This paper compares the performance of topographic analysis and binary analysis for recognition of digits in hydrographic maps. Each of the methods processed the input image by extracting binary print components, recognizing long lines, splitting touching digits, and, finally, recognizing individual symbol candidates. The topographic analysis extracted the information by computing topographic l...

Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer (ALACE) floats are used to examine mean flow and eddy fluxes at 900-m depth in the Southern Ocean. Mean temperature and dynamic topography from float data are consistent with earlier estimates from hydrographic surveys, although floats imply warmer temperatures and narrower frontal structures than do atlas data. Differences between hydrographic and ALA...

abstract area-reduction method is one of the most common experimental methods that determines the sediment distribution in reservoirs. in this method, reservoirs are geometrically divided into four types. for all reservoir types, parameters are achieved based on a limited number of reservoirs which leads to large scale errors for prediction of this method. so suitable parameters can be achieved...

During winter 2003 and 2004, zooplankton and hydrographic data were collected in the northern parts of the Norwegian Sea (68–72 N, 8–17 E) west of the Norwegian shelf break at depths down to 1800 m. The results cover both inter and intra annual changes of hydrography and distribution of Calanus spp. For the whole survey area, average seawater temperature down to 1000 m was higher in 2004 than i...
