On the contribution of Rossby waves driven by surface buoyancy fluxes to low-frequency North Atlantic steric sea surface height variations [PDF]
Previous studies have shown that wind-forced baroclinic Rossby waves can capture a large portion of low-frequency steric SSH variations in the North Atlantic. In this paper, we extend the classical wind-driven Rossby wave model derived in a 1.5 layer ocean to include surface buoyancy forcing, and then use it to assess the contribution from buoyancy ...

Improving Transparency in IDIQ Contracts: A Comparison of Common Procurement Issues Affecting Economies Across the Atlantic and Suggested Solutions [PDF]
Expansions in the size and scope of public procurement across the Atlantic have increased calls for accountability of democratic governments. Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts by their very nature are less transparent but serve as major tools of public procurement in both the European and American economies. This paper utilizes a cross-
