Towards determining uncertainties in global oceanic mean values of heat, salt, and surface elevation
(Stockholm University Press, 2018-01-01)
Lower-bounds on uncertainties in oceanic data and a model are calculated for the 20-year time means and their temporal evolution for oceanic temperature, salinity, and sea surface height, during the data-dense interval ...
Understanding Moist Convection From a Lagrangian Perspective
(2018-05-16)
Moist convection plays an important role in the climate system by redistributing heat, moisture, momentum, as well as chemical species, and by perturbing the radiation budget. However, due to our limited knowledge of ...
Elemental Fluxes to the Seafloor: Pleistocene Climate and Submarine Hydrothermal Activity
(2018-01-03)
Marine sedimentary records of major and trace element deposition provide a means to examine the temporal variability and interactions between a wide variety of Earth processes, including fluctuations in atmospheric and ...
The Chemical Structure, Composition, Extent of Mixing, and the Origin of Heterogeneities in the Earth’s Mantle
(2018-09-25)
Formation of chemical heterogeneities and the extent of mixing in the mantle are relevant questions to understanding large scale processes that dominate the bulk silicate Earth, which can be addressed using different methods ...
Multi-Decadal Climate Variability: A Pacific Mechanism With Global Implications
(2018-04-10)
Over the instrumental record, global surface temperatures have increased in a step-like pattern. Two periods of rapid temperature rise (1910 to 1945 and 1976 to roughly 2000) are separated by periods of relative temperature ...
Origin of spatial variation in US East Coast sea-level trends during 1900–2017
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-12)
Identifying the causes of historical trends in relative sea level—the height of the sea surface relative to Earth’s crust—is a prerequisite for predicting future changes. Rates of change along the eastern coast of the USA ...
Layer Formation in Stably and Unstably Stratified Flows
(2018-09-25)
This thesis investigates the dynamics of layered velocity and buoyancy structures in stably and unstably stratified flows. Geophysical examples of layers in stably stratified turbulence include the ocean's equatorial deep ...
Radial Mixing and Ru–Mo Isotope Systematics Under Different Accretion Scenarios
(Elsevier BV, 2018-01)
The Ru–Mo isotopic compositions of inner Solar System bodies may reflect the provenance of accreted material and how it evolved with time, both of which are controlled by the accretion scenario these bodies experienced. ...
