Caribbean and the Kenyan-Tanzanian Shelf

Creator:: Mayorga Adame, Claudia Gabriela
Abstract:: Tropical coral reef ecosystems are very important from both the ecological and economical points of view. However, they are also particularly fragile, and have been declining in recent years in most regions of the world, since they are highly susceptible to anthropogenic stressors operating at global scales (e.g., global warming...

Dune erosion models and swash zone kinematics from remote video observations

Creator:: Palmsten, Margaret L.
Abstract:: The subaerial beach, composed of sand dunes and the foreshore, provides a natural buffer zone between vulnerable land and the dissipation of storm wave energy due to wave breaking. The natural beauty of this region is attractive to people, and as a result, significant investment has been placed in this...

Development of 2D models to estimate nearshore bathymetry and sediment transport

Creator:: Splinter, Kristen D.
Abstract:: We examine the interactions and feedbacks between bathymetry, waves, currents, and sediment transport. The ﬁrst two pro jects focus on the use of remote sensing techniques to expand our knowledge of the nearshore. Due to the plethora of snap-shot data that is available from satellites and their distribution via Google...

Modeling studies of the coastal circulation off northern California

Creator:: Pullen, Julie D.
Abstract:: By implementing a series of mass-conserving nested high-resolution models down to approximately 1 km resolution that have realistic bathymetry, coastline, wind forcing and river run-off, the winter 1996-1997 shelf flow near Cape Mendocino, California, is simulated and compared with available observations from the Strata Formation on Margins (STRATAFORM) marine geology...

Numerical and assimilative studies of the equatorial Pacific cold tongue

Creator:: Perez, Renellys Christine
Abstract:: Numerical model and assimilation experiments were conducted in the tropical Pacific Ocean to obtain a better understanding of the processes that control the cold tongue surface mixed layer temperature balance during August 1999 to July 2004. The numerical model was first applied to test two hypotheses (asymmetric background currents and...
