f/sla from learner perspectives: a social activity or a cognitive process
in the past couple of decades sociocultural theory of sla and its implications in efl contexts have attracted attentions of research circles worldwide and aroused some controversies. firth and wagner (1997) have questioned the principles of the cognitive view which gives importance to mental constructs in favor of sociocultural view which highlights social and contextual constructs. but if soci...
15 صفحه اولMean zonal momentum balance in the upper and central equatorial Pacific Ocean
We examine the mean zonal momentum balance in the tropical mid-Pacific using a year of acoustic Doppler current profiler velocities and conductivitytemperature-depth profiler densities from the Hawaii-to-Tahiti Shuttle Experiment. All significant contributions from the mean, annual cycle, and higher-frequency flow fields are determined with the exception of the vertical stresses. We find that e...
متن کاملThe standard deviation of column ozone from the zonal mean
The standard deviation of column ozone from the zonal mean (COSDZ) provides a measure of the longitudinal inhomogeneity in ozone and dynamical wave activities in the atmosphere. Using the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) data, we obtain latitude-season maps of COSDZ that are representative of a dynamically quiet year (1987) and a dynamically active year (1992). The spatial and temporal p...
متن کاملZonal-Mean Dynamics of Extended Recoveries from Stratospheric Sudden Warmings
The recovery of theArctic polar vortex following stratospheric suddenwarmings is found to take upward of 3 months in a particular subset of cases, termed here polar-night jet oscillation (PJO) events. The anomalous zonal-mean circulation above the pole during this recovery is characterized by a persistently warm lower stratosphere, and above this a cold midstratosphere and anomalously high stra...
متن کاملTransformed Eulerian-mean theory. II: Potential vorticity homogenization, and the equilibrium of a wind- and buoyancy-driven zonal ow
The equilibrium of a modeled windand buoyancy-driven, baroclinically unstable, ow is analyzed using the transformed Eulerian-mean (TEM) approach described in Part I. Within the near-adiabatic interior of the ow, Ertel potential vorticity is homogenized along mean isopycnals, a nding readily explained using TEM theory, given the geometry of the domain. The equilibrium, zonal-mean buoyancy str...
