Displacement Of The Earth's Bow Shock And Magnetopause Due To An Impinging Interplanetary Shock Wave, William A. Olson
Displacement Of The Earth's Bow Shock And Magnetopause Due To An Impinging Interplanetary Shock Wave, William A. Olson
Theses and Dissertations
Interplanetary shock waves (ISWs) propagating through the solar wind can collide with the earth's bow shock, resulting in a series of new shocks, contact discontinuities, and rarefaction waves which interact to effectively move the bow shock and magnetopause toward the earth. A one dimensional MacCormack predictor corrector algorithm with Flux Corrected Transport (FCT) was developed to model the ISW bow shock and magnetopause interactions, and to numerically predict their propagation speeds after collision. Analytic relationships for the Mach numbers and propagation speeds of the generated shock waves and contact discontinuities were used to validate the model and to compare numerical …

Celluloid Blackness : Race, Modernity, And The Conflicted Roots Of American Cinema (1915-1939), Lincoln Farr
Honors Theses
Introduction: "The Problem of the Twentieth Century" In a full page interview in the New York Times on May 29, 1912, the Swiss psychiatrist Dr. Carl G. Jung told the American people, "It seems to me that you are about to discover yourselves. You have discovered everything else-all the land of this continent; all the resources, all the hidden things of nature."Jung used the interview to address the American people, at a moment which he somehow recognized as crucial in the development of human civilization. America, the "tragic" country which he struggled to comprehend, would soon become the harbinger of …
Solar Infrared Relative Intensity Data From The Halogen Occultation Experiment, Philip Todd Spickler
Solar Infrared Relative Intensity Data From The Halogen Occultation Experiment, Philip Todd Spickler
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Solar data from the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE) were analyzed to determine the center-to-limb relative intensity and the vertical temperature profile for the quiet and active Sun over wavelengths from 2.4 to 10 {dollar}\mu{dollar}m. An algorithm that incorporated a nonlinear least squares procedure was developed that modeled the HALOE instrument during data acquisition. Data obtained from limb-to-limb scans along the solar equator on days of very low activity in May 1994 were analyzed to obtain coefficients of a function describing the relative intensity from center to limb. The relative intensities produced were precise to 0.1% (2{dollar}\sigma{dollar}) from the center to …
