Event characteristics of intra-seasonal climate circulations
An analysis of rainfall characteristics over the summer rainfall areas of South Africa is done in order to find links between rainfall variability and the general circulation. Seasonal rainfall totals are clearly linked to significant rain days, indicating the importance of evaluating …

Circulations and water mass balances in the Brazil Basin
Based on the Levitus atlas, we find that the application of the Montgomery streamfunction to the isopycnal surfaces induces an error which can not be ignored in some regions in the ocean. The error arises from the sloping effect of the specific volume anomaly along isopycnal surfaces. By including …

Transatlantic Latter-day Saints: Mormon circulations between America and South Africa
… American. By tracking historical transatlantic circulations, mapping changing territories, and utilizing the comparative strategies of scholars such as Jonathan Z. Smith and David Chidester, this study documents and analyses the changing associations of South African Mormonism with America. In …

Photographic backdrops in Cameroon: A study of intra-interregional and intergenerational circulations.
This study is about photographic backdrops in the Cameroon visual scene, from the 1950s to 1980s, a time in which Cameroon moved from a divided state to a unified nation state. Several different forms of these backdrops were identified and mapped out intra- interregionally and intergenerationally …

The Structure and Intensity of Winter Mesoscale Lake -Effect Circulations Associated With an Isolated Lake
… predict the strength of mesoscale lake-effect circulations a simple function, called the lake-effect intensity index, was developed using the dimensional analysis technique. The intensity index was found to be equivalent to scaling the Froude number by a dimensionless quantity comprised of …

Relationship between the land/sea breeze circulations and the air pollution dispersion over the coastal area of Kuwait.
… to identify the effect the sea-land breeze circulations have on the winds, and determine the effects of the wind patterns of pollution concentration in the region. Nearly all of the severe air quality conditions over the coastal areas are correlated with the sea-land breeze recirculation. …

The representation of the Kalahari thermal low and its induced circulations over Southern Africa in observations and models
… the accurate representation of the Hadley circulations over southern Africa revealed the coexistence of both shallow and deep Hadley circulations over southern Africa. The deep mode is characterized by a strong convection that occurs over the tropical southern Africa (between 25o–15oS). The …

Buying into (Re)tale Therapy: Establishing Identity, Exercising Freedom, and Pursuing Happiness Through Circulations of Personal and Master Narratives About Shopping
<p>Retail therapy, or shopping to improve our mood, develops as a rhetorical force that operates quietly, but forcefully in culture to keep capitalism intact. Retail therapy is a compilation of therapeutic narratives about shopping’s ability to give purpose and meaning to life. This dissertation …

Impact of time and spatial averages on the energy balance closure
Secondary circulations are large and relatively stationary eddies, which are caused by the surface heterogeneity and normally reside away from the ground. They are believed to be the cause of the energy balance closure problem at the earth's surface, because their contribution to the turbulent …

The synoptic drivers of extreme rainfall in South Africa
… (SOMs) were used to characterize the synoptic circulations on a general country-wide scale as well as for 8 different regional rainfall regimes at a seasonal scale. Synoptic circulations associated with extreme rainfall events often involved an interaction between more than one synoptic feature …

Numerical Studies of Synoptic and Mesoscale Environments Conducive to Heavy Rainfall in Tropical and Extratropical Systems
… that the coupling of transverse ageostrophic circulations over a pre-existing low-level confluence zone was a key precursor to heavy rainfall production. In both cases, a low-level confluence zone was found from the observations and simulations. For Floyd, the confluence zone developed as warm …
