Analysis Of Variability Of Tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures, Georgina Davies, Noel A. Cressie Jan 2016

Analysis Of Variability Of Tropical Pacific Sea Surface Temperatures, Georgina Davies, Noel A. Cressie

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Sea surface temperature (SST) in the Pacific Ocean is a key component of many global climate models and the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. We shall analyse SST for the period November 1981-December 2014. To study the temporal variability of the ENSO phenomenon, we have selected a subregion of the tropical Pacific Ocean, namely the Niño 3.4 region, as it is thought to be the area where SST anomalies indicate most clearly ENSO's influence on the global atmosphere. SST anomalies, obtained by subtracting the appropriate monthly averages from the data, are the focus of the majority of previous analyses of …


Analysis Of The Oceanic Wave Dynamics For Generation Of Electrical Energy Using A Linear Generator, Omar Farrok, Md Rabiul Islam, Md Rafiqul Islam Sheikh Jan 2016

Analysis Of The Oceanic Wave Dynamics For Generation Of Electrical Energy Using A Linear Generator, Omar Farrok, Md Rabiul Islam, Md Rafiqul Islam Sheikh

Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part B

Electricity generation from oceanic wave depends on the wave dynamics and the behavior of the ocean. In this paper, a permanent magnet linear generator (PMLG) has been designed and analyzed for oceanic wave energy conversion. The proposed PMLG design is suitable for the point absorber type wave energy device. A mathematical model of ocean wave is presented to observe the output characteristics and performance of the PMLG with the variation of ocean waves. The generated voltage, current, power, applied force, magnetic flux linkage, and force components of the proposed PMLG have been presented for different sea wave conditions. The commercially …
