Pacific Coast of Colombia
(Springer Netherlands, 2010-01-01)
The Pacific coast of Colombia (for its Caribbean Coast, Caribbean Coast of Colombia) extends to the west of the Cordillera Occidental, the westernmost branch of the South American Andes. The region, known for its heavy ...
Preface: Unsolved problems of magnetospheric physics

©2016. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. The Unsolved Problems of Magnetospheric Physics Workshop was held in September 2015 in Scarborough, UK. In contrast to most other meetings, people were specifically ...
Nonlinear electrostatic instabilities in the solar wind
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2009)
It is well known that nonlinear electrostatic instabilities can be triggered in a plasma with streaming ion species in the presence of finite-amplitude Alfvén cyclotron waves. The instability occurs when the phase velocity ...
Physical Oceanography of the Bahia Blanca Estuary
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2021)
The Bahía Blanca Estuary is the flooded remnant of the northern portion of the Late Pleistocene-Early Holocene Colorado Delta. As a result of the distributary system developed during its formation, the geomorphologic ...
The Spindown of Bottom-trapped Plumes
(American Meteorological Society, 2010-06)
This note considers the decay of a bottom-trapped freshwater plume after the causative freshwater inflow has ceased. It is shown that shortly after the low-density inflow stops, the barotropic pressure field that it created ...
The Impact of Boundary Conditions on the Upstream Spreading of Bottom-Trapped Plumes
(American Meteorological Society, 2013-06)
This study shows that simulations of bottom-trapped plumes in periodic or closed domains generate a spurious cyclonic current that arrests the natural tendency of the plume to move upstream. Furthermore, it also shows that ...
Connectivity in the northern Gulf of California from particle tracking in a three-dimensional numerical model
(2008)
The northern Gulf of California, Mexico, is one of the most productive and diverse marine ecosystems in the world. It currently harbors three marine protected areas, including two biosphere reserves. Despite its significance ...
