Studies On The Mechanism And Application Of Steam Thermography, Raymond Gerard Belliveau Iii
Theses and Dissertations
The detection of blood on fabrics for forensic purposes is a widely studied topic in forensic science, and to that end, effort in this laboratory has been devoted to developing a thermal imaging method called steam thermography. Steam thermography is a method used to enhance chemical contrast in thermographic images by exposing a surface to water vapor during imaging. The exposure of water vapor to the surface generates heat, and can differentially increase the thermographically measured apparent temperature of imaged surfaces. This can result in thermographic contrast between surfaces with different chemical properties. Previously reported proposed mechanisms to describe the …

The Role Of The Southern Ocean On Global Ocean Circulation And Climate, Brady Scott Ferster
Theses and Dissertations
The Southern Ocean (SO) is a unique and highly dynamic region with strong temperature and salinity gradients. A comparison between satellite-derived salinity and observations indicates strong differences along coastal boundaries, areas of low temperature, and regions of strong currents. Although differences throughout much of the SO are shown to be negligible, resolution and smoothing in the products create large biases in horizontal gradients and errors in estimating the water cycle. The three-dimensional movement of water within the SO plays an important role in the global Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC), where the Southern Hemisphere westerlies drive both zonal and meridional transports …
