The North Atlantic heat budget: an Argo based study
… Argo dataset is used to obtain estimates of the heat storage and heat divergence with<br/>the aim of the assessing the usefulness of the Argo array for investigating the North<br/>Atlantic heat budget. The accuracy of the Argo-based mixed layer heat storage varies<br/>significantly throughout the …

Impact of an artifical circulation device on the heat budget of an ice-covered mid-latitude lake
… the impact of artificial circulation on the heat budget of a small mid-latitude ice-covered lake. The heat transfer algorithm developed by Patterson & Hamblin (1988) for high latitude lakes was extended to include the impacts of snowmelt due to rain, sediment heat transfer, snow-ice …

Mass, heat, oxygen and nutrient fluxes at 30°S and their implications for the Pacific-Indian through flow and the global heat budget
… Archipelago and the net global oceanic heat flux at 30°S. Using a model which combines the data for the South Pacific and South Indian Oceans, it is found that even the largest existing estimates of Indonesian Passage through flow (20 Sv) are consistent with the data. However, the …

Hydrologic Characteristics of Summer Stream Temperatures in Little Creek and Scotts Creek at the Swanton Pacific Ranch
… to identify the risk of downstream temperature heating based on the summer low flow residence times, stream morphological characteristics, stream water storage, and heat budget exchanges. Stream temperature, hydrologic, climatic, and channel morphological data were collected on two, …

The upper ocean response to the monsoon in the Arabian Sea
Estimation of the upper ocean heat budget from one year of observations at a moored array in the north central Arabian Sea shows a rough balance between the horizontal advection and time change in heat when the one-dimensional balance between the surface heat flux and oceanic heat content breaks …

A Quasi-Thermal-Mechanical-Biological Model of the Ste-Sophie, QC Landfill
… depth and time in the waste profile. An aerobic heat generation model was proposed that related the aerobic heat generation rate to the oxygen concentration measured near the surface. An anaerobic heat generation model presented in the literature was included in the model. The heat generation …

Wintertime convection and frontal interleaving in the Southern Ocean
… ocean-atmosphere system because large planetary heat losses are believed to occur at high latitudes. The ocean and atmosphere must transport heat poleward to balance these losses. In the Southern Hemisphere, the oceanic contribution to this flux involves a southward transport of heat across the …

High-temperature metamorphism in the western Namaqua-Natal Metamorphic Province (South Africa): implications for low-pressure granulite terranes
… these, temperature is regarded as proxy for the heat energy available during orogenic metamorphism. Heat - the ultimate driving force of metamorphism - is consumed by a number of processes occurring during orogeny. Metamorphic rocks evolve through chemical reactions that consume energy in order …

Seasonal Variability of Heat and Mass Transport Process in the Upper Tropical Atlantic Ocean: A Numerical Model Study
… used to illustrate the seasonal variability of heat and mass transports in the upper tropical Atlantic Ocean, associated with the seasonal movement of the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The model ocean was forced by seasonally varying climatological wind and heat flux fields. The …

Dynamics of global ocean heat transport variability
… used to estimate the time-dependent global ocean heat transport and investigate its dynamics. The north-south heat transport is the prime manifestation of the ocean’s role in global climate, but understanding of its variability has been fragmentary owing to uncertainties in observational analyses, …
