The diurnal cycle of air pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)
This dissertation describes the most comprehensive study to date of the diurnal cycle of air pollution in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal -- a bowl-shaped mountain valley of two million people with a growing air pollution ...
Axisymmetric theory and the interactive, asymmetric monsoon
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The applicability of axisymmetric theory of angular momentum conserving circulations to the large-scale steady monsoon is studied in a general circulation model with idealized representations of continental geometry and ...
Large scale oceanic circulation and fluxes of freshwater, heat, nutrients and oxygen
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)
A new, global inversion is used to estimate the large scale oceanic circulation based on the World Ocean Circulation Experiment and Java Australia Dynamic Experiment hydrographic data. A linear inverse "box" model is used ...
A lower crustal perspective on the stabilization and reactivation of continental lithosphere in the western Canadian shield
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
New geochronological, thermochronological, geological and isotopic data from an extensive (> 20,000 km²) exposure of high-pressure granulites (0.8 to > 1.5 GPa, >750 ⁰C) in the East Lake Athabasca region of the Snowbird ...
