Linking age, survival and transit time distributions
Although the concepts of age, survival and transit time have been widely used in many fields, including population dynamics, chemical engineering, and hydrology, a comprehensive mathematical framework is still missing. Here we discuss several relationships among these quantities by starting from the evolution equation for the joint distribution of age and survival, from which the equations for ...
متن کاملIntermittent Turbulence in a Global Ocean Model
O ne of the hallmarks of turbulence is intermittent behavior, such as the sudden and unpredictable gusts of wind in the north of Scotland. Intermittency is related to the existence of intense and sparse coherent structures, as in atmospheric fronts, hurricanes, and tornadoes, and to small-scale vortex filaments in fully turbulent flows. Intermittent behavior has been observed in the ocean, but ...
متن کاملOn transit-time distributions in unsteady circulation models
In a diffusive geophysical flow, there is not a single timescale or unique pathway for passive scalar transport from the reservoir’s surface into the interior because of irreversible diffusive mixing processes. Instead, there is a range of pathways and hence a transit-time distribution (TTD) since last surface contact. We explore the issues that arise when considering TTDs for unsteady flows an...
متن کاملA Mathematical Model for Indian Ocean Circulation in Spherical Coordinate
In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews processes in which the IO is, or appears to be, actively involved. We begin the mathematical model with a pattern for summer monsoon winds. Three dimensional temperature and velocity fields are calculated analytically for the ocean forced by ...
متن کاملResponse time distributions for global name servers
Our earlier measurements of global name server performance concentrated on response time measurements. In this paper we examine the shape of response time distributions. These distributions often show clear evidence of multipathing behaviour. We also report on improvements to NeTraMet’s method of collecting data distributions.
