An 18-vertical level primitive equation general circulation model was developed from previous models of the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in order to study t,he lower stratosphere in detail. The altitude range covered was from the surface to 4 mb. (37.5 km.), the vertical resolution being optimized in the tropopause region to permit a more accurate calculation of the vertical transport ...

SINCE 1946 a meeting has been held monthly in the Royal Maternity Hospital, Belfast, during the months September to June. It has been attended by the staff of both maternity hospitals and by representatives from the Department of Pathology, the Ministry of Health, and the City Borough Healthi Department. At this meeting the monthly statistical reports for the Jubilee Maternity Hospital and the ...

in this paper, we present an application of evolved neural networks using a real coded genetic algorithm for simulations of monthly groundwater levels in a coastal aquifer located in the shabestar plain, iran. after initializing the model with groundwater elevations observed at a given time, the developed hybrid genetic algorithm-back propagation (ga-bp) should be able to reproduce groundwater ...

Abstract. A historical dataset of river chemistry and discharge is presented for 140 monitoring sites along the US East Coast, Gulf Mexico, West Coast from 1950 to 2022. The dataset, referred here as River Chemistry U.S. (RC4USCoast), mostly derived Water Quality Database Geological Survey (USGS) but also includes USGS's Surface-Water Monthly Statistics Nation Army Corps Engineers. RC4USCoast p...

In the last in our three-part series on myopia, Catherine Viner considers the assessment and correction of myopia in practice. Module C15569, one general point for optometrists and DOs Part 3: Assessment and correction T he predominant symptom in uncorrected (or undercorrected) myopia is blurred distance vision.1-3 It is suggested that because this symptom is so readily apparent, myopes account...

Following a study of large-scale atmospheric and oceanic interactions associated with the recent Northeast drought, smaller-scale manifestations of this drought are studied with the help of records from New York Central Park Observatory. The long-period records of this Observatory (since 1869) are then studied statistically in relation to dry periods. Among the most interesting facts brought ou...
