An Equatorial Mounting for Eclipse Observations

6 Equatorial Currents : Observations and Theory Ants

Historically, our knowledge of the circulation patterns in the tropics was derived from compilations of shipdrift data and so was restricted to a description of the surface currents. Although information of this type is crude, a picture of the spatial and temporal structure of the surface flow field was deduced over the years, and it has been little improved upon in the modern era of instrument...

An analysis of some observations of thermal comfort in an equatorial climate.

The analysis is introduced by a brief account of the development of work on thermal comfort. The observations, which are fully described in relation to the interior climates which were experienced, were made in Singapore in 1949-50. The climate of Singapore is typical of the equator, being warm, damp and windless; and the annual variation is almost negligible. Buildings are unheated, of an open...

Wolf - An Eclipse Plug-In for WADE

This paper describes WOLF, a development environment for WADE-based applications. WADE is a software platform, based on JADE, a popular Open Source framework, for the development of distributed applications based on the agent oriented paradigm and exploiting the workflow metaphor to define system logics. The main advantage of the workflow metaphor is the expressiveness of the workflow itself, s...
