Changes in shelf waters due to air-sea fluxes and their influence on the Arctic Ocean circulation as simulated in the OCCAM global ocean model
No full textIn this study we look at the ocean circulation of the Arctic Ocean in the high-resolution OCCAM global ocean model. The Arctic Ocean consists of deep basins surrounded by a large area of continental shelves, where cooling and ice formation play an important role in dense water formation. In the model these dense waters are transported by a circumpolar boundary current into the deep convection sites of the North Atlantic Ocean. The boundary current is thought to be a continuous feature in the real ocean, however the driving force is still unknown. We provide evidence that buoyancy fluxes that occur due to air-sea exchanges on the continental shelves are an important driving force for the boundary current in the model.The formation area of the circumpolar boundary current is found in the Barents Sea, where there is a high pressure area associated with cooling of inflowing Atlantic Water (AW). The modified water, Barents Sea Water (BSW), is then able to pass through the Arctic Front as it sinks into the Arctic Basin via the St Anna Trough in a boundary current. The high density signal of these waters can be seen all around the continental slope of the Arctic Ocean as a continuous pressure gradient. The boundary pressure gradient continues into the North Atlantic, where a low pressure region is found off Cape Hatteras.A time-dependent variant of an accurate particle tracking technique has been applied to calculate pathways of the dense waters using stored velocity fields of the OCCAM model. This technique has been extended with a representation of random motions due to diffusive effects. An expression for the random motions is derived using the theory of Brownian motion, and is chosen to match the Laplacian eddy viscosity terms in the momentum equations of the OCCAM model. The trajectories of the dense waters on the Barents Sea shelf follow the boundary current, and are guided around the slope by topographical contours. However the pathways are severely affected by large-scale wind-driven features as the Trans-Arctic drift and the Beaufort Gyre, which carry water masses out of the boundary current or trap them in the Canadian Basin. It is found that it takes approximately 30 years for the bulk of BSW to reach the North Atlantic, although the major signals complete the Arctic circumference within 10 years. The transport of the BSW through the Arctic into the North Atlantic can be accurately described by a 1D advection-diffusion model with a ”diffusion” coefficient of 1.3 × 109cm2/s and an ”advection” coefficient of 2.9cm/s. This confirms that the diffusion of particles is caused by basin-scale features rather than meso-scale eddies. More dense water is formed on the Chukchi Sea shelf, which originates from the Bering Strait Outflow. There are signs that these dense waters provide forcing for eddies seen off North Alaska.A new theory is presented for calculating the Available Potential Energy (APE) on the continental shelves for driving local currents in the Arctic Ocean, using the mean offshore density structure as a reference state. The air-sea fluxes in the Barents Sea are found to create a large amount of APE on the shelves, which is lost as the dense waters sink into the Arctic Basin. Although it is found the inflowing AW already has a large amount of APE which cannot fully be converted due to the Arctic Front in Fram Strait, therefore it appears the cooling in the Barents Sea is crucial to the forcing of the boundary current. This cooling in the prescribed model air-sea fluxes is likely to be caused by enormous heat losses to the atmosphere in large ice-free regions, which are created by the inflow of warm AW

Os Estylos são Função dos Indivíduos
No full textIn this paper, I propose some associations between Pessoa's reflections on style and his definition of freedom and autonomy. According to the described point of view, style becomes a manifestation of a superlative state of access to culture from which the author acquires an expression freed from conventional shackles, allowing a management and adaptation of different cultural vocabularies, represented, for example, by the various mythologies adopted in writing. The problem of style, usually read in terms of aesthetic issues or the constitution of heteronymic individuality and the debate between heteronyms, is thus associated with other relevant issues in Fernando Pessoa's theoretical universe.Neste texto, propõem-se algumas associações entre a discussão de Pessoa em torno do estilo e o modo como o poeta define uma concepção da liberdade e da autonomia. De acordo com o ponto de vista descrito, o estilo converte-se numa manifestação de um superlativo estado de acesso à cultura a partir do qual o artista criador adquire uma expressão liberta de amarras convencionais, permitindo ao indivíduo manejar e adaptar os diferentes vocabulários culturais, representados, por exemplo, pelas várias mitologias adoptadas no decurso da escrita. O problema do estilo, normalmente lido em função de questões estéticas ou da constituição da individualidade heteronímica e do debate entre os heterónimos, é assim associado a outras questões relevantes no universo teórico de Fernando Pessoa
Napoleon, Bourses, and Growth in Latin America
No full textThe value of equity market transactions in emerging economies soared from about 2 percent of the world total in 1986 to 12 percent in 1996. This boom was accompanied by an explosion of international capital flows, especially flows into developing country stock markets. Moreover, while equity flows were a negligible part of capital flows to emerging markets a decade ago, equity flows now represent about 20 percent of private capital flows to developing nations.

“Nós os de Orpheu”: da distinção
No full textThis essay considers Fernando Pessoa’s text “Nós os de Orpheu” within its specific context of publication, a magazine that pays tribute to Orpheu, twenty years after its short existence, and to Presença, a dominant magazine in the national literary scene at the time. This collaboration in Sudoeste is Pessoa´s last publication in his lifetime, being these therefore his ultimate and, accordingly, definitive words about Orpheu. This note will be discussed, on the one hand, in relation to other texts in which Pessoa spoke about Orpheu and, on the other hand, considered as a distinguishing act in relation to the Presença movement. The confrontation between Orpheu and Presença, that this number of Sudoeste stages and promotes, has become decisive in reading the Portuguese literary modernism. This essay argues that it is the awareness of this confrontation which underlies this editorial note as well as the choice of the other texts the author decided to publish on the same occasion, the poem “Conselho”, in his own name, and “Nota ao Acaso", from Álvaro de Campos.O presente ensaio entende o texto “Nós os de Orpheu” de Fernando Pessoa a partir do seu contexto específico de publicação, uma revista que presta homenagem a Orpheu, vinte anos depois da sua curta existência, e à Presença, dominante no panorama literário nacional coevo. Atendendo à circunstância de ser a colaboração em Sudoeste a última publicação em vida de Pessoa, estas são as suas derradeiras e, nesse sentido, definitivas palavras sobre Orpheu. Esta nota será discutida, por um lado, tendo presentes outros textos em que Pessoa se pronunciou sobre Orpheu e, por outro, considerando-a como acto de distinção relativamente ao movimento presencista. O confronto entre Orpheu e Presença, que este número de Sudoeste encena e promove, passou a ser determinante na leitura do modernismo literário português. Este ensaio defende que é a consciência dessa confrontação a subjazer à nota editorial de Pessoa e a tornar decisivas as escolhas dos outros textos que o autor decidiu publicar nessa mesma ocasião, o poema “Conselho”, em nome próprio, e a “Nota ao Acaso”, de Álvaro de Campos
Characterization and structure in the development of Tudor comedy
No full textThe role of characterization in dramatic structure is assessed by theoretical criteria.
Characters who perform actions necessary for the completion of the narrative sequence are
said to be "bound" to the narrative; those without such obligations are "free". Characters
who maintain a single, constant meaning during the course of a play are said to be "static";
characters who change or develop into new roles are "dynamic". Horatian decorum
demanded that comic characters be static, and the characters of Plautine and Terentian
tradition were almost always bound to narrative intrigue. However, evaluations of six
Tudor comedies show an increasing use of non-classical characterization within the comic
form.
In the early comedies lohan lohan and Roister Doister all characters are bound and
static, yet the impetus to enlarge the role of characterization is evident. The characters of
lohan lohan are expanded from their French source, and Roister Doister includes
extraneous episodes in which Udall displays his braggart hero. Free characters abound in
Misogonus; as well the play brings dynamic characterization into the scope of comedy with
the conversion of its prodigal son.
Free characters offer new possibilities of non-narrative plotting. In comedies of the
1580s favourite traditional characters appear as diversions outside the action, and thematic
arrangements of characters inform the increasingly complex plots. Lyly stresses the
symbolic potential of characters in Endimion, whereas Greene uses dynamic
characterization to heighten the illusion of independent figures in Friar Bacon and Friar
Bungay. Love's Labour's Lost exposes the limitations of comic artifice by pulling the
characters between convention and individualization.
By the end of the sixteenth century free and dynamic characters had become
common, and characterization had established a sizable claim on the design of English
comedy. These developments set the English form apart from its neoclassical counterparts
