Six different SST analyses are compared with each other and with buoy data for the period 2007–08. All analyses used different combinations of satellite data [for example, infrared Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and microwave Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer (AMSR) instruments] with different algorithms, spatial resolution, etc. The analyses...
Several efforts have recently been made to relate the displacement of swimming three-link systems over strokes to geometric quantities of the strokes. In doing so, they provide powerful, intuitive representations of the bounds on a system’s locomotion capabilities and the forms of its optimal strokes or gaits. While this approach...
Considerable effort is presently being devoted to producing high-resolution sea surface temperature (SST) analyses with a goal of spatial grid resolutions as low as 1 km. Because grid resolution is not the same as feature resolution, a method is needed to objectively determine the resolution capability and accuracy of SST...
Vegetation growing on the surface of a streambank has been shown to alter the shear stresses
applied to the boundary, but basic questions remain regarding the influence of vegetation and
streambank configurations on near-bank hydraulics. In the present study, Froude-scaled flume
experiments were used to investigate how changes in vegetation...

A general procedure is presented for calibrating a model
for rainfall erosivity based on daily rainfall. The approach
is based on probability distributions of wet-day
precipitation amount and monthly erosivities which are
inferred from published data summaries. The calibrated
model was tested by comparisons with erosivities
computed from hourly precipitation...
