Equatorial plasma bubbles resulting from equatorial spread urn:x-wiley:jgra:media:jgra55597:jgra55597-math-0002 are well known to be aligned along the Earth's geomagnetic fields. During the geomagnetic storm on 17 March 2015, all‐sky airglow observations from Tirunelveli (8.7°N, 77.8°E, 1.7°N dip latitude) showed an apparent interhemispheric asymmetry in the tilt of the equatorial plasma bubbles. ...

Solvents constitute the largest component for many chemical processes and substitution of nonrenewable solvents is a longstanding goal for green chemistry. Here, we show that Pd-catalyzed carbonylative couplings, such as carbonylative cross-couplings, aminocarbonylations, and alkoxycarbonylations, can be successfully realized using renewable solvents. The present research covers not only well-established ...

We develop a new scheme for evaluating different molecular integrals using Gaussian type orbitals. In this new scheme, the evaluation of integrals is performed in two steps during runtime. The first step is a top-down procedure that maps each recurrence relation into a jagged array (array of arrays), where each element of a member array represents either the final results or some intermediate integrals ...

Synthetic aperture radar systems perform signal acquisition under varying incidence angles and register an implicit intensity decay from near to far range. Owing to the geometrical interaction between microwaves and the imaged targets, the rates at which intensities decay depend on the nature of the targets, thus rendering single-rate image correction approaches only partially successful. The decay, ...

Uplift and erosion are complex phenomena in terms of their governing processes, precise timing and exact magnitude. The intricate relationship between different geodynamic processes leading to uplift may increase uncertainties in estimating spatial and temporal patterns. Sediment distribution from uplifted (and eroded) topography and the corresponding paleoenvironmental reconstructions require ...

To date the final stage in deglaciation of the Greenland shelf, when a contiguous ice sheet margin on the inner shelf transitioned to outlet glaciers in troughs with intervening ice-free areas, we generated cosmogenic ¹⁰Be dates from bedrock knobs on six outlying islands along a stretch of 300 km of the southwestern Greenland coast. Despite ¹⁰Be inheritance influencing some ...

The Svalbard margin, in the eastern Fram Strait with its high sediment accumulation, form a key area for the reconstruction of water mass and heat exchange between the North Atlantic and Arctic Ocean in relation to abrupt climate changes as seen in glacial Greenland Interstadial and Greenland Stadial (GI‐GS) events. Here, we present a bottom water temperature (BWT) record from the northern Nordic ...

Understanding changes in Antarctic ice shelf basal melting is a major challenge for predicting future sea level. Currently, warm Circumpolar Deep Water surrounding Antarctica has limited access to the Weddell Sea continental shelf; consequently, melt rates at Filchner‐Ronne Ice Shelf are low. However, large‐scale model projections suggest that changes to the Antarctic Slope Front and the coastal ...

In this thesis, methods to support high level situation awareness in ship navigators through appropriate automation are investigated. Situation awareness relates to the perception of the environment (level 1), comprehension of the situation (level 2), and projection of future dynamics (level 3). Ship navigators likely conduct mental simulations of future ship traffic (level 3 projections), that ...

The Encruzilhada Block lies between the eastern hinterland and western foreland of the Dom Feliciano Belt (southern Brazil) and its tectonic meaning in the orogenic evolution of the belt is still poorly understood. Its low magnetic signal is similar to that of the foreland supracrustal sequences, whereas the high gammaspectrometric signal appears due to the hinterland post-collisional granitoids. ...
