The Southern Ocean is a critical component of Earth's climate system, but its remoteness makes it challenging to develop a holistic understanding of its processes from the small scale to the large scale. As a result, our knowledge of this vast region remai ...
2021Floating bridges and various methods for determining their long-term extreme response due to wave loading
This project presents the theoretical background for calculating the long-term extreme response of pontoon-style floating bridges. Research into surrogate models for the long-term extreme response is given special attention, and various simulations of the ...
2020Meridional and vertical variations of the water vapour isotopic composition in the marine boundary layer over the Atlantic and Southern Ocean
Julia Schmale, Sebastian Johannes Heinz-Josef Landwehr
Stable water isotopologues (SWIs) are useful tracers of moist diabatic processes in the atmospheric water cycle. They provide a framework to analyse moist processes on a range of timescales from large-scale moisture transport to cloud formation, precipitat ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2020Assessing the Hydro-Morphodynamic Response of a Beach Protected by Detached, Impermeable, Submerged Breakwaters: A Numerical Approach
Coastal areas host a large fraction of the world's population and are exposed to natural extreme events, which are a serious threat to human life, as well as to economies. For this reason, sea storms are increasingly the object of studies, and the design o ...
Coastal Education & Research Foundation2016Contractile floating barriers for confinement and recuperation of oil slicks
Marine oil spills can cause serious environmental damages to natural resources and to those whose sustenance depends upon these resources. Unfortunately experience shows that even the best efforts have not prevented occasional occurrences of major accident ...
EPFL2007Simulation of atmospheric flows over complex terrain for wind power potential assessment
When assessing the economic viability of a wind farm, the estimation of the on-site wind power potential is perhaps the most important step. The most common way of evaluating the wind power potential of an area of interest consists of making on-site measur ...
