The horizontal winds in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) at heights of about 80-100 km have been measured by the SKiYMET meteor radar at Collm, Germany (51.3°N, 13°E). The radar has been operating continuously since July 2004, and the data from December 2004 – December 2009 were used for constructing a climatology of the 8-h tide. The 8-h tide appears to be a regular feature in the MLT. In particular, the amplitude shows a clear seasonal behaviour, with maximum values around the equin...

The last decade has witnessed a dramatic growth in passive investing via exchange-traded funds (ETFs). To the extent that the demand for stocks via ETF flows is not related to firm-specific fundamental values, large ETF flows may push the price of the underlying stocks away from their fundamentals-based value. In this study I provide evidence consistent with this conjecture. In particular, I first document a positive association between ETF flows and the price-to-fundamentals relation of underly...

This thesis seeks to answer the question "how much of the internal tide propagating up Knight Inlet, B.C. is reflected by a right-angled bend ?" The internal tide in Knight Inlet is generated by the interaction of the barotropic tide with a shallow sill seaward of the bend. It then propagates in both directions as a travelling Kelvin wave. The up-inlet propagating wave then encounters the bend, where some of it may be reflected. This question is looked at with both theory (Chapter 2) and observa...

The initiation, persistence, and termination of harmful algal blooms (HABs) can all be influenced by nutrient availability. Recent studies have highlighted the role of both organic and inorganic nitrogen sources in HAB dynamics. The pelagophyte Aureoumbra lagunensis causes ecosystem disruptive algal blooms and is responsible for the longest recorded harmful algal bloom (1989-1997). Because of Aureoumbra's small size and its inability to use nitrate, it has been hypothesized that its ability to u...

A parameterization is presented for turbulence dissipation due to baroclinic tide impacting on abrupt shelf topography that is supercritical with respect to the tide. The parameterization requires knowledge of the topography, stratification, and the remote forcing velocity. Upon impact, the tide cascades to higher vertical modes. Vertical internal modes that are arrested at the crest of the topography in the form of lee waves are assumed to dissipate, while faster modes are assumed to propagate ...

Internal waves in the deep ocean play a deciding role in processes such as climate change and nutrient cycles. Winds and tidal currents over topography feed energy into internal waves at large scales; through nonlinear interaction the energy then cascades to turbulence scales and contributes to deep-ocean mixing. The connection of internal waves to deep-ocean mixing is what makes them important. In this thesis we address the problem of energy transfer in internal waves by modelling a two-dimensi...

A tidal and sea level survey was begun in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, on 8 May, 1964. A continuous recording tide gage was installed at the pier of the Oregon State University Marine Science Center. An harmonic analysis of the observed data was made, and the major tidal constants were compared with those published by the Coast and Geodetic Survey. A program was written for the IBM 1410 computer, so that the tide could be predicted at any time using the tidal constants for the Newport area. An investiga...

The GPS radio occultation technique is used to study sporadic E (Es) layer plasma irregularities of the Earth’s ionosphere on a global scale using COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 satellite constellation GPS signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) profiles. The maximum deviation from the mean SNR is attributed to the height of the Es layer. Es are produced by ion convergence due to vertical wind shear in the presence of a horizontal component of the Earth magnetic field, while the wind shear is provided mainly by solar ti...

We use the middle and upper atmosphere model (MUAM) to analyze forcing mechanisms of the terdiurnal tide (TDT) in the middle atmosphere, namely solar heating and nonlinear wave-wave interactions. First, we present model amplitudes of the TDT during January conditions as a validation and for reference. By switching off single forcings for wavenumber 3 in different model runs we are able to separate the solar and nonlinear forcing contribution. The simulations suggest that solar forcing is the maj...

The FisherPoets Gathering is an annual event where expressive art performed exposes the explicit and implicit gender dynamics of the occupation of commercial fishing. Through these performances, women tackle gender issues that bridge the gap between the fishing industry and the event. Through performance and interactions with fellow female FisherPoets, the women validate themselves as fishermen and comment on the behavior of their male colleagues. These performance-based expressive art forms ena...

There is a growing movement of indignation around the world that is calling out injustice and developing creative strategies to stand up to power and change the world. These are sparks that have flared up in the Arab spring, the occupy movement, idle no more, massive strikes in South Africa, environmental protests and many more. A growing body of literature suggests that movements such as these are not isolated instances but a growing global movement, despite what the mainstream media suggests ...

The wintertime deepwater exchange in a silled fjord is described. Bottom-water renewal took place in the third year of the study, 1984/85. Hydraulic control of the exchange was consistent with the observations. This control is exerted over the long sill, which restricts access to the fjord. The maximum density at the sill was observed during neap tides. No distinct peaks in the velocity at the sill were observed during the inflows. During each inflow, associated with a neap tide, about 20% of th...

George MacDonald is known now chiefly for his fantasies and fairy tales. His poetry has been largely ignored of recent years, in part because of his mainly devotional subject-matter, but even more because of his prolix and undistinguished style. Though he was a skilful translator, and, when emo­tionally aroused, handled his native Scots vernacular with simplicity and grace, poems of this kind are in the minority in the MacDonald canon.<p> Another major objection to his poetry is that it is too u...

The terdiurnal tide (TDT) in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere has been simulated with a 3D mechanistic circulation model of the middle atmosphere. The tidal temperature amplitude shows a clear seasonal cycle with peaks in the midlatitudes and near the equator at equinox. Under solstice conditions maximum amplitudes occur at 10° in the summer hemisphere and at 30-40° latitude in the winter hemisphere. The vertical wavelengths are large at midlatitudes and small at the equator with about 15 k...

Tide-topography coupling is important for understanding surface-tide energy loss, the intermittency of internal tides, and the cascade of internal-tide energy from large to small scales. Although tide-topography coupling has been observed and modeled for 50 years, the identification of surface and internal tides over arbitrary topography has not been standardized. Here, we begin by examining five surface/internal-tide decompositions and find that only one is (i) consistent with the normal-mode d...

The barotropic tide dissipates a well established estimate of 2.5 TW of energy at the M2 frequency. Bottom topography is responsible for part of this dissipation, and the generation of the internal tide is also partly responsible. The fate of this energy is largely described by a cascade from large scales to small scales by non-linear wave-wave interactions where it gets dissipated. This thesis aims to investigate how the presence of mesoscale eddies (vortices) in the ocean affect the interna...

Ensemble calculations for the period from 2000 to 2010 were carried out with the middle and upper atmosphere model (MUAM), and an analysis of the quarterdiurnal tide is performed. The global temporal and latitudinal distributions of the quarterdiurnal tide are modeled with MUAM, and their forcing mechanisms are examined. The quarterdiurnal tides show a similar distribution over the year in the northern and southern hemisphere, with maxima of the amplitude in late winter and spring as well as in ...

The Tide Weavers Project examines the representation of landscape in motion picture films and explores the ways in which certain filmmakers closely reference the desert landscape to mirror and represent notions of self and consequently, to shape film character portrayal. I argue that these filmmakers use this setting to describe a particular relationship for themselves and their characters. In this relationship the desert becomes a space in which to project and examine aspects of self and it can...
