the future of contested strategic competitions in the indian ocean the indian ocean has received new attention in recent years because of its economic and strategic importance. the region is seen as a theatre for great power rivalries mainly between the united states, china, and india. in this regard, this paper assesses how the indian ocean region is coping with the challenges of global powers...

The ocean flows because it is forced by winds, tides and exchanges of heat and freshwater with the overlying atmosphere and cryosphere. To achieve a state where the defining properties of the ocean (such as its energy and momentum) do not continuously increase, some form of dissipation or damping is required to balance the forcing. The ocean circulation is thought to be forced primarily at the ...

An assessment on the scientific impact of random errors in wind direction (< 45°) retrieved from space-based observations under weak wind (< 7 m/s) conditions was made. Half of the winds over global oceans are below 7 m/s, in their long-term averages, and these weak winds cover most of the tropical, subtropical , and coastal oceans. Introduction of these errors in the semi-daily winds causes, o...

An ocean general circulation model of the tropical Atlantic Ocean is used to study the vertically integrated vorticity equation for the annual mean flow in the Atlantic North Equatorial Countercurrent (NECC). It is found that the nonlinear terms play an important role in the vorticity budget, in the western part of the basin. Sverdrup balance does not hold in the region of the North Brazil Curr...

The Great Australian Bight south of Australia is an important link for the flow of surface, intermediate and deep water between the Indian and Pacific Ocean. Carbon-14 is a tracer of this flow and for the first time, water samples for subsequent carbon-14 analysis were collected at several locations within the Bight. We report and discuss the observed carbon-14 distribution in relation to the g...

Health care is adrift in a sea of change. In order to navigate challenges, such as health care reform and meaningful use, new strategies are needed. This paper examines the application of health care informatics and leveraging of the electronic health record (EHR) as a strategic tool to impact documentation accuracy and charge capture outcomes in a large academic medical center’s surgical servi...
