Dynamic Meteorology and Hydrography

Meteorology and Agroforestry Meteorology and Agroforestry

The physical environment affects and interacts with agroforestry systems through tree and crop growth, animal performance, management operations and interactions between the tree/shrub and non-tree components (abbreviated to tree/crop interactions). Interactions take place mainly through the media of microclimate, soil moisture and soil. They may have beneficial or adverse effects, for tree and...

Dynamic Meteorology at the Photosphere of Hd 209458b

We calculate the meteorology of the close-in transiting extrasolar planet HD 209458b using a global, threedimensional atmospheric circulation model. Dynamics are driven by perpetual irradiation of one hemisphere of this tidally locked planet. The simulation predicts global temperature contrasts of ∼500 K at the photosphere and the development of a steady superrotating jet. The jet extends from ...

Chart Datum for Hydrography

This paper sets out to discuss ongoing activities in the tide and chart datum components of hydrography and charting. It expands on the paper presented at FIG (Fédération Internationale des Géomètres) in Brighton 1998 by Mr Matt Higgins and is a revised and updated version of the paper Chart Datum for Hydrography by GPS delivered by the present authors to the Survey 99 Congress, Sunshine Coast,...

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology

The temperature of the Earth is rising, and is highly likely to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The study of the effects of sustained heating on the ecosystems of theworld is necessary so thatwemight predict and respond to coming changes on both large and small spatial scales. To this end, ecosystem warming studies have been performed formore than 20 years using a variety ofmethod...
