Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scientific Papers, Vol. 1: Oceanic Tides and Lunar Disturbance of Gravity This first volume contains papers on Oceanic Tides and on an attempt to measure the Lunar Disturbance of Gravity; the second will give my papers on Tidal Friction and on the astronomical speculations arising therefrom; the third will be devoted to papers on Figures of Equilibrium of Rotating Liquid and on cognate subjects; and the fourth will be on Periodic Orbits and on various miscellaneous subjects. Throughout corrections and additions will be marked by inclusion in square parentheses. The whole of my work on oceanic tides and the attempt made by my brother Horace and me to measure the attraction of the moon sprang from ideas initiated by Lord Kelvin, and I should wish to regard this present volume as being, in a special sense, a tribute to him. Early in my scientific career it was my good fortune to be brought into close personal relationship with Lord Kelvin. Many visits to Glasgow and to Largs have taught me to look up to him as my master, and I cannot find words to express how much I owe to his friendship and to his inspiration. The following statement gives in a few words an explanation of how the several investigations originated, and how they are connected together.

Download or read book The Scientific Papers of Sir George Darwin written by George Howard Darwin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-20 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir George Darwin (1845-1912) was the second son and fifth child of Charles Darwin. After studying mathematics at Cambridge he read for the Bar, but soon returned to science and to Cambridge, where in 1883 he was appointed Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy. His family home is now the location of Darwin College. His work was concerned primarily with the effect of the sun and moon on tidal forces on Earth, and with the theoretical cosmogony which evolved from practical observation: he formulated the fission theory of the formation of the moon (that the moon was formed from still-molten matter pulled away from the Earth by solar tides). He also developed a theory of evolution for the Sun-Earth-Moon system based on mathematical analysis in geophysical theory. This volume of his collected papers covers oceanic tides and lunar disturbances of gravity.

Book excerpt: Finally, someone has written a comprehensive, easily readable explanation of the tides on earth that is both simple enough for students and solid enough for their professors. Step by step, by analogy and illustration, Beyond the Moon describes how the cyclical motion of the near solar system is impressed upon the earth's oceans, and how the hydraulics over the continental shelf and the geography of the coastline orchestrate this rhythm into the bewildering variety of tide patterns seen around the globe. This volume demystifies the complexity of the tides by systematically examining its many constituents and demonstrates that: "Nature is, at once, awesome in complexity and beautiful in simplicity." Contents: The Tides in History. The Challenge of Understanding the Tides on Earth; The Lunar Orbit; Solar Influences and Solar-Lunar Interaction. Gravitation and Tractal Forces; Celestial Harmonics; The Coriolis Force and Oceanic Amphidromes. Coastal Kelvin Waves. Tidal Currents. Sea Level; The Seiche Effect and Basins of Oscillation. Tidal Intermixing; Coastal Geography and Near Shore Topography, Resonant Co-Oscillation and Sustained Forcing; Shallow Estuaries and Tidal Pumping. Tidal Bores; The Computation of the Tide-Tables. Chaos Theory; The Weather and the Tides. Atmospheric Tides; Tidal Influence on Marine Biology. The Tides and Saltwater Fishing. Practical Tide-Table Information for Coastal Boaters; The Constituents of the Tides on Earth. Synopsis of Tidal Influences; Epilogue; Definitions. Key Features A thoroughly referenced science book with a conversational style Includes every significant influence on the tides on earth Explains in detail how NOAA calculates the tide tables Debunks the many popular myths about the tides Ranges from chaos theory to saltwater fishing Brings clarity and depth to this challenging aspect of physical oceanography Readership: Undergraduate oceanography students and secondary science students, as well as their teachers. The general public with an interest in science and nature. Coastal boaters, sailors, yachtsmen, and fishermen.

This book was released on 2020-10-26 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polar motion is an important geophysical process, and difficult to understand given the various parameters involved. But it is of key importance to our climate and climate change. Understanding and modeling also has implications on key technologies such as space geodesy and satellite navigation. Additionally, long term polar motion has close links to decadal climate change and ice cap development. It also reflects the global circulation in the hydro-atmospheric layers and the internal properties of the Earth. Therefore the topic is of primary interest for geophysics as well as climatology.
