Relationship between solar radiation and dimethylsulfide concentrations using in situ data for the pristine region of the southern hemisphere
Abstract The biological processes have been proposed as climate variability contributors. Dimethylsulfide (DMS) is the main biogenic sulfur compound in the atmosphere; it is mainly produced by the marine biosphere and plays an important role in the...

Coupling heterogeneous continuum-particle fields to simulate non-isothermal microscale gas flows
Abstract This paper extends the hybrid computational method proposed by Docherty et al. (2014) for simulating non-isothermal rarefied gas flows at the microscale. Coupling a continuum fluid description to a direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC)...

Developing priority variables (“ecosystem Essential Ocean Variables” — eEOVs) for observing dynamics and change in Southern Ocean ecosystems
Abstract Reliable statements about variability and change in marine ecosystems and their underlying causes are needed to report on their status and to guide management. Here we use the Framework on Ocean Observing (FOO) to begin developing ecosystem ...

Geomorphic indexing of landslide dams evolution
Abstract Landslide dams are rather common events in hilly and mountainous areas and they occur when a landslide reaches a valley floor closing the riverbed. If they form a lake basin, unstable landslide dams can have catastrophic consequences when...
