GeophysicsAbstract
This year's lectures by Derek Moore form a detailed
report of investigations on the fluid motion caused by the
motion of a body in a homogeneous rotating fluid. The emphasis
has been on the significance of the Taylor-Proudman theorem and
the departure of the fluid from the behavior described by the
Taylor-Proudman theorem. The plan was to probe deeply into
one problem and thereby acquire information in a wider area of
study of rotating fluids.

Predicting sonic pulse shapes of underwater spark discharges
Caulfield, David D. (Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1962-03)Measurements of the acoustic pressure of spark discharges were made at a shallow depth (10 feet) for various voltages, stored energies, inductances and capacitances of the system, and electrode areas. The voltages ranged ... -
Baroclinic vortices over a sloping bottom
LaCasce, Joseph H. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1996-09)Nonlinear quasigeostrophic flows in two layers over a topographic slope are considered. The evolution depends on the size of two parameters which indicate the degree of nonlinearity at depth. The first measures the ... -
Evaluating mantle and crustal processes using isotope geochemistry
Saal, Alberto E. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1999-09)Geochemical studies are fundamental for understanding how the dynamic Earth works and evolves. These studies place constraints on the composition, formation, age, distribution, evolution and scales of geochemically ...
