The definitive version was published in IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering 35 (2010): 710-721, doi:10.1109/JOE.2010.2052875.In this paper, a method for merging partial overlapping time series of ocean profiles into a single time series of profiles using empirical orthogonal function (EOF) decomposition with the objective analysis is presented. The method is used to handle internal waves passing two or more mooring locations from multiple directions, a situation where patterns of variability cannot be accounted for with a simple time lag. Data from one mooring are decomposed into linear combination of EOFs. Objective analysis using data from another mooring and these patterns is then used to build the necessary profile for merging the data, which is a linear combination of the EOFs. This method is applied to temperature data collected at a two vertical moorings in the 2006 New Jersey Shelf Shallow Water Experiment (SW06). Resulting profiles specify conditions for 35 days from sea surface to seafloor at a primary site and allow for reliable acoustic propagation modeling, mode decomposition, and beamforming.This work was supported by the U.S. Office

What makes a great textbook? Lessons learned from Joe Hair
No full textWhat does it take to obtain 200,000 citations or more in the wider field of business administration? A Nobel Prize (or two) wouldn’t be amiss. Lacking such kudos, you need to be Joseph F. Hair, the author of the book on Multivariate Data Analysis, which has garnered 100,000+ citations since its publication in 1979 (Google Scholar, July 2018). A Primer on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) is, despite its unpromising title, Joe’s second best-cited book, focusing on a specific multivariate analysis method. I have the pleasure and honor of being a coauthor of this book, and, given its success, a many potential authors of best-selling textbooks are no doubt keen on knowing what insights I gained while working with Joe. I can’t promise them an instant bestseller, but I can summarize the key lessons learned from Joe about what makes a great textbook
Forecasting banknotes
No full textA central bank’s liquidity forecast is important in ensuring that it supplies the banking system’s need for central bank money. Banknote (or currency in circulation) demand is the largest and for some central banks the most variable component of the liquidity forecast. Accurate forecasting of banknotes is essential in ensuring an accurate liquidity forecast and in turn effective monetary policy implementation. This Handbook discusses these issues and outlines a structural time series state space (STSSS) model which is now used by central banks including the Bank of England and ECB to forecast banknotes (currency in circulation).Forecasting banknotes
Acoustic mode coupling by nonlinear internal wave packets in a shelfbreak front area

The definitive version was published in IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering 29 (2004): 118-125, doi:10.1109/JOE.2003.822975.A computational case study of coupled-mode 400-Hz acoustic propagation over the distance 27 km on the continental shelf is presented. The mode coupling reported here is caused by lateral gradients of sound-speed within packets of nonlinear internal waves, often referred to as solitary wave packets. In a waveguide having unequal attenuation of modes, directional exchange of energy between low- and high-loss modes, via mode coupling, can become time dependent by the movement of waves and can cause temporally variable loss of acoustic energy into the bottom. Here, that bottom interaction effect is shown to be sensitive to stratification conditions, which determine waveguide properties and, in turn, determine modal attenuation coefficients. In particular, time-dependent energy loss due to the presence of moving internal wave packets is compared for waveguides with and without a frontal feature similar to that found at the shelfbreak south of New England. The mean and variability of acoustic energy level 27 km distant from a source are shown to be altered in a first order way by the presence of the frontal feature. The effects of the front are also shown to be functions of source depth.This work

Acoustic ducting, reflection, refraction, and dispersion by curved nonlinear internal waves in shallow water
No full textAuthor Posting. © IEEE, 2010. This article is posted here by permission of IEEE for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in IEEE Journal of Oceanic Engineering 35 (2010): 12-27, doi:10.1109/JOE.2009.2038512.Nonlinear internal waves in shallow water have been shown to be effective ducts of acoustic energy, through theory, numerical modeling, and experiment. To date, most work on such ducting has concentrated on rectilinear internal wave ducts or those with very slight curvature. In this paper, we examine the acoustic effects of significant curvature of these internal waves. (By significant curvature, we mean lateral deviation of the internal wave duct by more than half the spacing between internal waves over an acoustic path, giving a transition from ducting to antiducting.) We develop basic analytical models of these effects, employ fully 3-D numerical models of sound propagation and scattering, and examine simultaneous acoustical and oceanographic data from the 2006 Shallow Water Experiment (SW06). It will be seen that the effects of curvature should be evident in the mode amplitudes and arrival angles, and that observations are consistent with curvature, though with some possible ambiguity with other scattering mechanisms.This work was
