Suspended sediment concentration (SSC) has a significant impact on the estuarine environment and its morphological evolution. At any given location, the temporal variability of depth-averaged SSC is due to a combination of two processes: horizontal advection and local resuspension. In this study, we investigated the sediment dynamics at three anchored monitoring stations close to the maximum turbidity zone of the Changjiang Estuary, and developed a box model to differentiate the effects of...

Natural decay of pollutants is rarely consider in mass transport equation. This paper develops a mathematical model of a filter based on iron oxide coated sand for the removal of chromium in groundwater and surface water. The natural decay of chromium was analyzed using a zero order decay reaction. The advection dispersion equation for this purpose is solved analytically using the Laplace transform method and numerically by the Fourth order Runge kutta method to determine the spatio-temporal...

Potential vorticity and jet streak properties associated with 23 explosive and non-explosive cyclones from the western North Atlantic and western North Pacific Oceans are analyzed for the period 17 January to 23 February 1979. ECMWF analyses with FGGE data are used to represent the 300 mb wind fields over these ocean areas. Relative maxima in potential vorticity are present upstream of all cyclones. Storm tracks with respect to the potential vorticity maxima are counter-clockwise with the...

The purpose of this research was to investigate the effect of tidal - period internal wave vertical motion on oceanic mixed layer dynamics, and to discern the effect upon the diurnal evolution of thermoclines, as observed during MILE (mixed layer experiment). Vertical advection was added to a one-dimensional bulk model of the mixed layer with an assumed linear in z and sinusoidal in time dependence. The rate of mixed layer deepening was therefore due to the combination of vertical mction and...

The response of the seasonal thermocline formation and mixing to prescribed vertical interior motion is examined. For the annual and shorter period interior motion cases studied, the response was strongest for the annual period. For an oscillatory vertical motion having a 15 m amplitude at a 75 m depth, warm sea surface temperature anomalies of up to 2.16 C and cold anomalies of up to 2.04 C are found, depending on the phase difference between the interior motion and the annual heat cycle. The...

The aim of this proposal was to analyse a set of charge-coupled device images of the Jupiter-impacting comet D/Shoemaker-Levy 9. The images were obtained primarily using the University of Hawaii 2.2-m telescope and a standardized imaging device, providing an unusually uniform set of data. Additional data included a set of spectra taken in search of gaseous emission from SL9 using the UH 2.2-m and Keck 10-m telescopes.

In this study, a laboratory soil column experiment was carried out for estimating the dispersivity (?) in sandy loam soil by the inversion of the Advection-Dispersion Equation. An 89 cm deep and 15 cm diameter cylindrical column was filled with sandy loam soil in such a way that the bulk density of the soil in field condition was strictly satisfied in the column. Potassium bromide was used as the conservative tracer in the study. The tracer concentration was allowed to pass through the column...

Previous experimental investigations have shown that the characteristics of flow about a circular cylinder immersed in a time-dependent flow exhibit cycle-to-cycle variations. These variations have been attributed to the variations in the spanwise coherence, aspect ratio, nonuniformity of the flow, and random disturbances in the ambient flow. A theoretical investigation was undertaken to examine the stability of the flow characteristics in terms of the initial state of the vortices. An...

A layer-ocean model was developed based on the mixed layer models of Kraus and Turner (1967) and Denman (1972). The ocean model was coupled to Pearson's (1972) time varying, symmetrical-stationary hurricane model which was based on a model proposed by Riehl (1963), and in which the air-sea interaction was specified by Cardone's (1969) extension of Blackadar's (1965) two-layer, baroclinic boundary-layer model. Time-dependent solutions for ocean mixed layer depth and temperature were obtained in...

This paper presents a relatively simple method for producing a 24-hour prognostic 500-mb chart by graphical means. It modifies the Fjortoft graphical method by incorporating a technique to include the intensification and weakening of systems. That is, is uses factors which allow intensification of poleward-moving cyclones and weakening of equatorward-moving cyclones and the converse for anticyclones. The theoretical development of the so-called \"geostrophic model\" used, the research...

This method is investigated for semi-infinite multiple-slab configurations of arbitrary width, composition, and source distribution. Isotropic scattering in the laboratory system is assumed. Isotropic scattering implies that the fraction of neutrons scattered in the i(sup th) volume element or subregion that will make their next collision in the j(sup th) volume element or subregion is the same for all collisions. These so-called ''transfer probabilities'' between subregions are calculated and...

The aim of this paper is to report extreme winter/early-spring air temperature (hereinafter temperature) anomalies in mid-latitude Europe, and to discuss the underlying forcing to these interannual fluctuations. Warm advection from the North Atlantic in late winter controls the surface-air temperature, as indicated by the substantial correlation between the speed of the surface southwesterlies over the eastern North Atlantic (quantified by a specific Index Ina) and the 2-meter level air...

Abstract — Stochastic advection diffusion equation (SADE) with multiplicative stochastic input is a practical mathematical model for different physical phenomena. In this paper, SADE will be studied using two spectral stochastic techniques. The first is the Wiener chaos expansion (WCE) technique and the second is the Wiener-Hermite expansion with perturbation (WHEP) technique. These techniques convert the SADE into a system of deterministic partial differential equation (DPDE) that can be...

High surface winds over California and the bordering Pacific Ocean resulted in the death of one man and the loss of power to approximately 50,000 residences across the state. These damaging winds are hypothesized to result from an upper level front and associated tropopause folding that rapidly intensify as they move south across the region, causing high momentum air to be transported to the lower troposphere. Once the high momentum air reaches the top of the planetary boundary layer, the...

We have two major goals. The first is to improve our capabilities and scientific knowledge concerning Lagrangian predictability in the ocean. Specific applications include search and rescue operations, the design of float and drifter experiments, and the understanding of stirring mechanisms. The second goal is to develop methods allowing the assessment of the underlying dynamics and predictability of complex physical systems in the ocean based solely on the analysis of time-series.

The cross-shore exchange of material is examined on beaches of varying morphology and hydrodynamics. On a dissipative, rip-channeled beach in Monterey, California, field measurements of the rip current vertical structure reveal depth-uniform flows inside the surf zone, and surface-dominated flows with rotation over depth outside the surf zone. Aperiodic, very low frequency pulsations in the near-surface velocity were found to control the mean rip current flow. Observations of Lagrangian surface...

In this paper, spatially high-order Residual-Distribution (RD) schemes using the first-order hyperbolic system method are proposed for general time-dependent advection-diffusion problems. The corresponding second-order time-dependent hyperbolic advection-diffusion scheme was first introduced in [NASA/TM-2014-218175, 2014], where rapid convergences over each physical time step, with typically less than five Newton iterations, were shown. In that method, the time-dependent hyperbolic...

One major issue in the accurate solution of convection-dominated problems by means of high-order methods is the ability of the solver to maintain monotonicity. This problem is critical for spectral elements, where Gibbs oscillations may pollute the solution. However, typical filter-based stabilization techniques used with spectral elements are not monotone. In this paper, residual-based stabilization methods originally derived for finite elements are constructed and applied to high-order...

The ocean model was based on the upwelling model of O'Brien and Hurlburt (1972) in two dimensions and was located along the path of the storm. The momentum and...

Our ultimate goal is to understand the dynamics of strong, narrow ocean currents that persist for hundreds or thousands of kilometers, despite being in contact with the (frictional) bottom. Our immediate objective is to understand how vertical mixing and advection within the bottom boundary layer influence the three-dimensional structure, evolution, and dynamics of both the bottom boundary layer and the overlying (interior) flow.

Phytoplankton cells are small with dimensions up to a few hundred microns.

In addition most plankton cells are slightly heavier than water and are...
