CIVINS<br>Mooring systems are used to secure offshore structures to the ocean floor. They can provide general station-keeping, where a ship, buoy, or platform is kept in a general location. They can also provide more finite positioning, where heading, draught, elevation, and GPS coordinates are tightly controlled. The behavior of a mooring system depends greatly on its configuration and components, which is discussed in more detail in this section.

Abstract:

Surface gravity waves exist in the oceans as multi-directional nonlinear phenomena. Understanding how these two properties interact is intrinsically important in itself. Furthermore, an understanding of this relationship may be used to gain insight into other oceanic phenomena. This thesis first describes an experimental investigation into the relationship between directionality and non-linearity (Part I). This relationship was then used as a tool to estimate the directional spreading of field data (Part II). Experiments have been conducted in which directionally spread focused wave groups wer

Abstract:

Atmospheric aerosols impact the quality of our life in many direct and indirect ways. Inhalation of aerosols can have harmful effects on human health. Aerosols also have climatic impacts by absorbing or scattering solar radiation, or more indirectly through their interactions with clouds. Despite a better understanding of several relevant aerosol properties and processes in the past years, they remain the largest uncertainty in the estimate of global radiative forcing. The uncertainties arise because although aerosols are ubiquitous in the Earth's atmosphere they are highly variable in space,

Abstract:

The Hamiltonian of a stably stratified incompressible fluid in an internal water wave in a deep ocean is constructed. Studying the ocean internal wave field with its full dynamics is formidable (or unsolvable) so we consider a test-wave Hamiltonian to study the dynamical and statistical properties of the internal water wave field in a deep ocean. Chaos is present in the internal test-wave dynamics using actual coupling coefficients. Moreover, there exists a certain separatrix net that fills the phase space and is covered by a thin stochastic layer for a two-triad pure resonant interaction. The

Abstract:

Large scale patterns in the seabed often occur in the nearshore zone of sandy beaches. A widely occurring bed pattern is the crescentic bar. These bed patterns develop under moderate wave conditions, and form a lunate shaped alongshore pattern in front of a coast. Over recent years, knowledge concerning the development, occurrence, and characteristics of these bed patterns has been significantly expanded through field studies and modelling attempts. An example of such a model is the linear stability analysis, which describes the initial development of crescentic bed patterns along an undisturb

The present study concerns the determination of ocean tide model parameters from GOCE orbital perturbation analysis. The GOCE satellite was launched by the European Space Agency in 2009 and is flying on a Sun-synchronous near circular orbit, at the very low altitude of about 250 km which makes it very sensitive to tidally induced orbit perturbations. The strategy adopted for analyzing GOCE GPS tracking data is the direct fully-dynamic approach, consisting in the GOCE precise orbit determination (POD) and accumulation of the normal equations for each orbital arc, followed by a multiarc so
