Of Icebergs and Glaciers: The Submerged Constitution of American Healthcare
The United States is presently in the midst of a fractious and polyphonic debate about the future shape of its healthcare finance and delivery system. Spurred in significant part by the controversial passage of a major federal health insurance statute two years ago, this debate implicates foundational questions of government authority and constitutional limitation that have transcended the trad...
متن کاملCalving of large tabular icebergs from ice shelf rift systems
[1] We used Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar to study the detachment process that allowed two large icebergs to calve from the Ross Ice Shelf, Antarctica. Time series of rift geometries indicate that rift widths increased steadily, whereas rift lengths increased episodically through several discrete rift-tip propagation events. We also conducted modeling experiments constrained by the o...
متن کاملTracking large tabular icebergs using the SeaWinds Ku-band microwave scatterometer
Knowledge of iceberg locations is important for safety reasons as well as for understanding many geophysical and biological processes. Originally designed to measure wind speed and direction over the ocean, SeaWinds is a microwave scatterometer that operates at 13.4 GHz (Ku-band) on the QuikSCAT satellite. Radar measurements from SeaWinds are collected and processed on a daily basis using resol...
متن کاملOcean Currents Modeling along the Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea and the Northern Indian Ocean
The Makran Coast (Iranian Coastline of the Oman Sea on the Northern Indian Ocean) plays an important role in country’s future navigation and trade due to its accessibility. In 2014, the Iranian Makran coastline was selected by the PMO to be studied as the Phase 6 in the series of Monitoring and Modelling Studies of Iranian Coasts with all disciplines being in investigated including currents. Al...
متن کاملThe effect of dynamic-thermodynamic icebergs on the Southern Ocean climate in a three-dimensional model
Melting icebergs are a mobile source of fresh water as well as a sink of latent heat. In most global climate models, the spatio-temporal redistribution of fresh water and latent heat fl uxes related to icebergs is parameterized by an instantaneous more or less arbitrary fl ux distribution over some parts of the oceans. It is uncertain if such a parameterization provides a realistic representati...
