Tides and Air
… artwork for Kristine R. Synowka's exhibition, Tides and Air. Through a wide variety of different media, both traditional and electronic, a hypothetical world split between terrestrial plants and weeds and ocean environments is explored within the space of the gallery. Echoing the movement of …

Internal tides near steep topographies
… equations to study the sensitivity of internal tides to perturbations in the density field. First, we ensure that the 2D Finite Volume (2DFV) code that we use can accurately capture non-hydrostatic internal tides since these dynamics have not yet been carefully evaluated for accuracy in this …

Ocean Tides Modeling using Satellite Altimetry
<p>Ocean tides, resulting mainly from the gravitational attractions of the Moon and the Sun, represent 80% of the ocean surface topography variability with a practical importance for commerce and science over hundreds of years. Tides have strong influence on modeling of coastal or continental shelf …

Earth tides, earthquake occurrence and earth deformation
An analysis of Earth deformation, earthquakes and tides has been undertaken<br/>using Earth tide and interferometric SAR data from ESA satellites. The ability<br/>of Earth tides to trigger earthquakes has been investigated by measuring the<br/>statistical relationship between earthquake occurrence …

Vertically Propagating Tides in the Martian Atmosphere
Atmospheric tides significantly influence the dynamics of Mars' upper atmosphere. The impact of tides on the mean state of the present-day Martian atmosphere is especially large at high altitudes. Certain tides can propagate away from the region of generation in the lower atmosphere and reach the …

Ground water reservoir response to earth tides
… for the response of artesian aquifers to earth tides have been examined anda new model developed. A formula for the computation of poresity from tidal water level measurement is presented. Tidal water level fluctuations in three artesian wells of southwest Virginia were recorded, digitized and …

Non-migrating tides in the Martian thermosphere
… structures associated with non-migrating tides in observations of the upper neutral atmosphere of Mars. MAVEN’s Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrometer (IUVS) observations of the upper atmosphere reveal variations in density with longitude at altitudes of 130 – 200 km, and can be used to identify …

Molecular insights into the niche of harmful brown tides
Recurrent brown tide blooms caused by the harmful alga Aureococcus anophagefferens have decimated coastal ecosystems and shellfisheries along the Eastern U.S. and South Africa. The exact mechanisms controlling bloom formation, sustenance, and decline are unclear, however bottom-up factors such as …

Observations of Non-Migrating Tides in the Middle Thermosphere
Non-migrating tides are understood to be an important coupling mechanism through which lower atmospheric conditions influence the variability of the near-Earth space environment. Tidal variations have been exhaustively characterized in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere and the upper thermosphere, …

On the Interaction between Gravity Waves and Atmospheric Thermal Tides
<p>Gravity waves and thermal tides are two of the most important dynamical features of the atmosphere. They are both generated in the lower atmosphere and propagate upward transporting energy and momentum to the upper atmosphere. This dissertation focuses on the interaction of these waves in the …

FLORIDA RED TIDES FROM A SCIENTIFIC AND PUBLIC INFORMATION PERSPECTIVE
… the St. Petersburg Times from 1953 to 1997. Red tides caused by Gymnodinium breve along the Florida Gulf coast are riddled with complexity; scientists have been asking many of the same questions for nearly 50 years. Red tides also attract considerable media publicity. This thesis addressed the …

Influence of Tides and Mesoscale Eddies in the Ross Sea
… by the PRISM-RS project, is to investigate how tides and mesoscale eddies affect the pathways of dFe to the surface ocean.</p> <p>A regional ocean model with four hindcast simulations are used. Tidal forcing is added to simulations and mesoscale eddies are resolved by changing the horizontal …

PROBING THE NATURE OF COMPACT OBJECTS: SCATTERING, TIDES AND QUASINORMAL MODES
The LIGO-VIRGO-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration has detected 90 confirmed gravitational-wave (GW) events and nearly 200 confident triggers across four observational runs. Coalescing black-hole (BH) and neutron-star (NS) binaries are primary GW sources, offering the unique possibility to probe the nature …

Literature and the littoral in South Africa: reading the tides of history
This thesis explores representations of the littoral in South African literature. It analyses literature published in three broad historical periods with the specific focus on the littoral as a setting from which authors imagine histories differently, often as a corrective, to challenge and wrestle …
