Natalie Murillo:”Tsunamis and Coastal Homes” Research Room: 236 At the bottom of the ocean there seems to be a crack on the floor and causes an earthquake. What happens after that? Well the thing that happens after there is a crack at the bottom of the ocean that causes an earthquake is something called a tsunami. A tsunami is when a series of waves that are made in big bodies of water like a lake and river or the ocean. Tsunamis can make a lot of damage to coastlines

direction it is going to be headed, to how it is categorized. The group that preforms all forecasting for tropical cyclone activity is the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and they cover the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins throughout North America. To start it begins with visual observations of the hurricane using reconnaissance airplanes, satellites, ships, buoys, radars, and an assortment of land-based equipment. Likewise, most of the storm’s projected path and

practical implementation of performance analysis through biographical sketches. The firsts story by Charlotte Donaldson describes the effect of performance analysis in the banking sector. In this story, Donaldson describes how she utilized early forms of data collecting computes to evaluate the training process for workers in the bank. In this mode Donaldson proposes that (1) the performance analyst must “talk to the stars” as examples of

Hurricane Ike: Part I Hurricane Ike was a very large, powerful tropical cyclone that formed in the Atlantic Ocean in September of 2008. Ike was especially remarkable due to its extremely large size, very large wind field, and damaging flood surge. Ike made landfall in several different areas, making its affects felt in more than one area. The main areas affected by Ike was parts of the Greater Antilles and North America, especially Texas. Ike’s track started off the coast of Africa, crossed the

measure the speed of temperature change? How would you expect the speed of change to vary with habitat volume? Are water temperatures different than air temperatures? How are they different? Are there any cyclical patterns in the temperature-logged data (“time series”) from Angel? If so, what do you think caused these repeating patterns? Based on the results of this exercise, how might you

operating on a similar system? Scientists began to search for additional information, older information, which would lend credence to their theory. This information is known as proxy data. Proxy data exists in tree rings, ice cores, sediment cores, historical data, fossilized pollen, and coral (i). This data is not a direct indication of carbon dioxide or temperature, but a study of elements that have existed on our planet long before the wide usage of instruments to record information. Utilizing

Abstract The observations of Hurricane Katrina are examined by several data assimilations and forecast experiments from the Geostationary Operational Environment Satellite (GOES) rapid-scan (RS) wind observations. The satellites tracks cloud motions from a five minute images and intervals. During the observations, operational forecast are supplemented, with the inclusion that errors are reduced in Katrina landfall positions. From the eighty-four to one hundred and twenty hour marks that the large

In Australia, CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research, known as CMAR, is a leading center. In 1921 the International Hydrographic Bureau (IHB) was formed in Monaco. Ocean currents (1911) In 1893, Fridtjof Nansen allowed his ship "Fram" to be frozen in the Arctic ice. As a result he was able to obtain oceanographic data as well as meteorological and astronomical data. The first international
