Download or read book On Steady Wind driven Ocean Currents in a Stratified Model of Two Moving Layers written by Worth D. Nowlin and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered are steady, wind-driven currents in a two-layer model ocean, confined within a rectangular basin with a horizontal sea bed. The horizontal velocities are assumed independent of elevation within each layer of this finite difference approximation to the continuously stratified real ocean. Neglecting nonlinear field accelerations, a frictional model for the entire basin is formulated which allows for vertical, but not horizontal, transfer of horizontal momentum due to turbulence. The exchange of horizontal momentum between layers and to the sea bed is provided through the assumption of interlayer and bottom stresses, which are assumed proportional to the vertical contrast of horizontal velocity across the appropriate interface. The constants of proportionality, which are estimated from considerations of the observed circulation, play decisive roles in controlling the circulation patterns within each layer and the internal dissipation of energy from the steady organized flow. The solution, obtained for a purely zonal wind stress which varies latitudinally as a cosine, depicts an anticyclonic circulation within the lower layer which is intensified more to the west than is the anticyclonic gyre within the upper layer. Numerical calculations were performed for a range of physical parameters. ...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lakes and reservoirs hold about 90% of the world's surface fresh water, but overuse, water withdrawal and pollution of these bodies puts some one billion people at risk. The Encyclopedia of Lakes and Reservoirs reviews the physical, chemical and ecological characteristics of lakes and reservoirs, and describes their uses and environmental state trends in different parts of the world. Superbly illustrated throughout, it includes some 200 entries in a range of topics, including acidification, artificialisation, canals, climate change effects, dams, dew ponds, drainage, eutrofication, evaporation, fisheries, hydro-electric power, nutrients, organic pollution, paleolimnology, reservoir capacities and depths, sedimentation, water resources and more.
Download or read book Chemical Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems written by Frank A.P.C. Gobas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chemical Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems reviews the processes that control the distribution and impacts of chemical substances discharged into freshwater aquatic environments. The book focuses on the relationships between chemical emissions and the resulting ambient concentration in water, sediments, fish, benthos, plants, and other components of real aquatic ecosystems. Hydrodynamics, sediment dynamics, chemical fate processes, bioaccumulation, and food-chain transfer are major topics discussed in the book. Case studies and models are used to illustrate how quantitative predictions of chemical dynamics and behavior in the aquatic environment can be made. Chemical Dynamics in Freshwater Ecosystems is an excellent reference for aquatic toxicologists, wildlife toxicologists, wildlife biologists, environmental chemists, governmental regulators, environmental modelers, consultants, and students studying the effects of chemicals on aquatic environments.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this monograph is to present a state-of-the-art report on models of large-scale water circulations in lakes and seas. Specifically, this review is intended to provide the necessary background information for investigations of material transports and water quality problems in large natural basins. In view of the multidisciplinary nature of such studies, treatment of the present material starts from basic physical and mathematical principles.
Download or read book Physics of Currents in Oceans Seas and Lakes written by Shtchevev Victor Alekseevich and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of oceanographic branches of studies have been taught the theory of sea currents as currents related to wind or caused by heterogeneities of the density field of seawater. The author shows that more than 250 years ago, I. Kant hypothesized that the tidal forces of the Moon and the Sun form currents along the Equator, directed from the east to the west, which are strong enough to slow down the rotation of the Earth because of friction at the bed. Forty years ago, Agafonova E.G., Galerkin L.I., and Monin A.S. showed that thermohaline currents are so small that they cannot place any significant role in the sea dynamics. More than 70 years ago, Stockman V.B. showed that the dynamic method cannot be used to calculate currents in the Caspian Sea, they can be studied only with the use of hydrometric current meters. More than 50 years ago, E.G. Nikiforov showed that wind currents are wave transfer of wind waves. About 40 years ago, S.S. Lappo declared: "A wave stage has set in the studies of the nature of currents in the oceans." This book is intended for all who are interested in the processes taking place in reality.
Download or read book Ocean Currents written by Robert Marsh and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean Currents: Physical Drivers in a Changing World opens with a general introduction to the character, measurement, and simulation of ocean currents, leading to a physical and dynamical framework for understanding the wide variety of flows encountered in the oceans. The book comprises chapters covering distinct aspects of contrasting ocean currents: broad and slow, deep and shallow, narrow and swift, large scale and small scale, low latitudes and high latitudes, and moving in horizontal and vertical planes. Through this approach the authors cover a wide range of applications, from local to global, with considerable geographical context. - Provides analyses of ocean observations and numerical model simulations, highlighting the pathways and drift associated with ocean currents, around the World Ocean, linked to online exercises for instructors and students that extend this perspective - Presents applications to natural phenomena, showing how ocean currents shape marine ecosystems, helping researchers understand the distribution and adaptation of life in the oceans - Addresses societal challenges, specifically how ocean currents disperse pollutants (e.g. plastic) from coastal sources and how the global ocean circulation is central to our changing climate, helping students and researchers develop an interdisciplinary approach to global environmental change
