The simplest 3D extension of Housner's planar rocking model is a (wobbling) cylinder allowed to uplift and roll on its circumference, but constrained not out initial position. useful for the description bridges that use as seismic isolation technique, in an effort save material by reducing design moment size foundations. This paper shows describing wobbling motion terms displacements rather tha...

The RAPID array uses standard observational techniques — moored instruments that measure conductivity, temperature and pressure, as well as bottom pressure recorders — to measure density and pressure gradients across the North Atlantic, from which one can readily calculate the basin overturning circulation [1] and heat transport [2]. Although straightforward to implement, it is less obvious how...

Recent measurements of the strength of the Atlantic overturning circulation at 26∘N show a 1 year drop and partial recovery amid a gradual weakening. To examine the extent and impact of the slowdown on basin wide heat and freshwater transports for 2004–2012, a box model that assimilates hydrographic and satellite observations is used to estimate heat transport and freshwater convergence as resi...

[1] The distribution of radiocarbon during simulations of the Last Glacial Maximum with a coupled oceanatmosphere-sea ice model is compared with sediment core measurements from the equatorial Atlantic Ceara Rise, Blake Ridge, Caribbean Sea, and South China Sea. During these simulations we introduce a perturbation of North Atlantic freshwater fluxes leading to varying strengths of the Atlantic m...

Forklift overturning with its operator is the most common and dangerous type of an accident involving internal transport. The forklifts are equipped with safety components to avoid, or reduce the effects of forklift tip-over. However, there is very few information on the effectiveness of such systems. The aim of the research was to evaluate their effectiveness with the use of numerical simulati...

[1] An idealized general circulation model is constructed of the ocean’s deep circulation and CO2 system that explains some of the more puzzling features of glacial-interglacial CO2 cycles, including the tight correlation between atmospheric CO2 and Antarctic temperatures, the lead of Antarctic temperatures over CO2 at terminations, and the shift of the ocean’s dC minimum from the North Pacific...

The influence of ocean circulation changes on atmospheric CO2 hinges primarily on the ability to alter the ocean interior's respired nutrient inventory. Here we investigate the Atlantic overturning circulation at the Last Glacial Maximum and its impact on respired carbon storage using radiocarbon and stable carbon isotope data from the Brazil and Iberian Margins. The data demonstrate the existe...

Abstract Turbulent mixing across density surfaces transforms abyssal ocean waters into lighter and is vital to close the deepest branches of global overturning circulation. Over last 20 years, rates inferred from in situ microstructure profilers tracer release experiments (TREs) have provided valuable insights connection between small-scale large-scale Problematically, estimates based on TREs c...
