Spatial Patterns of Shallow Clouds: Challenging the Concept of Defined Regimes

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters
Tropical shallow clouds are a major source of uncertainty in Earth's climate sensitivity, especially through their spatial arrangement, which global climate models do not represent.

Simulating the Impacts of Deep Geothermal Development on Shallow Hydrothermal Resources in a Rocky Mountain Rift Valley

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerical modeling has been widely used to assess the feasibility of geothermal energy development at sites across the world, but modeling applications simulating the potential impacts on shallow hydrothermal resources and surface water are relatively scarce. In this study, we apply the MODFLOW 6 groundwater energy (GWE) code to simulate fully

Shallow convection in orographic precipitation

open access: yes, 2004
Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Washington, 2004An investigation into the dynamics of shallow orographic convection is performed through observations and numerical simulations using a cloud-resolving mesoscale model.

Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage: Groundwater for Efficient Data Center Cooling in the United States

open access: yesGroundwater, EarlyView.
As the demand for data centers continues to rise exponentially, there is an urgent need to explore sustainable and efficient alternatives to conventional cooling systems for data centers. This article explores aquifer thermal energy storage as a technically viable and underutilized solution for data center cooling in the United States.

A matter of timing: sagebrush steppe restoration seeding outcomes altered by species responses to warmer spring temperatures and interannual weather variation

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration outcomes in cold desert ecosystems like sagebrush steppe are affected by weather variability, particularly during the spring, a critical time period for seedling establishment. Seedling emergence phenology is also highly variable among species in these ecosystems.

Bed‐scale quantitative discrimination of hyperpycnites from intrabasinal turbidites—Results from a channelised slope system in the Upper Carboniferous Westward Ho! Formation, United Kingdom

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Features considered indicative of hyperpycnites and intrabasinal turbidites overlap. Outcrop study presented here suggests that the Westward Ho! Formation forms an 800 m high deepwater‐slope system dominated by hyperpycnites. Taking this unit, and other successions where hyperpycnites have been described, as having been deposited solely from ...

Dispersion of material by wind and tide in shallow seas

open access: yes, 2000
Mixing processes in shallow seas are of particular importance in the dispersion of pollution (e.g. oil slicks) as well as in the distribution of sediment and biological material (e.g. phytoplankton and fish larvae). This study aims to further investigate

Fault‐Controlled Permeability: A Key Parameter in Geothermal Electricity Production Assessment

open access: yesTerra Nova, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geothermal energy is central to the global green energy transition, but its development has long focused on regions with positive thermal anomalies. Through a semi‐quantitative global‐scale review and spatial analysis of 361 geothermal sites, we show that 56.2% of global geothermal electricity production occurs in regions with thermal ...

Advances in Floating Solar Desalination Systems

open access: yesWater and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
This review critically classifies floating solar desalination systems into five main categories and compares their thermal performance, productivity and technological limitations. Membrane‐based and multieffect systems showed the highest efficiencies, while traditional designs remain limited by heat losses and scaling.

Finite element convection models: comparison of shallow and deep mantle convection, and temperatures in the mantle

open access: yes, 1979
A Finite Element Method for solving the convection problem in a fluid with position-dependent Newtonian viscosity is developed, using bicubic and biquadratic spline functions on a rectangular grid.
