We present a year-round assessment of the hydrographic variability within the East Greenland Coastal Current on the Greenland shelf from five synoptic crossings and 4 years of moored hydrographic data. From the five synoptic sections the current is observed as a robust, surface intensified flow with a total volume transport of 0.666 0.18 Sv and a freshwater transport of 426 12 mSv. The moorings...

We propose a new approach for analyzing multi-scale properties of the atmospheric flow that employs the recently introduced isentropic streamfunction and relies on its scale decomposition with Haar wavelets. We applied this method to a cloud resolving simulation of a planetary Walker Cell characterized by pronounced multi-scale flow. The resulting set of isentropic streamfunctions – obtained at...

A multiscale model of the MJO is developed here that accounts, in a simplified fashion, for both the upscale transfer from synoptic to planetary scales of momentum and temperature from wave trains of thermally driven equatorial synoptic-scale circulations in a moving convective envelope as well as direct mean heating on planetary scales. This model involves idealized thermally driven congestus ...

Fall-winter recurrence of current reversal from westward to eastward is identified on the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf using the current meter [Texas-Louisiana Shelf Physical Oceanography Program (LATEX-A)] and near surface drifting buoy [Surface Current and Lagrangian Drift Program (SCULP-1)] observations in 1993 and 1994. Reversal events roughly satisfy the Poisson distribution with one ...

Every patient with suspected or confirmed cancer requires accurate diagnosis and staging to guide treatment planning and to make informed patient care decisions. Physicians and surgeons have traditionally used narrative writing to report findings from investigative tests, surgical procedures and examination of tumour specimens. However, research has demonstrated that narrative reporting does no...

A one-layer, mid-latitudeJ beta-plane channel model of an incompressible homogeneous fluid is constructed to study the propagation of systematic errors on a nearly stationary synoptic scale wave. A timeand space-centered difference scheme is used to evaluate the governing primitive equations. Data fields resulting from height field perturbations injected at various locations in the synoptic wav...

Web-based synoptic reporting systems have been shown to improve efficiency, reduce turnaround time, and decrease reporting errors in reports of surgical pathology specimens and hematologic neoplasms and bone marrow. No such system has been previously described for the reporting of peripheral blood smears. We developed a Web-based synoptic reporting system composed of a knowledge base encompassi...

The probable maximum precipitation (PMP) is the greatest depth of precipitation for a given duration that is physically possible over a given size storm area at a particular geographical location at a certain time of the year. In this study a physically based method was compared with a statistical procedure to calculate PMP in the southwest arid regions of Iran. In order to estimate PMP using a...

A new challenge which the world will face in near future is the reduction of water resources regarding to global climate changes. Climate change is one of the phenomena which will threats future of the universe. Iran locates in an arid and semi-arid region and has limited water resources. Based on global and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) board database and the statistics of s...
