Ocean structure and climate (Eastern North Atlantic): in situ measurement and remote sensing
No full textStructure and climate of the east North Atlantic are appraised within a framework of in situ measurement and altimeter remote sensing from 0 degree - 60 degree N. Long zonal expendable bathythermograph /conductivity-temperature-depth probe sections show repeating internal structure in the North Atlantic Ocean. Drogued buoys and subsurface floats give westward speeds for eddies and wavelike structure. Records from longterm current meter deployments give the periodicity of the repeating structure. Eddy and wave characteristics of period, size or wavelength, westward propagation speed, and mean currents are derived at 20 degree N, 26 degree N, 32.5 degree N, 36 degree N and 48 degree N from in situ measurements in the Atlantic Ocean. It is shown that ocean wave and eddy-like features measured in situ correlate with altimeter structure. Interior ocean wave crests or cold dome-like temperature structures are cyclonic and have negative surface altimeter anomalies; mesoscale internal wave troughs or warm structures are anticyclonic and have positive surface height anomalies. Along the Eastern Boundary, flows and temperature climate are examined in terms of sla and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) Index. Longterm changes in ocean climate and circulation are derived from sla data. It is shown that longterm changes from 1992 to 2002 in the North Atlantic Current and the Subtropical Gyre transport determined from sla data correlate with winter NAO Index such that maximum flow conditions occurred in 1995 and 2000. Minimum circulation conditions occurred between 1996-1998. Years of extreme negative winter NAO Index result in enhanced poleward flow along the Eastern Boundary and anomalous winter warming along the West European Continental Slope as was measured in 1990, 1996, 1998 and 2001

Notes on Some Sanskrit Astrological Authors [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textThis paper supplements and corrects the information given in the works of David Pingree regarding four major authors on Tājika or Sanskritized Perso-Arabic astrology from the fourteenth to the seventeenth century: Tejaḥsiṃha, Yādavasūri, Bālakṛṣṇa and Balabhadra. It further contributes information on a fifth such author, Tuka, not discussed by Pingree

Again about a Cygni in the Sasanian Astronomical Tradition
No full textThe author, starting from the researches of David Pingree, who evidenced that some stars mentioned in the Liber Aristotilis seem to keep their original Pahlavi name, discusses the names of the Star alfa Cygni in Pahlavi and Arabic sources
Coupling between physical and biological fields in the North Atlantic subtropical front southeast of the Azores
No full textFrom asynchronous logic to the Standard Model to superflight to the stars: Superluminal CP and CPT symmetry, U(4) complex general relativity and the Standard Model
No full textThis book is the second volume exploring the properties of faster than light particles (tachyons). The existence of tachyons has not been proved yet. But the instantaneous nature of Quantum Mechanics and the behavior of particles in Black Holes prove faster than light motion occurs in nature. In volume 1 the author showed that one can derive the form of The Standard Model of elementary particles if neutrinos and down-type quarks are tachyons. In this volume the author shows that these tachyons cause Parity, CP and CPT violation. Also the General Theory of Relativity is extended to Complex General Relativity and its vierbein version. The theory's complex coordinates are mapped to real-valued coordinates (that we observe) using a transformation composed of SU(3) and two SU(2)xU(1) groups - the very groups that appear in The Standard Model. Volume 1 showed that these same groups play a similar role in The Standard Model by mapping complex, faster than light coordinates to real-valued coordinates. Thus the same groups are the basis of Complex General Relativity and The Standard Model. WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles - Dark Matter?) appear naturally in this Standard Model. WIMP atoms and chemistry is described. Lastly, the kinetic theory and thermodynamics of systems of tachyons is developed. An appendix is attached with a description of Complex General Relativity that appears in the author's earlier "Quantum Big Bang" book
