The New Wave of Capital Inflows: Sea Change or Tide?

Monitoring sea level change at Cascais tide gauge

Sea level change (SLC) real-time monitoring has being developed and improved for the Portuguese tide gauge, based in FTP access to the internet server of the Portuguese geographical institute. A software application, named MareVB and in development since 2008, gets a 3 minute stream input of sea level height and a 10 minute stream input of air-pressure. Based on a predicted tide model, the sea ...

the effect of taftan pozzolan on the compressive strength of concrete in the environmental conditions of oman sea (chabahar port)

cement is an essential ingredient in the concrete buildings. for production of cement considerable amount of fossil fuel and electrical energy is consumed. on the other hand for generating one tone of portland cement, nearly one ton of carbon dioxide is released. it shows that 7 percent of the total released carbon dioxide in the world relates to the cement industry. considering ecological issu...

Sea Level Change in Hong Kong from Tide Gauge Records

The results from the study indicate that there is a rising trend of 1.9±0.4 mm per year in the sea level of Hong Kong. The effect of local atmospheric pressure variations on the amplitude of the annual sea level change is about 30% of the amplitude. It is also found that the interannual variations in the sea level of Hong Kong are related to El Nino and La Nina events that occur frequently in t...

Wave Hindcast Study of the Caspian Sea

The significant effect of waves on coastal and marine activities urges the precise identification of wave characteristics using field measurements, theoretical studies, physical modeling or numerical simulations. In order to study thoroughly the wave climate in the Caspian Sea, a wave modeling and hindcast project was performed by Iranian National Center for Oceanography. In this study, one of ...
