The objective is to investigate the physical processes that occur as a tropical cyclone interacts with the environment such that intensity and structure changes occur. Specific interactions being studied are with baroclinic environments in the midlatitudes during extratropical transition. During extratropical transition, radical changes to the storm structure occur as vertical wind shear and in...

Conditional slantwise instability (CSI) is observed to occur in saturated, statically stable atmospheres where the horizontal wind increases in magnitude and veers with height. A complete background on CSI may be found in the compendium by Schultz and Schumacher (1999). Numerous studies in the midlatitudes (e.g. Sanders and Bosart 1985, Moore and Blakely 1988, Weismueller and Zubrick 1998) have...

Recent results from a multiwavelength survey of spatially resolved outflows in nearby active galaxies are presented. Optical Fabry-Perot and long-slit spectroscopic data are combined with VLA and ROSAT images, when available, to probe the warm, relativistic and hot gas components involved in the outflow. The emphasis is put on objects which harbor wide-angle galactic-scale outflows but also sho...

[1] Climate dynamics during the marine isotope stage (MIS) 11 interglacial may provide information about how the climate system will evolve under the conditions of low‐amplitude orbital forcing that are also found during the late Holocene. New stable isotope and alkenone data are presented from southeast Atlantic Ocean Drilling Program Site 1085, providing detailed information on interglacial c...

The purpose of this article is to present the development of a wind farm, with a condition monitoring system (CMS) based on control charts as the algorithm, centred on a new index, to prevent soil pollution by oil spills in wind farms. To this end, temperature sensors can be considered as one of the more significant sensors to be employed in this study, because the information obtained with reg...

The West Coast of the United States experienced variable and sometimes highly unusual oceanographic conditions between 2012 and 2015. In particular, a warm mass of surface water known as the Pacific Warm Anomaly (popularly as "The Blob") impinged on southern California in 2014, and warm-water conditions remained during the 2015 El Niño. We examine how this oceanographic variability affected del...

We present a detailed analysis of the complex absorption apparent in the 2–6 keV X-ray spectrum of the bright nearby Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151. We first utilize the large bandpass and medium spectral resolution afforded by BeppoSAX data to construct a 1–100 keV spectral template, which assumes the absorption arises in both warm (i.e. partially photoionized) and cold gas present in the line of sig...
