Diapycnal mixing is an integral factor in the meridional overturning circulation of the ocean. The slow upwelling in the ocean interior across density surfaces requires counteracting diapycnal diffusion. Diapycnal diffusion in a stably stratified fluid requires mechanical energy and the availability of this energy might well be the controlling factor in setting the strength of the overturning c...

The objectives this year have been to model the features of a CZ which we observed in the PhilSea09 experiment. The data from this found very abrupt transitions and into the CZ’s and narrow widths for them. We note that not all CZ’s ”focus”, i.e. sharp edges as we observed in the Philippine Sea. This feature has been noted by Brekhovskikh and Munk where they noted that such zones tend to remain...

A scanner characterization method based on an analytic spectral model was derived. Themethod firstmodeled the spectral formation of eachmedium using either Beer-Bouguer Law or Kubelka-Munk theory. Scanner digital counts were then empirically related to dye concentrations. From these estimated dye concentrations, either spectral transmittance or spectral reflectance factor could be predicted. Th...

An algorithm is suggested for implementation of unlimited primaries in two-constants Kubelka-Munk color matching attempt. Allens method for tristimulus color matching which was limited to four colorants in two constant theory, dealt with inversable matrices. By application of the pseudo-inverse, it is not necessary to limit the number of primary colors to four as Allen suggested. The suggested ...

Different industries are usually faced with computer color matching as an important problem. The most famous formula which is commonly used for recipe prediction is based on Kubelka-Munk K-M theory. Considering that spectrophotometer’s geometry and its situation influence the measured spectral values, the performance of this method can be affected by the instrument. In the present study, three ...

Here we present the data on the energy-band-gap characteristics of composite nanoparticles produced by modification of the amorphous potassium polytitanate in aqueous solutions of different transition metal salts. Band gap characteristics are investigated using diffuse reflection spectra of the obtained powders. Calculated logarithmic derivative quantity of the Kubelka-Munk function reveals a p...
