Geophysical phenomena of interest to geoscientists include both atmospheric and terrestrial related processes, which can be either static or dynamic. Characterization of such phenomena requires advanced models which often include scale invariance concepts of fractal or multi-fractal type. Recently, there has been much interdisciplinary interest in the application of geophysical processes. The a...

We investigate a nonlinear three-dimensional model for equatorial flows, finding exact solutions that capture the most relevant geophysical features: depth-dependent currents, poleward or equatorial surface drift and a vertical mixture of upward and downward motions. © 2017 Elsevier Inc.

The World Data Center for Geophysics in Boulder, Colorado is hosted by the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC). NGDC’s vision is to be the world's leading provider of geophysical and environmental data, information, and products. NGDC's mission is to provide long-term scientific data stewardship for geophysical data, ensuring quality, integrity, and accessibility. Faced with ever expanding ...

Over the last two decades, several advances have been made in the development and application of slim-hole geophysical sondes for use in groundwater, engineering, and environmental applications. This equipment is commonly used to provide qualitative (but detailed) estimates of grain size, sediment type, porosity, density, pore-water salinity, as well as bulk and shear moduli, to supplement geol...

My research efforts to date have combined both theoretical and observational aspects of geophysical fluid dynamics. Specific topics that I have investigated include: large-scale ocean dynamics and thermodynamics; geophysical waves and flow stability (spectral, formal, and nonlinear); Hamiltonian geophysical fluid dynamics; nonintegrable Hamiltonian dynamics; passive tracer transport and mixing ...

Error consistency analysis scheme for infrared ultraspectral sounding retrieval error budget estimation" (2013). NASA Publications. Paper 204. Great effort has been devoted towards validating geophysical parameters retrieved from ultraspectral infrared radiances obtained from satellite remote sensors. An error consistency analysis scheme (ECAS), utilizing fast radiative transfer model (RTM) for...

Most inverse problems in the industry (and particularly in geophysical exploration) are highly underdetermined because the number of model parameters too high to achieve accurate data predictions and because the sampling of the data space is scarce and incomplete; it is always affected by different kinds of noise. Additionally, the physics of the forward problem is a simplification of the reali...
