Observational Analysis of Extratropical Cyclone Interactions with Northeast Pacific Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies

Creator:: Phillips, Briana K.
Abstract:: In 2013, a large upper-ocean thermal anomaly formed in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) with sea surface temperatures (SSTs) warmer than 4 degrees Celsius above the climatological norm. This warm anomaly persisted for the next three years and has been linked to downstream effects on North American climate and negative...

Predicting the longshore-variable coastal response to hurricanes

Creator:: Stockdon, Hilary F.
Abstract:: The longshore variability of the coastal response to hurricanes may be examined within the framework of a storm-impact scaling model that compares spatially-variable beach morphology and fluid forcing. The relative elevations of dune height and storm-induced water levels are used to define three impact regimes (swash, collision, and overwash), within...

On the Dynamic Likelihood Approach to Data Assimilation for Stochastic Hyperbolic Geophysical Processes

Creator:: Foster, Dallas A.
Abstract:: Many geophysical phenomena exhibit complicated dynamics that, due to a variety of factors, diverge quickly from physical models. The arrival of new observations allows researchers to combine the model estimate with measurements in a statistical process called data assimilation to produce a revised estimate of the phenomenon. This assimilation of...

Ecosystem Photosynthesis and Forest-Atmosphere Interactions Inferred from Carbonyl Sulfide

Creator:: Rastogi, Bharat
Abstract:: An increase in anthropogenic activities since the industrial revolution, primarily due to burning of fossil fuels and changes in land cover, has resulted in a steady increase in the global mean atmospheric CO2 concentrations. While there is unequivocal scientific evidence on global warming and its multidimensional impacts on natural and...

Gravity-based non-invasive superconducting gravimeter system for reactor coolant inventory monitoring

Creator:: Danielson, Jordan J.
Abstract:: All nuclear reactors rely heavily on the use of level sensing instrumentation to detect the behaviour of liquid in vessels. The majority of level sensing instruments are differential pressure sensing meters, which are invasive and could be the failure source in the pressure boundary of the primary coolant system. In...

Intra-seasonal sea level variability along the west coast of India

Creator:: Dhage, Laxmikant
Abstract:: The importance of local versus distant forcing is studied for the wind driven intra- seasonal (30-120 day) sea level anomaly (SLA) variations along the west coast of India. Three locations on the continental slope are chosen to represent the west coast. Two more locations, one east of Sri-Lanka and another...

The Hanford Laboratories and the growth of environmental research in the Pacific Northwest, 1943 to 1965

Creator:: Ellis, D. Erik
Abstract:: The scientific endeavors that took place at Hanford Engineer Works, beginning in World War II and continuing thereafter, are often overlooked in the literature on the Manhattan Project, the Atomic Energy Commission, and in regional histories. To historians of science, Hanford is described as an industrial facility that illustrates the...

Structural Variations of Headwater Stream Food Webs Along Geophysical Gradients at the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

Creator:: Zatkos, Lauren E.
Abstract:: The structure of food webs and how they relate to community stability has been an important debate in ecology. Specifically, predictability of web shape and how it influenced by surrounding landscapes is one of the main goals of such discussions. Headwater streams provide a study template that is of interest...

John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

Creator:: Christensen, Terry M.
Abstract:: This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

Relationship between tropical Atlantic Sea surface temperature variability and southern Indian Ocean tropical cyclones

Creator:: DeBlander, Evan F.
Abstract:: Recent studies have found that equatorial Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST) variability may be influencing tropical Indian Ocean climate (Kucharski 2009, Wang 2009). Due to the economic and social impact of tropical cyclones, it is important to investigate how an Atlantic-Indian Ocean connection may be affecting tropical cyclone behavior in...
