Dominant transport pathways in an atmospheric blocking event

Dominant transport pathways in an atmospheric blocking event.

A Lagrangian flow network is constructed for the atmospheric blocking of Eastern Europe and Western Russia in summer 2010. We compute the most probable paths followed by fluid particles, which reveal the Omega-block skeleton of the event. A hierarchy of sets of highly probable paths is introduced to describe transport pathways when the most probable path alone is not representative enough. Thes...

Enumeration of Dominant Solutions: An Application in Transport Network Design

A One-Dimensional Binary Integer Programming Problem (1DB-IPP) is concerned with selecting a subset from a set of k items in budget constraint to optimize an objective function. In this problem a dominant solution is defined as a feasible selection to which no further item could be added in budget constraint. This paper presents a simple algorithm for Enumeration of Dominant Solutions (EDS) and...

Statistical Character and Transport Pathways of Atmospheric Aerosols in Belgrade

Dominant pathways in protein folding.

We present a method to investigate the kinetics of protein folding and the dynamics underlying the formation of secondary and tertiary structures during the entire reaction. By writing the solution of the Fokker-Planck equation in terms of a path integral, we derive a Hamilton-Jacobi variational principle from which we are able to compute the most probable pathway of folding. The method is appl...

Influence of atmospheric circulation patterns on dust transport during Harmattan Period in West Africa

This study has used TOMS AI as well as the reanalysis dataset of thirty-four years (1979-2012) to investigate the influence of atmospheric circulation on dust transport during the Harmattan period in West Africa, using Aerosol Index (AI) data, obtained from various satellite sensors. Changes in Inter-Tropical Discontinuity (ITD), Sea Surface Temperature (SST) over the Gulf of Guinea, and North ...
