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...

Sudden changes in local mean values demarcate geophysical regimes

Creator:: Howell, James F., 1965-
Abstract:: Sudden changes occur where the mean values associated with two adjacent non-overlapping windows of data are anomalously different, and the transition between the window means occurs over a scale that is small relative to the scale of the windows. Positions of sudden changes can be economically retrieved. The sudden change...

Estimation of the feedback parameters in a closed-loop system : a geophysical problem

Creator:: Cid, Luis Serrano
Abstract:: The presence of feedback in an inputoutput system associated with an oceanographic phenomenon is determined. A testing procedure to determine the presence of feedback is given. The ordinary transfer function model is determined not to be appropriate in modeling the system. The two and three stage least squares methods are...

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...

A sedimentary and geophysical investigation offshore of Sumatra : subduction zone earthquakes, ground motions, and submarine landslides

Creator:: Patton, Jason R.
Abstract:: Subduction zone earthquake and tsunami hazards affect tens of millions worldwide and the recurrence of these disasters can be evaluated with paleoseismic techniques, because earthquake cycles (and their supercycles) typically span many millennia. In these three chapters, I discuss a suite of analyses I use to evaluate the sedimentary record...

Modelling and analysis of geophysical turbulence : use of optimal transforms and basis sets

Creator:: Gamage, Nimal K. K.
Abstract:: The use of efficient basis functions to model and represent flows with internal sharp velocity gradients, such as shocks or eddy microfronts, are investigated. This is achieved by analysing artificial data, observed atmospheric turbulence data and by the use of a Burgers' equation based spectral model. The concept of an...

Boundaries of research : civilian leadership, military funding, and the international network surrounding the development of numerical weather prediction in the United States

Creator:: Harper, Kristine C.
Abstract:: American meteorology was synonymous with subjective weather forecasting in the early twentieth century. Controlled by the Weather Bureau and with no academic programs of its own, the few hundred extant meteorologists had no standing in the scientific community. Until the American Meteorological Society was founded in 1919, meteorologists had no...

New Insights on the Southern Ocean Carbon Cycle from Biogeochemical Argo Floats

Creator:: Williams, Nancy L.
Abstract:: The Southern Ocean plays an important role in the ocean’s uptake of heat and carbon yet the processes controlling this uptake are not well understood. To date, more than 100 biogeochemical profiling floats that measure water column pH, oxygen, nitrate, fluorescence, and backscattering at 10-day intervals have been deployed throughout...
