Studies of lateral dispersion in the ocean
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
This thesis is written in two parts. The first part deals with the problem of lateral dispersion due to mesoscale eddies in the open ocean, and the interaction between the mesoscale strain and horizontal diffusion on spatial ...
A qualitative and quantitative study of the distribution of pelagic sediment in the Atlantic Basin
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
Pelagic sedimentation is the primary modifier of topography generated by ridge-associated volcanic and tectonic processes. This thesis represents an effort to understand the processes of, and the general distribution of, ...
Impacts of double-diffusive processes on the thermohaline circulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Double-diffusive processes are studied and parameterized, and their impacts on the oceanic thermohaline circulation are investigated by single-hemisphere numerical models and scaling analysis. Scaling analysis on the ...
Cooling and internal waves on the Continental Shelf
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1998)
Plutonium isotopes in the North Atlantic
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1986)
Eddy-mean flow interactions in western boundary current jets
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
This thesis examines the nature of eddy-mean flow interactions in western boundary current jets and recirculation gyre dynamics from both theoretical and observational perspectives. It includes theoretical studies of ...
A study of certain trace metals in sea water using anodic stripping voltammetry
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1970)
Anodic stripping voltammetry utilizing a thin film mercury composite graphite electrode has been evaluated and applied for the direct analysis of the metals, Zn,J Cu, Pb, and Cd in sea water. The electrode was observed to ...
An organic geochemical approach to problems of glacial-interglacial climatic variability
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1988)
