A numerical model was developed which predicts the dynamic
response of a single mooring line and a buoy of forty feet diameter
to sinusoidal waves, wind and current in all deep waters. All forces
and reactions were considered to be in one plane.
The basic equations for the mooring line...
The anchor-last mooring procedure is investigated in order to determine the transient forces in the mooring line and the velocities of the anchor. Transient forces were determined and the results showed that no severe snap loads occurred for the cases investigated. In addition, it was found that the vertical velocity...
Theoretical b:::-eaking criteria for progressive surface gravity waves
are examined, and laboratory and field experiments concerned with breaking waves are reviewed with respect to the testing of these breaking criteria.
The measurements of Komar and Simmons are presented here for the first
time. Only three theoretical breaking criteria have been...
Recent activity in the exploration and development of the ocean's
resources has created a need for scientific and technical knowledge in
many areas. One example is the need for rapid and reliable techniques
for ascertaining and for the predictions of sea state and the atmospheric
conditions at particular ocean locations....
Background:
Electrochemical approach to the assessment of acid-base states should provide a better mechanistic explanation of the metabolic component than methods that consider only pH and carbon dioxide.
Hypothesis/Objectives:
Simplified strong ion equation (SSIE), using published dog-specific values, would predict the measured serum pH of diseased dogs.
Animals:
Ten dogs,...
Deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) ratios in Earth’s hydrologic cycle have long served as important tracers of climate processes, yet the global HDO budget remains poorly constrained because of uncertainties in the isotopic compositions of continental evapotranspiration and runoff. Here bias-corrected satellite retrievals of HDO and H₂O concentrations from the Tropospheric...
