Gravity currents shoaling on a slope
Laboratory experiments are performed to examine gravity currents propagating into an ambient of uniformly decreasing depth. Predominantly, the study is of a surface gravity current shoaling over a bottom slope as it approaches a corner between the horizontal surface and the sloping topography. For sufficiently high Reynolds number currents, they are found to propagate at a constant speed over t...
متن کاملMatlab script for 3D visualizing geodata on a rotating globe
We present a Matlab package for visualizing global data on a 3D sphere, whose rotation can be animated. Planetary elevation data sets such as geoid height or Earth topography can easily be represented through a slightly exaggerated, coloured 3D relief, and then saved either as images or animations. All necessary parameters for the 3D visualization and animation are described and their usage dem...
متن کاملGeologic consequences of globe-encircling equatorial currents
Many black shales, phosphorites, and cherts that formed at low paleolatitudes on the North American continent during the late Paleozoic were a direct consequence of equatorial upwelling and an equatorial undercurrent in an ocean that spanned much of the globe. In equatorial parts of modern oceans, wind stress divergence leads to high surface productivity. Sinking organic matter is remineralized...
متن کاملCounter Rotating Currents Cryogenic Surface Coils
Introduction. Noise in MRI systems, in general, is created by conductive losses in the coil and in the body. When the coil loss is the governing source of noise (Rcoil>Rbody), it has long been recognized that cooling the coil reduces this noise contribution and therefore can significantly increase the SNR [1]. Such an SNR increase has been demonstrated by many groups with two-fold and higher SN...
متن کاملSurface currents and slope selection in crystal growth
We face the problem to determine the slope dependent current during the epitaxial growth process of a crystal surface. This current is proportional to δ = p+ − p−, where p± are the probabilities for an atom landing on a terrace to attach to the ascending (p+) or descending (p−) step. If the landing probability is spatially uniform, the current is also proportional to the average (signed) distan...
