On The Use Of Tide Gauges To Determine Altimeter Drift, D. P. Chambers, J. C. Ries, C. K. Shum, B. D. Tapley Jan 1998

On The Use Of Tide Gauges To Determine Altimeter Drift, D. P. Chambers, J. C. Ries, C. K. Shum, B. D. Tapley

Marine Science Faculty Publications

TOPEX measurements of sea level variability have been compared to tide gauge measurements from 40 sites and to dynamic topography measurements computed from temperatures recorded at 23 Tropical Ocean-Global Atmosphere (TOGA)-Tropical Atmosphere-Ocean (TAO) buoys in the eastern Pacific and mean temperature-salinity profiles. Buoy data in the western Pacific were not used because of large long-term slopes in the data that appear to be due to interannual salinity variations. The relative drift between TOPEX and the two different in situ sets of data agree within 1 mm yr−1, with a weighted average of −2.6 mm yr−1 and an …


Seasonal Global Water Mass Budget And Mean Sea Level Variations, J. L. Chen, C. R. Wilson, D. P. Chambers, R. S. Nerem, B. D. Tapley Jan 1998

Seasonal Global Water Mass Budget And Mean Sea Level Variations, J. L. Chen, C. R. Wilson, D. P. Chambers, R. S. Nerem, B. D. Tapley

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Analysis of TOPEX/Poseidon satellite altimeter data indicates that the global mean sea level variation has a clear seasonal signal with an amplitude of about 2 to 3 mm, along with a long term drift. This seasonal variation is associated with mass redistribution within the global hydrological cycle plus steric thermal contributions. We investigate seasonal variations of water vapor in the atmosphere and water storage on land using both assimilated atmospheric models and climatological data, and to estimate the corresponding global mean sea level changes. The predicted seasonal global mean sea level changes are then compared with the seasonal variabilities observed …


A Preliminary Assessment Of Wave, Current, And Sediment Interactions On The Louisiana Shoreface Adjacent To The Isles Dernieres, David A. Pepper, Gregory W. Stone, Ping Wang Jan 1998

A Preliminary Assessment Of Wave, Current, And Sediment Interactions On The Louisiana Shoreface Adjacent To The Isles Dernieres, David A. Pepper, Gregory W. Stone, Ping Wang

Geology Faculty Publications

The Louisiana coast is generally characterized as a low wave-energy environment where sediment transport is dominated by the influence of the Mississippi and the Atchafalaya Rivers. Winter cold fronts, however, generate waves and currents that have a significant impact on a variety of Louisiana’s coastal environments, although field data regarding their influence on the inner shelf are extremely sparse. During a 12-d period that included the passage of two cold fronts, waves and near-bed currents were measured on the Louisiana inner-shelf (depth-8 m) using a sophisticated bottom-mounted instrumentation system. Bottom boundary layer parameters were then calculated using wave-current interaction models, …


Measuring Heat Storage Changes In The Equatorial Pacific: A Comparison Between Topex Altimetry And Tropical Atmosphere-Ocean Buoys, D. P. Chambers, B. D. Tapley, R. H. Stewart Jan 1998

Measuring Heat Storage Changes In The Equatorial Pacific: A Comparison Between Topex Altimetry And Tropical Atmosphere-Ocean Buoys, D. P. Chambers, B. D. Tapley, R. H. Stewart

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Heat storage variations in the equatorial Pacific have been studied from December 1992 through February 1997, using sea level data from the TOPEX altimeter and temperatures measured by 42 tethered buoys that are part of the Tropical Ocean-Atmosphere (TAO) array. The TOPEX measurements are converted to heat storage anomalies using a coefficient determined from mean climatological values. For 30-day averages the two measurements agree well over most of the region, except for the southwestern quadrant of the warm pool and a small region of the north-central equatorial Pacific. In the southwestern quadrant the TOPEX measurements indicate a smaller long-term heating …


Spectral Properties Of Operators That Characterize ℓ∞(N), B. L. Chalmers, B. Shekhtman Jan 1998

Spectral Properties Of Operators That Characterize ℓ∞(N), B. L. Chalmers, B. Shekhtman

Mathematics and Statistics Faculty Publications

It is well known that the identity is an operator with the following property: if the operator, initially defined on an n-dimensional Banach space V, can be extended to any Banach space with norm 1, then V is isometric to ℓ∞(n). We show that the set of all such operators consists precisely of those with spectrum lying in the unit circle. This result answers a question raised in [5] for complex spaces.

Medicaid Managed Mental Health Care Arrangements In Ahca Area 6: Organizational, Financial And Clinical Structures, M. Susan Ridgely, Julienne A. Giard, Kristen Snyder Jan 1998

Medicaid Managed Mental Health Care Arrangements In Ahca Area 6: Organizational, Financial And Clinical Structures, M. Susan Ridgely, Julienne A. Giard, Kristen Snyder

Mental Health Law & Policy Faculty Publications

This report, the first full report on the organizational, financial and clinical structures of the managed mental health care interventions in AHCA Area 6, is presented in the following sections. In Section 2 , we describe the methods used to identify, obtain and analyze information on the nine managed care plans operating in Area 6. In Section 3, we provide a chronology of events related to Medicaid managed care and then describe the Medicaid service delivery system in AHCA Area 6, providing contextual data on the number of Medicaid recipients enrolled in managed care plans, the number of MCOs and …

Architectural Power Estimation Based On Behavior Level Profiling, Srinivas Katkoori, Ranga Vemuri Jan 1998

Architectural Power Estimation Based On Behavior Level Profiling, Srinivas Katkoori, Ranga Vemuri

Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications

High level synthesis is the process of generating register transfer (RT) level designs from behavioral specifications. High level synthesis systems have traditionally taken into account such constraints as area, clock period and throughput time. Many high level synthesis systems [1] permit generation of many alternative RT level designs meeting these constraints in a relatively short time. If it is possible to accurately estimate the power consumption of RT level designs, then a low power design from among these alternatives can be selected.In this paper, we present an accurate power estimation technique for register transfer level designs generated by high level …

Plate Tectonic Reconstructions Of The Juan Fernandez Microplate: Transformation From Internal Shear To Rigid Rotation, Robert T. Bird, David F. Naar, Roger L. Larson, Roger C. Searle, Christopher R. Scotese Jan 1998

Plate Tectonic Reconstructions Of The Juan Fernandez Microplate: Transformation From Internal Shear To Rigid Rotation, Robert T. Bird, David F. Naar, Roger L. Larson, Roger C. Searle, Christopher R. Scotese

Marine Science Faculty Publications

Side-scan sonar, swath bathymetry and magnetic anomaly date define a detailed, three-phase history of the Juan Fernandez microplate. The ∼6 m.y. history is presented in a series of discrete time steps to document the growth and reorganization of propagating spreading centers and structural feature, and microplate kinematic evolution. Prior to the microplate, the East Pacific Rise at the Pacific-Antarctic-Nazca triple junction was offset by a long transform fault zone, likely the fastest slipping transform on Earth at anomaly 3A time. The microplate originated from an intratransform setting between anomaly 3A (5.95 Ma) and anomaly 3 (5.24 Ma) time. Its early …
