Recent increases in Arctic freshwater flux affects Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning circulation
Download2016
Chambers, Don, Dixon, Timothy H., Bonin, Jennifer, van den Broeke, M. R., Yang, Qian, Ribergaard, Mads H., Mortensen, John, Myers, Paul G.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is an important component of ocean thermohaline circulation. Melting of Greenland’s ice sheet is freshening the North Atlantic; however, whether the augmented freshwater flux is disrupting the AMOC is unclear. Dense Labrador Sea Water (LSW),...

Resonant drift echoes in electron phase space density produced by dayside Pc5 waves following a geomagnetic storm
Download2008
Rankin, Robert, Degeling, Alex W.
The interaction between relativistic, equatorially mirroring electrons and Pc5 Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) waves in the magnetosphere is investigated using a numerical MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) model for waves and a test-kinetic model for electron phase space density (PSD). The temporal and spatial...

Self‐consistent wave‐particle interactions in dispersive scale long‐period field‐line‐resonances
Download2007
Rankin, Robert, Samson, John C., Watt, Clare E. J.
Using 1D Vlasov drift-kinetic computer simulations, it is shown that electron trapping in long period standing shear Alfvén waves (SAWs) provides an efficient energy sink for wave energy that is much more effective than Landau damping. It is also suggested that the plasma environment of low...

Kabin, Konstantin, Marchand, Richard, Lu, J. Y., Rankin, Robert, Tikhonchuk, Vladimir T.
It is shown that perpendicular gradients in shear Alfvén wave (SAW) dispersion regulate the localization of wave power on nightside geomagnetic L-shells where narrow Field Line Resonances (FLRs) form. We estimate the timescale for this process, ω0tc = 1/equation image, and demonstrate that it is...

Ductile steel plate shear walls are an established lateral load resisting system. Past research indicates that cold-rolled infill panels less than 1 mm in thickness present one solution to an overstrength problem arising from selecting an infill panel thickness based on ease of welding and...
