[1] The GISS coupled model is used to investigate the sensitivity of sea ice to each of the following parameterizations: (1) two sea ice dynamics (CF: cavitating fluid; VP: viscousplastic), (2) the specification of oceanic isopycnal mixing coefficients in the Gent and McWillams isopyncal mixing (GM), and (3) the wajsowicz viscosity diffusion (WV). The large-scale sea ice properties are highly s...

This study analyzes methods of comparing SEA model results with experimental results for key traits. These qualitative traits provide the basis for correlation of model results with experimental results through the development of a comparison index. This paper formulates a comparison index and illustrates the application to SEA models. A customized data structure was designed around the compari...

the following questions were discussed in the round table, and the commission votes as follows: 459- with the supposition of the death of defendant after issuing absent vote and protesting by the heirs, if the protested verdict finally gets certain against the heirs, is it possible to apply article 2 of the execution of financial convictions’ law against the heirs? opinion of minority of votes ...

the dedicated satellite mission goce will sense various small mass variations along its path around the earth. here we study the effect of the earth’s topography and atmosphere on goce data. the effects depend on the magnitude of topographic height, and they will therefore vary by region. as the effect of the atmosphere and topography must be removed from the total gravity anomaly prior to geoi...

Abstract. Sea-level proxies for Marine Isotopic Stage 5e (MIS 5e, ca. 124 ka) are abundant along the Japanese shoreline and have been documented over at least past 60 years. The bulk of these sea-level identified in Japan as marine terraces, often correlated by stratigraphic relationships to tephra layers, or other chronologically interpreted strata. Use correlation conjunction with techniques ...

In spite of significant differences in their sizes, depths, salinity and other properties, the Aral Sea and the Dead Sea share many features, as illustrated by a comparison of the histories of both water bodies. Fifteenth and early sixteenth century maps, based on the ‘Geography’ of Ptolemy, contain both lakes. The first successful limnological surveys of the lakes were made in the same year 18...

by decreasing of sturgeon stocks in the caspian sea, the culture of different sturgeon species especially huso huso was increased in iran. under stress conditions sturgeon can easily be infected by several opportunistic pathogens. in june 2011, mortality happened in 25-28°c water temperature, in one of the most important cultured sturgeon farms in mazandaran province in the north of iran. the m...
