Ocean Waves Workshop 2015
The present study investigates the conspicuous shortcomings of the whitecapping dissipation model implemented in WAM Cycle 4.5 [1], following the lead of the work of [2] and [3]. Its dependence on an overall wave steepness unavoidably yields systematic errors when more than one wave system is propagating. The distinctive, complex orography of the Catalan littoral and the fact that the Mediterra...
متن کاملWaves in the Ocean
In this document we will discuss three types of waves: wind-driven waves, tides and tsunamis. When the wind blows on the surface of the ocean it produces ripples, waves, and swell. Gravitational forces (mostly from the moon and sun) plus centrifugal forces in the solar system produce tides. Tectonic forces such as earthquakes that cause vertical displacements of the ocean floor, submarine volca...
متن کاملWhere does a cohesive granular heap break?
In this paper, we consider the effect of cohesion on the stability of a granular heap and compute the maximum angle of stability of the heap as a function of the cohesion. We show that the stability is strongly affected by the dependence of the cohesion on the local pressure. In particular, this dependence is found to determine the localization of the failure plane. While for a constant adhesio...
متن کاملThe Deep Atlantic Ocean
The Atlantic Ocean is a long sinuous ocean which originated during the Mesozoic following the breakup of the supercontinent of Pangea. For most of its length, the eastern and western boundaries are clearly defined by land masses, except where it is separated from the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico by troughs and trenches. The northern and southern limits are more difficult to define. To the n...
متن کاملDeep ocean species discovered
As human languages are increasingly dying out, the discovery of a new one is striking. Nigel Williams reports. The UN's atlas of endangered languages lists around 230 that have become extinct during the past 60 years. And it is now widely agreed that around 3,000 languages worldwide are endangered and 200 are critically endangered with fewer than 10 speakers. Even in Europe, Karaim, in western ...
