Not exact matches

Last December, the Hubble telescope found hints of water vapor venting from Europa's surface, suggesting that the ice surface is thin and dynamic.

The researchers were puzzled by a nonlinear drop in surface water diffusivity — as measured by the Overhauser dynamic nuclear polarization apparatus in the Han lab — as the chemical composition of the silica surface moved from hydrophobic to hydrophilic.

Called STRIDE, for surface tension based robotic insect dynamic explorer, the robots use water's surface tension to amble on their spindly legs exactly like water striders, the insects that motivated the challenge.

Inspired by dynamic shifts in pH due to upwelling — the movement of nutrient - rich water toward the ocean surface — the researchers took urchins from the Santa Barbara Channel and brought them into the lab.

The scientists have discovered that water's ability to flow on the surface of proteins makes them sufficiently dynamic to be biologically active.

The surface algorithm shows the efficiency of the water - energy dynamic to be used in ordination of plant strategies as the input variable mean ground frost frequency is not used to ordinate the strategy here.

Set against the backdrop of a futuristic Earth, Riptide GP features daredevil watercyclists rocketing through canals and rivers across a dynamic, ever changing surface of glittering water.

An exhibition of fifty paintings that trace the country's maritime and seaside history, Reflections on Water in American Painting, pays homage to America's oceans, rivers, lakes, and harbors along with the ships that navigated them, the cities that depended on their steady flow, and the artists who found inspiration in the water's dynamic colors and surfWater in American Painting, pays homage to America's oceans, rivers, lakes, and harbors along with the ships that navigated them, the cities that depended on their steady flow, and the artists who found inspiration in the water's dynamic colors and surfwater's dynamic colors and surfaces.

It changes constantly along a river — supercritical or subcritical flow, standing waves, afflux, cross-section changes, surface roughness, dynamic changes in water stored in reaches.

And older climate models did not include dynamic ice sheet vulnerabilities — like high latent - heat ocean water coming into contact with the submerged faces of sea - fronting glaciers, the ability of surface melt water to break up glaciers by pooling into cracks and forcing them apart (hydrofracturing), or the innate rigidity and frailty of steep ice cliffs which render them susceptible to rapid toppling.

Features of the model described here include the following: (1) tripolar grid to resolve the Arctic Ocean without polar filtering, (2) partial bottom step representation of topography to better represent topographically influenced advective and wave processes, (3) more accurate equation of state, (4) three - dimensional flux limited tracer advection to reduce overshoots and undershoots, (5) incorporation of regional climatological variability in shortwave penetration, (6) neutral physics parameterization for representation of the pathways of tracer transport, (7) staggered time stepping for tracer conservation and numerical efficiency, (8) anisotropic horizontal viscosities for representation of equatorial currents, (9) parameterization of exchange with marginal seas, (10) incorporation of a free surface that accommodates a dynamic ice model and wave propagation, (11) transport of water across the ocean free surface to eliminate unphysical «virtual tracer flux» methods, (12) parameterization of tidal mixing on continental shelves.
