Gravitational Potential Energy Sinks in the Oceans
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is lost during convective adjustment. Using monthly mean climatological datasets, the annual mean GPE loss due to convective adjustment in the world oceans is estimated at 0.24 TW. Conversion from the mean-state GPE to eddies GPE and kinetic energy (KE) is also estimated, using the commonly accepted Gent-McWilliams scheme. Our estimate is that about 1.1TW is...
متن کاملThe gravitational collapse of a dust ball
It is shown that the description of collapse given by the classic model of Oppenheimer and Snyder fails to satisfy a crucial matching condition at the surface of the ball. After correcting the model so that the interior and exterior metrics match correctly, it is established that the contraction process stops at the Schwarzschild radius, that there is an accumulation of particles at the surface...
متن کاملGravitational Energy
Observers at rest in a stationary spacetime flat at infinity can measure small amounts of rest-mass+internal energies+kinetic energies+pressure energy in a small volume of fluid attached to a local inertial frame. The sum of these small amounts is the total “matter energy” EM for those observers. If Mc 2 is the total mass-energy, the difference Mc − EM is the binding gravitational energy. Misne...
متن کاملMultiple Round Random Ball Placement: Power of Second Chance
In a pioneering work, Gupta and Kumar [8] studied the critical transmission range needed for the connectivity of random wireless networks. Their result implies that, given a square region of √ n× √ n, the asymptotic number of random nodes (each with transmission range 1) needed to form a connected network is Θ(n lnn) with high probability. This result has been used as cornerstones in deriving a...
متن کاملResults of the NIST National Ball Plate Round Robin
This report examines the results of the ball plate round robin administered by NIST. The round robin was part of an effort to assess the current state of industry practices for measurements made using coordinate measuring machines. Measurements of a two-dimensional ball plate (240 mm by 240 mm) on 41 coordinate measuring machines were collected and analyzed. Typically, the deviations of the rep...
