Biomass burning, from wildfires to cooking stoves, is a major contributor to atmospheric pollution on a global scale, affecting the quality of the air we breathe. Emissions from biomass burning are both health and climate affecting, and vary considerably in composition depending on how the fuel...

Ice-atmosphere interactions in the Canadian high Arctic: implications for the thermo-mechanical evolution of terrestrial ice masses
DownloadFall 2009
Wohlleben, Trudy Monique Heidi
Canadian High Arctic terrestrial ice masses and the polar atmosphere evolve co-dependently, and interactions between the two systems can lead to feedbacks, positive and negative. The two primary positive cryosphere-atmosphere feedbacks are: 1) The snow/ice-albedo feedback (where area changes in...

Internal gravity waves grow in amplitude as they propagate upwards in a non-Boussinesq fluid and weakly nonlinear effects develop due to interactions with an induced horizontal mean flow. In this work, a new derivation for this wave-induced mean flow is presented and nonlinear Schrodinger...
