Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2003 in the subject Physics - Applied physics, grade: None, Mahatma Gandhi University (Space Physics Laboratory - Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Thiruvananthrapuram - 695 022), course: Atmospheric Sciences, language: English, abstract: The Atmospheric Boundary Layer (ABL) over the oceanic surface is commonly referred to as the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer (MABL) and it can be considered as the turbulent region in the immediate vicinity of the oceanic surface. The major features that distinguish the ABL over ocean from its land counterpart are the wet, mobile, lower boundary in addition to certain ocean-specific thermodynamic and dynamic characteristics. The structure and characteristics of the MABL and its interactions with the oceanic surface and the overlying free atmosphere are known mainly as a result of a synergistic combination of observational studies, numerical and laboratory simulations, and dimensional analysis. Our present knowledge and understanding of the MABL over various oceanic regions of the globe comes from the experience and expertise acquired during various field experiments. The present thesis aims at improving our understanding of the structural characteristics of the MABL and its associated dynamics over the data-sparse region of western tropical Indian Ocean by making use of the meteorological data collected onboard Oceanic Research Vessel (ORV) Sagar Kanya and Kaashidhoo Climate Observatory (KCO) during the Intensive Field Phase (IFP-99) of the Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX).

This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Observations from aircraft, an island station, and two research vessels are used to investigate the development of an elevated mixed layer or land plume over the Arabian sea during the Indian Ocean Experiment Intensive Field Phase 1999 (INDOEX) through air mass modification. Much of the transport of aerosols and gases occur in this plume located above a well-mixed convective marine boundary layer with a depth of 800 - 1000 m. The depth of the land plume is approximately 2000 m with the peak ozone concentrations occurring near the center of this land plume. Significant latitudinal variations in the concentration of ozone occur in the marine boundary layer and in the plume. Mean ozone concentrations in the land plume decreased with distance from the Indian coastline. The horizontal extent of the sea breeze circulation over the Arabian Sea during the Indian Ocean Experiment (1999) is investigated. Profiler data from Bombay, Goa, and Trivandrum, India show a diurnal variation in wind direction caused by land and sea breeze circulations along the west coast of India. Wind profiles taken 130 km from the west coast of India from R/V Sagar Kanya show a change in wind direction particularly at 200 to 300 m caused by the sea and land breeze circulations. Infrared satellite images show the furthest extent of the sea breeze circulation over the Arabian Sea to be around 200 km. Constant level balloons also showed the extent of the sea breeze over the ocean to be 200 km. A mesoscale numerical model was used to further investigate the horizontal extent of the sea breeze over the ocean. Simulated cross sections along the west coast of India show the horizontal extent of the afternoon sea breeze over the ocean to vary from around 130 to 200 km. Vertical velocities of around 0.20 ms-1 were produced inland as the sea breeze interacted with the mountains along India's west coast. The development and propagation of a 'pollution gradient' over the Arabian Sea during the Intensive Field P.

This book was released on 2011-09-13 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2008 in the subject Physics - Astronomy, University of Kerala (Space Physics Laboratory, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre - Indian Space Research Organization, Dept. of Space, Govt. of INdia), course: Physics - Atmospheric Sciences, language: English, abstract: Troposphere is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. The prime objective of this study is the characterization of various atmospheric processes ranging from a few kilometers to a few hundreds of kilometers taking place within this layer over the southern part of Indian sub-continent with the aid of numerical atmospheric models and observational data. With a view to broadening our understanding on some of the interesting atmospheric events such as Sea/Land Breeze Circulation (SLBC), Mountain Waves, and Thunderstorms, hitherto not attempted very much in an analytical and quantitative sense by many researchers the world over, the contents of this thesis titled “Studies on Lower Atmospheric Processes over South India using Numerical Atmospheric Models and Experiments” are organized into seven chapters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Satellite remote sensing, in particular by radar altimetry, is a crucial technique for observations of the ocean surface and of many aspects of land surfaces, and of paramount importance for climate and environmental studies. This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the satellite altimetry techniques and related missions, and reviews the most-up-to date applications to ocean dynamics and sea level. It also discusses related space-based observations of the ocean surface and of the marine geoid, as well as applications of satellite altimetry to the cryosphere and land surface waters; operational oceanography and its applications to navigation, fishing and defense.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Oata Analysis and Synthesis (CINOAS) * at Purdue. University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 33 (thesis year 1988) a total of 13,273 theses titles from 23 Canadian and 1 85 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 33 reports theses submitted in 1988, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
