The Turbulent Oscillator: A Mechanism of Low-Frequency Variability of the Ocean
Pavel Berloff
21 May 2007
Intrinsic low-frequency variability is studied in an
idealized model of
midlatitude ocean gyres.
A robust decadal variability mode driven by the transient
mesoscale eddies is
found and
analyzed.
The variability is a turbulent phenomenon, which is driven
by the competition
between
the eddy rectification process and the potential-vorticity
anomalies induced by
changes
of the inter-gyre transport.
The mathematics of the Alhambra.
John Jaworski
11 June 2007
The Alhambra complex in Granada, Spain is a rich treasury of Islamic
design. Alongside a world-wide appreciation of the tilings and
decorations of the Palace, an 'urban myth' has evolved -- that examples
of all of the 17 possible symmetry groups may be found there.
Question: Is that so?
Answer(s): (1) No. (2) Yes if you cheat. (3) Yes in one sense.
