In this paper we examine time-series measurements of near-surface chlorophyll concentration from a mooring that was deployed at 80.5E on the equator in the Indian Ocean in 2010. These data reveal at least six striking spikes in chlorophyll from October through December, at approximately 2-week intervals, that coincide with the development of the fall Wyrtki jets during the transition between th...

This paper aims to analyze the factors affecting user stickiness of online visual art platform by developing a Push-Pull-Mooring (PPM) framework from perspective experience. The study collected 332 valid responses through an questionnaire and tested research model using structural equation modeling. results show that push effects (convenience perceived security risk), pull (function experience,...

This study used a push–pull–mooring model (PPM model) to build an integrated explain the influencing factors of tourists’ switching intention wetland ecotourism after COVID-19 pandemic. The push effect is crowding perception, pull nature-based destination attractiveness, and mooring risk perception COVID-19. collected 551 valid research samples by questionnaire survey in two world-class wetland...

In situ time-series measurements of spectral diffuse downwelling irradiance from the Bermuda Testbed Mooring are presented. Averaged diffuse attenuation coefficients of downwelling irradiance, Kd,and their elastic and inelastic components are investigated at seven wavelengths. At shorter wavelengths (<510 nm), Kd is weakly dependent on the solar zenith angle owing to the prevailing scattering e...

'Ihree upward looking acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCP) were deployed beneath meteorological buoys in the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Mexico. during winter 1988-1989. Hourly averaged wind speed data from the buoys and from ship when in the vicinity were compared with surface acoustic backscatter intensity recorded at the ADCPs. The backscatter was found to be a significant predictor of wind sp...

Although the number of users has been growing exponentially in SNSs, some SNSs are facing a financial crisis and might be shut down in the near future. Therefore, understand users' incentives to switch to another SNS has great influence on operators' business performance. The study extended "Push-Pull-Mooring" migratory theory to explain the switching behaviors of users in SNS. Structural equat...

My objectives for this ONR project were first to develop an ocean model that can accurately simulate Arabian-Sea mixed-layer variability at diurnal through annual time scales, and then to diagnose the processes that account for this variability in its solutions. I particularly wished to be able to simulate and understand the mixed-layer-thickness record determined from the WHOI mooring data at ...
