Fall 2017
Perception is to sensation what illusion is to the actual state of the world. How we sense information varies greatly from how we ultimately perceive and understand that information - a result of top-down and bottom-up processes at work. Work from over 100 years ago (Brucke, 1864) found an...

Effect of a variable eddy transfer coefficient in an eddy-permitting model of the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean
Download2005
The effect of using a variable eddy transfer coefficient for the Gent–McWilliams (GM) parameterization in a (1/3)°-resolution ocean model of the subpolar North Atlantic Ocean is investigated. Results from four experiments with different implementations of this coefficient are compared among...

The major question addressed by neuroscience is how behavior can be explained through knowledge of the brain. Given the unobservable nature of mind, cognitive neuroscientists depend on observations of the electrical activity of the brain gleaned through electroencephalographic (EEG) recordings to...

Greenland freshwater pathways in the sub-Arctic seas from model experiments with passive tracers
Download2016
Chassignet, Eric, Lee, Craig M., Bamber, Jonathan L., Curry, Beth, Dukhovskoy, Dmitry S., Timmermans, Mary-Louise, Platov, Gennady, Myers, Paul G., Proshutinsky, Andrey, Hu, Xianmin, Somavilla, Raquel
Accelerating since the early 1990s, the Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss exerts a significant impact on thermohaline processes in the sub-Arctic seas. Surplus freshwater discharge from Greenland since the 1990s, comparable in volume to the amount of freshwater present during the Great Salinity...

This thesis encompasses the development and testing of an interstitial photodynamic therapy (iPDT) system for the treatment of prostate cancer. It begins with the optical characterization of a novel photosensitizer (SL-052) followed by a study of tissue optics as it applies to iPDT. The design...

Aura, Stella M., Myers, Paul G., Weaver, Andrew J.
A coarse resolution model is developed to study the thermohaline circulation of the North Atlantic. This model is driven by the annual mean Hellerman and Rosenstein wind stress field, Levitus sea surface restoring temperatures, and Schmitt, Bogden, and Dorman freshwater flux fields (mixed...

Kelvin‐Helmholtz unstable magnetotail flow channels: Deceleration and radiation of MHD waves
Download2014
Turkakin, Hava, Rankin, Robert, Mann, Ian R.
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) of magnetotail flow channels associated with bursty bulk flows (BBFs) is investigated. MHD oscillations of the channel in both kink and sausage modes are investigated for KHI, and both the primary and secondary KHIs are found that drive MHD waves. These...

Modeling the paleocirculation of the Mediterranean: The Last Glacial Maximum and the Holocene with emphasis on the formation of sapropel S1
Download1998
Myers, Paul G., Rohling, Eelco J., Haines, Keith
An ocean general circulation model is used to simulate the thermohaline circulation in the Mediterranean sea during the last glacial maximum and the Holocene, when the sapropel S1 was deposited. The model is forced by prescribed surface temperatures and salinities, where present-day values lead...
