Steady Response to Tropical Heating in Wavy Linear and Nonlinear Baroclinic Models

Linear vs. Nonlinear Neutralization of Baroclinic Flows

Linear Baroclinic Instability in Extended Regime Geostrophic Models

The linear wave and baroclinic instability properties of various geostrophic models valid when the Rossby number is small are investigated. The models are the ‘‘L1’’ dynamics, the ‘‘geostrophic potential vorticity’’ equations, and the more familiar quasigeostrophic and planetary geostrophic equations. Multilayer shallow water equations are used as a control. The goal is to determine whether the...

Response of the Tropical Atmosphere to Local, Steady Forcing

A theoretical analysis is made of the large-scale, stationary, zonally asymmetric motions that result from heating and the orographic effect in the tropical atmosphere. The release of latent heat dominates the sensible and radiational heating and the latter two effects are ignored. The first linear model is a continuous stratified atmosphere in solid westward rotation with no dissipation. Of al...

A Comparative Study Concerning Linear and Nonlinear Models to Determine Sugar Content in Sugar Beet by Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIR)

This paper reports on the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Partial Least Squareregression (PLS) combined with NIR spectroscopy (900-1700 nm) to design calibration models for thedetermination of sugar content in sugar beet. In this study a total of 80 samples were used as the calibration set,whereas 40 samples were used for prediction. Three pre-processing methods, including Multiplic...
