Impact of three different cyclones on the Bay of Bengal water and its surface chlorophyll concentration has been studied in three different zones during October-December 2000 using 24 scenes of IRS-P4 Ocean Color Monitor (OCM). The chlorophyll concentration found to be increasing up to 5.0 mg/m with effect of cyclones and hurricanes. The data has been correlated with Sea Surface Temperature (SS...

The effect of a possible hydrodynamical wind on the nature of hot accretion disk solutions is studied. It is found that the advection dominated branch, in the presence of a wind, maintains the self-similar solution for the disk structure with the temperature, θ ∝ 1/r, optical depth τ ∝ r and accretion rate ṁ ∝ r . Based on global solutions cooling due to wind energy loss and advection are found...

We investigate tropical cyclone wind and storm surge damage reduction for five areas along the Miami-Dade County coastline either by hardening buildings or by the hypothetical application of wind-wave pumps to modify storms. We calculate surge height and wind speed as functions of return period and sea surface temperature reduction by wind-wave pumps. We then estimate costs and economic losses ...

Changes in surface wind stress can have a strong influence on the ocean circulation and, hence, on climate. Our focus here is on variations of tropical winds and their impact on the global mean surface temperature (GMST) on time scales from months to decades. The smallness of Coriolis parameter near the equator implies that even small changes in the local winds can translate into large changes ...

abstract in general, garmesh wind in rasht province increases the temperature by 9°c and reduces relative humidity by 47%. the direction of prevailing wind during the garmesh wind is southern and its average speed increases by 2 m/s to 5 m/s. the highest frequency of garmesh wind occurs at 09 and 12 utc in december and january. the occurrence of this phenomenon substantially increases the horiz...

The excess microwave emissivity of the ocean surface due to winds at nadir incidence is derived from the TOPEX microwave radiometer and altimeter together with ocean surface data. The sensitivity of emissivity to wind speed is found to depend strongly on the air–sea temperature difference.
