Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions—particularly from fossil fuel-powered vehicles and airplanes by means of weight savings and leaner fuel consumption, helps to restrain environmental impacts. In general, for a variety of industries, and specifically in the case of transport, where both weight savings and increased energy efficiency are pursued, the use of metal–polymer multi-material structures has been growing at an increasing and particularly fast pace in recent years. Several manufacturing techniques have been, or are being, developed, with the aim of being used for producing dissimilar materials in cost-efficient manners. This book presents recent developments in the state of the art of advanced additive manufacturing and the joining of metal–polymer multi-material structures in transportation. This publication mainly focuses on the correlations between microstructure, manufacturing process (i.e., AddJoining, adhesive bonding, friction riveting, friction-based staking and friction spot joining) properties, and the mechanical performance of metal–polymer multi-material structures.

Book Synopsis Ocean Circulation and Climate by : Simon A. Josey
Download or read book Ocean Circulation and Climate written by Simon A. Josey and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ocean–atmosphere exchanges of heat, water, and momentum are key elements of the global climate system. The processes controlling these exchanges, methods by which they may be estimated, and their impacts on the ocean are reviewed, with an emphasis on developments in the past decade. The main characteristics of the long-term mean exchange fields are presented with reference to atmospheric reanalysis, remote sensing, and ship observation-based datasets. Flux measurement and evaluation techniques are discussed in the context of the key observational reference datasets, particularly the critically important growing network of surface flux buoys. A short review of the many flux datasets that are now available is presented with a focus on the ocean heat budget closure problem that remains a leading unresolved issue. Variability in the exchanges is also considered with a focus on (a) changes associated with large-scale modes of atmospheric variability, (b) the effects of anthropogenic climate change, and (c) transfers under extreme conditions. The ocean impacts of changes in the surface fluxes are explored with a focus on modification of near-surface properties, water mass transformation, and the ocean’s overturning circulation. Finally, prospects for future improvements to flux datasets through advances in the synthesis of data from different sources and enhanced observational constraints are discussed.

Book Synopsis Interhemispheric Water Exchange in the Atlantic Ocean by : G.J. Goni
Download or read book Interhemispheric Water Exchange in the Atlantic Ocean written by G.J. Goni and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2003-11-12 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent results from modeling and observational studies demonstrate that the tropical Atlantic is a critical region for processes that maintain the meridional overturning circulation, such as cross-equatorial exchanges, and for sea surface temperature variability that impacts on climate variability of the coupled tropical ocean/atmosphere system. The theme of this book is the inter-hemispheric and inter-gyre exchanges of heat, salt and fresh water, while its goal is to improve the knowledge of the tropical Atlantic dynamics and how it affects the global ocean. A clear understanding of the dynamics of processes that affect the flow of mass and heat between the southern and the northern hemispheres in the upper few hundred meters in the tropical Atlantic and of those associated to the ocean circulation or to surface signals, from decadal, inter-annual to mesoscale periods, becomes necessary to better evaluate their contribution to the interhemispheric mass exchange. These processes are believed to be largely responsible in driving the sea surface temperature, which in turn, is a critical parameter to investigate ocean-atmospheric interactions. Output produced by regional models is also used to complement the observations and to provide additional information on their spatial and temporal variability. The subtropical cells, by bringing water masses subducted in the subtropics to the equator, and zonal currents investigated here contribute to the interhemispheric water exchange. Special attention is also given to the warm and salty anticyclonic rings shed by the North Brazil Current, which are now known to have a much broader impact, not only on interhemispheric water mass transfer, but also on the environment of remote regions. Observations from different sources are blended together, are used to validate model outputs and are also assimilated into models to obtain a more complete and accurate picture of the oceanic circulation and of its time evolution.

Book Synopsis Ocean Circulation and Climate by : Janet Sprintall
Download or read book Ocean Circulation and Climate written by Janet Sprintall and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interocean and interbasin exchanges occur at choke points of relatively limited extent and so provide natural geographic constraints for observing the variability of the global circulation. However, the complex bathymetry of interconnected straits and sills at these choke points and the many unique dynamical processes associated with interocean and interbasin exchanges provide challenges for observations and models alike. While overall the exchanges tend to reduce property gradients between and within ocean basins and marginal seas, they may also introduce contrasting thermohaline fluxes that can potentially influence the strength and stability of the meridional overturning circulation. In this chapter, the present knowledge of interocean exchange through the high-latitude Drake Passage and Agulhas system in the Southern Ocean and the low-latitude Indonesian seas is discussed. Examples of interbasin exchange from marginal seas illustrate their importance as source regions for the forcing of the circulation, or as regions where water masses are formed that modify and mark the variability in the global climate system. Finally, deep passage overflows that permit the exchange of deep and bottom waters between neighboring ocean basins, their characteristics and dynamics are reviewed.

Book Synopsis Ocean Circulation by : Andreas Schmittner
Download or read book Ocean Circulation written by Andreas Schmittner and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 752 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 173. The ocean's meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is a key factor in climate change. The Atlantic MOC, in particular, is believed to play an active role in the regional and global climate variability. It is associated with the recent debate on rapid climate change, the Atlantic Multi-Decadal Oscillation (AMO), global warming, and Atlantic hurricanes. This is the first book to deal with all aspects of the ocean's large-scale meridional overturning circulation, and is a coherent presentation, from a mechanistic point of view, of our current understanding of paleo, present-day, and future variability and change. It presents the current state of the science by bringing together the world's leading experts in physical, chemical, and biological oceanography, marine geology, geochemistry, paleoceanography, and climate modeling. A mix of overview and research papers makes this volume suitable not only for experts in the field, but also for students and anyone interested in climate change and the oceans.
Book Synopsis Ocean Circulation and Climate by : Stephen R. Rintoul
Download or read book Ocean Circulation and Climate written by Stephen R. Rintoul and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Southern Ocean circulation connects the ocean basins as well as the upper and deep layers of the ocean. As a result, the region has a profound influence on the global ocean circulation and climate. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the overturning circulation are dynamically linked through interactions between the mean flow, eddies, topography, air–sea forcing, and mixing and stirring by small- and mesoscale processes. A new dynamical paradigm is emerging that emphasizes the fully three-dimensional nature of the circulation, including the localization of meridional and vertical exchange of momentum, vorticity, and tracers by interactions between the flow and topography. Changes observed in the Southern Ocean in recent decades have implications for global climate and provide insight into the response of the Southern Ocean circulation to changes in forcing.
Book Synopsis Ocean Circulation and Climate by : Carl Wunsch
Download or read book Ocean Circulation and Climate written by Carl Wunsch and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The World Ocean Circulation Experiment drove the development of estimates of the decadal scale time evolving general circulation that are dynamically and kinematically consistent. A long timescale, and a goal of estimation rather than prediction, preclude the use of meteorological methods called “data assimilation (DA).” Instead, “state estimation” methods are reviewed here and distinguished from DA. Results from the dynamically consistent family of solutions from the project Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean based upon least-squares Lagrange multipliers (adjoints) are used to discuss the determination of the dominant elements of the circulation in the period since 1992—which marked the beginning of the satellite altimetric record. Significant changes documented in the Arctic in recent decades now mandate consideration of the coupled ocean-cryospheric state.
