Simulating tsunami propagation in fjords with long-wave models
Tsunamis induced by rock slides constitute a severe hazard towards coastal fjord communities. Fjords are narrow and rugged with steep slopes, and modeling the shortfrequency and high-amplitude tsunamis in this environment is demanding. In the present paper, our ability (and the lack thereof) to simulate tsunami propagation and run-up in fjords for typical wave characteristics of rock-slide-indu...
متن کاملReliability of trawl surveys on cod in Norwegian fjords
According to ICES, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, populations of coastal cod (CC) in Norway north of 628N have been declining since 1994. The estimates are based on analytical assessment in which the most recent estimates are tuned with survey information. We evaluate the quality of bottom-trawl surveys conducted in four North Norwegian fjords during autumn of the yea...
متن کاملFjords in viscous fingering: selection of width and opening angle.
Our experiments on viscous fingering of air into oil contained between closely spaced plates reveal two selection rules for the fjords of oil that separate fingers of air. (Fjords are the building blocks of solutions of the zero-surface-tension Laplacian growth equation.) Experiments in rectangular and circular geometries yield fjords with base widths lambda(c)/2, where lambda(c) is the most un...
متن کاملCharacteristics and dynamics of two major Greenland glacial fjords
The circulation regimes of two major outlet glacial fjords in southeastern Greenland, Sermilik Fjord (SF) and Kangerdlugssuaq Fjord (KF), are investigated using data collected in summer 2009. The two fjords show similar flow patterns, with a time-dependent, vertically sheared flow structure dominating over the background estuarine flow driven by buoyancy input. We show that this time-dependent ...
متن کاملCentenarian Hotspots in Denmark
Background: The study of regions with high prevalence of centenarians is motivated by a desire to find determinants of healthy ageing. While existing research has focused on selected candidate geographical regions, we explore the existence of hotspots in the whole the Denmark, which is a small and homogeneous country. Methods: We performed a Kulldorff spatial scan across the whole of Denmark, s...
