    On the adjoint of Laplace’s tidal equations

    No full text
    The concept of the adjoint is regularly used in studies of both the resonances of physical systems and their response to external forcing. This report reviews the underlying theory involved in the adjoints of both differential equations and matrices and shows how the theory may be used to derive a physically meaningful adjoint to Laplace’s Tidal Equations. Numerical models of the tides usually use a finite difference form of the tidal equations. The report investigates the adjoint properties of the finite difference equations. It shows that the are not necessarily symmetrical, i.e. the finite difference form of the adjoint tidal equations may not be the same as the adjoint of the normal finite difference equations. It also shows that, with a suitable choice of the way the boundary conditions and Coriolis terms are represented, the finite difference forms can be made symmetric

    The Gardner-Webb University School of Education recently received accreditation for its educator-licensing programs under the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) standards. NCATE’s performance-based accreditation system for teacher preparation ensures that teacher candidates are prepared to make a difference in pre-kindergarten through twelfth-grade (P-12) student learning environments. “A rigorous, comprehensive assessment process aligned with national standards confirms that we are preparing our students for excellence in improving P-12 student achievement in our community and throughout North Carolina,” reported Dr. Jeff Hamilton, director of assessment for the Gardner-Webb University School of Education.https://digitalcommons.gardner-webb.edu/gardner-webb-newscenter-archive/2153/thumbnail.jp
