Professor Dan Lunt, from the School of Geographical Sciences and Cabot Institute at the University of Bristol said: «Because climate models are based on fundamental scientific processes, they are able not only to simulate the climate of the modern Earth, but can
also be easily adapted to simulate any planet, real or imagined, so long as the underlying continental positions and
heights, and
ocean depths are known.»
Retroactively, the models accurately predicted the seafloor uplift seen in the earthquake, which is directly related to tsunami wave
heights, and
also simulated sound waves that propagated within the
ocean.
The model
also counters another argument against
oceans: that the proposed shorelines are very irregular, varying in
height by as much as a kilometer, when they should be level, like shorelines on Earth.
Hatun et al.
also used altimeter data (local sea level
height measurements from satellite observations) to diagnose the norther
oceans gyre circulation.
The second is what is termed as «steric change» — a scientific phrase that both identifies
ocean thermal expansion due to warming combined with changes in
ocean salinity, which
also impacts sea surface
height.
NMAT data are
also corrected for the progressive increase in the
height of thermometer screens on ships above the
ocean surface, though no corrections have been made since 1930.
To maximize natural light, the designers bypassed upper cabinetry in favor of a reflective ceramic tile backsplash and a trio of windows; they
also opted for double -
height windows (all by Marvin) on the
ocean side.
