The adiabatic transit time of wave energy radiated by an Agulhas ring released in the South Atlantic Ocean to the North Atlantic Ocean is investigated in a two-layer ocean model. Of particular interest is the arrival time of baroclinic energy in the northern part of the Atlantic, because it is related to variations in the meridional overturning circulation. The influence of the Mid-Atlantic Rid...

We examine numerically the conversion of barotropic tidal energy into internal waves by flow over an isolated seamount and over systems of periodically and randomly distributed 1100 m tall seamounts with Gaussian profiles. The simulations use the Massachusetts Institute of Technology general circulation model (MITgcm) to calculate for an infinitely deep ocean the dependence of the energy conver...

climatological study of the mid-latitude storm tracks was investigated using the daily global forecast system (gfs) and the national centers for environmental prediction (ncep) reanalysis data sets from 1948 to 2008 winter seasons. in anomalous winter 2007-2008, decreasing of eddy kinetic energy along with the reduction of eddy available potential energy upstream of atlantic storm track are rel...

Manganese metal-organic framework (Mn-MOF) containing Mn2+ ions, benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC) and N,N-dimethylformamid (DMF) was prepared and used as catalyst for oxidation of alkenes such as 1,1-diphenylethylene, trans-stilbene, cyclohexene, norbornene, styrene and cyclooctene to epoxides with 33-92% conversion and 75-100% selectivity and oxidation of alkanes such as fluorene, adamantane, e...

A high resolution modeling study is undertaken, with a 2.5-dimensional nonhydrostatic model, of the generation of internal waves induced by tidal motion over the ridges in Luzon Strait. The model is forced by the barotropic tidal components K1, M2, and O1. These tidal components, along with the initial density field, were extracted from data and models. As the barotropic tide moves over the Luz...

2. Warm core systems are equivalently barotropic because the thickness and mass fields align as vertically-stacked structures. The resulting lack of thickness advection by the geostrophic wind prevents any conversion of zonal available potential energy (PM) to eddy available potential energy (PE) by the geostrophic wind thus precluding any quasigeostrophic baroclinic instability for warm core s...

Soluble forms of human betacellulin (BTC) were purified to homogeneity from the conditioned medium of mouse A9 cells transfected with the BTC precursor cDNA. Three types of soluble BTC, designated BTC-la, BTC-lb and BTC-2, were resolved by cation-exchange and size-exclusion column chromatography. Physicochemical analysis has revealed that BTC-la represents the glycosylated, intact molecule comp...

The Yermak Plateau (YP), located northwest of Svalbard in Fram Strait, is the final passage for the inflow of warm Atlantic Water into the Arctic Ocean. The region is characterized by the largest barotropic tidal velocities in the Arctic Ocean. Internal response to the tidal flow over this topographic feature locally contributes to mixing that removes heat from the Atlantic Water. Here, we inve...

zinc (ⅱ) tricarboxylate (zn-btc) with metal-organic framework (mof) has been synthesized for the first time under solvothermal conditions and has been tested as an adsorbent for methane and carbon dioxide at standard temperature and pressure. the adsorbent was characterized by means of x-ray diffraction(xrd), brunauer-emmet-teller (bet), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and scanning electron ...
