Working with the University of New South Wales, scientists have developed a computer model which uses
past wave observations and beach assessments to forecast the erosion and / or accretion of beach sediments over the coming year.

By validating model results against geological
observations, the study indicates that changes in runoff, sea level and
wave energy have profoundly affected the
past evolution of the Great Barrier Reef not only in regard to reefs evolution but also sediment fate from source - to - sink.
And in a preprint paper we submitted immediately after Advanced LIGO's February 2016 announcement of its first gravitational -
wave discovery (https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05234)-- published this
past March — we noted that it had probably detected the merging of such PBHs and estimated the rate of events expected in our scenario, which seems to agree with more recent
observations.
A statistical analysis of the
observations shows that the probability of observing such a heat
wave has more than doubled over the
past 37 years in most of the affected region.
In
past observations, gigantic galaxies deeply covered in dust, where several hundreds to thousands of stars are actively forming per year, have been detected with millimeter / submillimeter
waves.
As the paper says «We suggest that the stadium
wave hypothesis holds promise in putting in perspective the numerous
observations of climate behavior; offers potential attribution and predictive capacity; and that through use of its associated proxies, may facilitate investigation of
past behavior that may better inform our view of future behavior.
The stadium
wave holds promise in putting into perspective numerous
observations of climate behavior, such as regional patterns of decadal variability in drought and hurricane activity, the researchers say, but a complete understanding of
past climate variability and projections of future climate change requires integrating the stadium -
wave signal with external climate forcing from the sun, volcanoes and anthropogenic forcing.
A statistical analysis of the
observations shows that the probability of observing such a heat
wave has more than doubled over the
past 37 years in most of the affected region.
Dessler made a fascinating
observation of cloud feedbacks in some of the models he looked at in - A determination of the cloud feedback from climate variations over the
past decade, A.E. Dessler, Science 330, 1523 (2010); DOI 10.1126 / science.1192546 He writes, The sign of the short -
wave feedback shows more variation among models; it is positive in five of the models and negative in three.
