Iraq is facing a water shortage due to scarcity and anthropogenic activities. The recent advance in technologies geophysical methods has made groundwater monitoring possible. Time-variable gravity data outputs of the climatic model, as well rainfall data, are integrated investigate spatio-temporal mass variations caused by changes over Iraq. findings are: (1) For entire study period (04/2002–12...

in common classical methods of cavity depth estimation through microgravity data, usually when a pre-geometrical model is considered for the cavity shape, the simple geometrical models of sphere, vertical cylinder and horizontal cylinder are commonly used. it is obviously an important fact that in real conditions the shapes of the cavities are not exactly sphere, horizontal cylinder or vertical...

Using measurements of time-variable gravity from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites, we determined mass variations of the Antarctic ice sheet during 2002-2005. We found that the mass of the ice sheet decreased significantly, at a rate of 152 +/- 80 cubic kilometers of ice per year, which is equivalent to 0.4 +/- 0.2 millimeters of global sea-level rise per year. Most of this...

Abstract. The problem of Rayleigh–Bénard convection with internal heat sources and a variable gravity field is treated. For the case of stress-free boundary conditions, it is proved that the principle of exchange of stabilities holds as long as the product of gravity field and the integral of the heat sources is nonnegative throughout the layer. The proof is based on the idea of a positive oper...

Rayleigh-Bénard convection with internal heat sources and a variable gravity field is treated with no-slip boundary conditions. It is proved that the principle of exchange of stabilities holds at all Prandtl numbers, as long as the gravity field and the integral of the heat sources both have the same sign. The proof is based on the idea of a positive operator, and uses the positivity properties...
