Snow on Antarctic Sea Ice
Snow on Antarctic sea ice plays a complex and highly variable role in air-sea-ice interaction processes and the Earth’s climate system. Using data collected mostly during the past 10 years, this paper reviews the following topics: snow thickness and snow type and their geographical and seasonal variations; snow grain size, density, and salinity; frequency of occurrence of slush; thermal conduct...
متن کاملA Self-Organizing Map Based Navigation System
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have great advantages for activities in deep sea, and expected as the attractive tool. However, AUVs have various problems which should be solved. In this paper, the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) is applied as the clustering method for the navigation system. The SOM is known as one of the effective methods to extract the principle feature from many parameters a...
متن کاملAntarctic Sea ice--a habitat for extremophiles.
The pack ice of Earth's polar oceans appears to be frozen white desert, devoid of life. However, beneath the snow lies a unique habitat for a group of bacteria and microscopic plants and animals that are encased in an ice matrix at low temperatures and light levels, with the only liquid being pockets of concentrated brines. Survival in these conditions requires a complex suite of physiological ...
متن کاملNGTSOM: A Novel Data Clustering Algorithm Based on Game Theoretic and Self- Organizing Map
Identifying clusters is an important aspect of data analysis. This paper proposes a noveldata clustering algorithm to increase the clustering accuracy. A novel game theoretic self-organizingmap (NGTSOM ) and neural gas (NG) are used in combination with Competitive Hebbian Learning(CHL) to improve the quality of the map and provide a better vector quantization (VQ) for clusteringdata. Different ...
متن کاملAntarctic Sea Ice History, Late Quaternary
Sea ice results from the freezing of surface sea water. In the Southern Ocean, sea ice surrounds the Antarctic continent and it today covers 20 × 10 km in winter and only 4 × 10 km in summer (Gloersen et al., 1992). This pronounced seasonal cycle strongly affects the climate of the Southern Hemisphere through its impacts on the energy and gas budget, on the atmospheric circulation, on the hydro...
