The sensitivity of long-term averaged air–sea fluxes calculated by a 3D atmospheric general circulation model to SST perturbations of an idealized spatial structure is investigated as a function of the SST perturbation amplitude, spatial scale, latitude, and season. This sensitivity is a dominant, yet largely unknown, parameter determining the stability and variability behavior of ocean-only mo...

In vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that somatostatin can influence motility and smooth muscle contractility of the stomach and colon. Recent studies have proposed that some of these effects may be mediated by somatostatin receptors (sst) directly on the smooth muscle cells. If this is correct, the sst receptor subtypes that are present are unknown. This study aimed to resolve these ...

in the present work, we report the synthesis of binary nano metal oxides such as zinc /copper oxide via novel dry synthetic methods such as thermal decomposition of oxalate precursor. the synthesis route involves facile solid-phase mechanochemical activation of a physical mixture of simple copper/zinc salts and oxalic acid, followed by calcination of the as-ground oxalate precursors at 450◦c. x...

Light-based archival tags are increasingly being used on free-ranging marine vertebrates to study their movements using geolocation estimates. These methods use algorithms that incorporate threshold light techniques to determine longitude and latitude. More recently, researchers have begun using sea surface temperature (SST) to determine latitude in temperate regions. The accuracy and applicati...

[1] A study of the uncertainties in infrared (IR) and microwave (MW) sea surface temperature (SST) retrievals by satellite is described here. The availability of both infrared (VIRS) and microwave (TMI) sensors on the Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) provided an opportunity to perform this detailed SST intercomparison from two distinct but colocated sensors. Infrared retrievals prov...

Global sea-surface temperatures (SST) from MODIS measured brightness temperatures generated using the regression methods, have been available to users for more than a decade, and are used extensively for a wide range of atmospheric and oceanic studies. However, as evidenced by a number of studies, there are indications that the retrieval quality and cloud detection are somewhat sub-optimal. To ...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report largely depends on simulations, predictions and projections by climate models1. Most models, however, have deficiencies and biases that raise large uncertainties in their products. Over the past several decades, a tremendous e ort has been made to improve model performance in the simulation of special regions and aspects of...

In one of the data mining techniques, change-point detection is of importance in evaluating time series measured in real world. For decades this technique has been developed as a nonlinear dynamics. We apply the method for detecting the change points, Singular Spectrum Transformation (SST), to the climate time series. To know where the structures of climate data sets change can reveal a climate...

We present a review of our previous ab initio calculations of Stark broadening parameters using semi-classical perturbation method for the calculation of Stark widths and shifts, and the SUPERSTRUCURE (SST) code for the determination of atomic structure. SST code takes into account the configuration interactions and relativistic effects. New results are also presented for some spectral lines of...

COSMIC GPS Radio occultation systems are developed for investigating global ionospheric and tropospheric features of atmosphere ionospheric effects are a major critical concern in radio communications and navigation systems. The predominant ionospheric effect is scintillation, which causes small scale fading in GNSS received signals. Hence, there is a necessity to understand the ionospheric mor...
