OBS

Luckily, the Federal government realizes the needs for graduate level study, that's why it suggests the Stafford Loans program in order to supply a diversity of graduate student loans. You should complete a free application for student assistance(FAFSA loan) and then make a decision which loan path to follow. Stafford graduate student loans are managed by the graduate schools to which you are appealing, but they are given by the government. One of the greatest benefits of Stafford graduate student loan is the fact that you will be permitted a half-year grace period that follows your graduation before you should begin your payments. If the government chooses your application, they supply you with a list of their accepted creditors. Only students who have not neglected on other loans are eligible for this kind of loan. If your income is too low, you may pretend to your graduate student loans financed by the government. It means that when you are entered in graduate school, you will not be accountable for the interest on your lend. If your income level is high enough, the interest on your loans will be joined to the principal which you should to pay off.

Subject field(s)
  • Oceanography
DEF

One of the western boundary currents of the North Pacific subtropical gyre.

OBS

A deep, narrow, and swift current, it continues from the Philippines Current in a northeastward direction from Taiwan along the continental rise of the East China Sea, through Tokara Strait, and close to the eastern coast of Japan. At 35°N it separates from the coast and flows eastward into the Pacific as a free jet known as the Kuroshio Extension. It forms a marked temperature and salinity front with the Oyashio, which meets the Kuroshio Extension from the north and then flows parallel to it. Like all other western boundary currents, the Kuroshio develops instabilities and sheds eddies. Its unique characteristic is that south of Honshu it switches between three quasi-stable paths across the Izu Ridge at irregular intervals of 18 months to several years. Volume transport in the Kuroshio increases downstream and reaches 57 Sv... in the Kuroshio Extension, increasing seasonally by 15% during summer. The current's path in the extension is characterized by large meridional excursions in the so-called First and Second Crest at 145° and 152°E. On approaching the Shatsky Rise at 157°E, the Kuroshio Extension divides into several paths that tend to recombine before the Emperor Seamounts near 170°E cause the current to split again and disintegrate. The flow then continues as the North Pacific Current.

OBS

Black Stream: It’s also sometimes known as the Black Stream-the English translation of kuroshio, and an allusion to the deep blue of its water-and also as the Japan Current.

DEF

Courant océanique se mouvant vers le nord-est de Formose à Riukiu et près de la côte du Japon aussi loin que la latitude de 35 degrés nord.

Il débute dans l'ouest de l'océan Pacifique au large de la côte orientale de Taiwan et se dirige vers les eaux au nord-est du Japon où il fusionne avec la dérive orientale du courant du Nord Pacifique. Il a un rôle analogue à celui du Gulf Stream dans l'océan Atlantique, transportant des eaux chaudes tropicales vers le Nord et les régions polaires.

OBS

Ce courant est aussi appelé courant du Japon ou courant Noir, la traduction littérale du japonais kuroshio, allusion à la couleur bleu sombre de ses eaux.

Subject field(s)
  • Weather Stations and Meteorological Instruments and Equipment
DEF

Free balloon whose path while moving upwards is visually observed in order to measure upper winds.

CONT

One expedient method for determining the winds aloft entails the launching and tracking of a pilot balloon, also known as a pibal. The name for these balloons that do not carry instruments apparently came from their use during the 19th century when they were launched prior to manned balloon ascents to help guide or "pilot" the manned balloons. The brightly colored helium filled balloon rises at a known ascent rate. However, the balloon is carried horizontally with the wind. Since the assumption is made that the balloon serves as a tracer of the wind, the horizontal motion of the balloon over measured time intervals can be used to determine the wind speed. An observer visually tracks the motion of the balloon with an instrument called a theodolite and records the elevation and azimuth angles at timed intervals. The sequence of observed elevation and azimuth information are plotted on a plotting board to obtain the balloon motion. The wind speed and direction at each selected level are determined. Wind observations may be limited by low cloud ceilings that obscure the balloon.

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
DEF

A silent non-luminous electrical discharge from a pointed conductor maintained at a potential different from that of the surrounding gas.

CONT

In the atmosphere, trees and other grounded objects with points and protuberances may, in disturbed weather, be sources of point discharge current. Close to a pointed and grounded conductor that extends above surrounding objects, the local electric field strength may be many times greater than that existing at the same level far from the elevated conductor. When this local field reaches such a value that a free electron, finding itself acted upon by this field, can be accelerated(in one mean free path) to a sufficiently high velocity to ionize neutral air molecules, point discharge will begin. Different structures will yield point discharge under quite different gross field conditions, for geometry is critically important. Point discharge is recognized as a major process of charge transfer between electrified clouds and the earth, and is a leading item in the charge balance of the global electrical circuit.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Phénomènes météorologiques, climatiques et atmosphériques
DEF

Décharge électrique silencieuse et non lumineuse émanant d'un conducteur à pointe maintenu à un potentiel différent de celui du gaz environnant.

CONT

Lors des orages, le champ électrique est inversé par rapport à son état habituel. Sa norme est en moyenne de 10 à 15 kV/m environ. Ce champ peut être fortement modifié par le relief : ce n'est donc qu'une valeur moyenne. Au voisinage des pointes (clochers, arbres, paratonnerres...) le champ peut atteindre des valeurs de l'ordre de 100 kV/m! Cette intensification du champ électrique au voisinage des pointes s'appelle l'effet de pointe.

OBS

Dans l'atmosphère, les arbres et autres objets mis à la masse et pourvus de pointes et de protubérances peuvent être source de courant de décharge de pointe.

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics
DEF

Mean distance of travel analogous to the mean free path of a molecule, characteristic of a particular motion and over which an eddy maintains its identity.

CONT

mixing length [is] a concept used in the parameterization of turbulent transport processes. According to this model, fluid masses called eddies, distinguishable from the ambient fluid, spring into existence in some undefined way and then, after moving unchanged over a certain path length, become indistinguishable from the surrounding fluid. This path length, over which the eddy mixes with the surrounding fluid, is called the mixing length. This model is analogous to the mean free path of a molecule or atom between collisions.

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric Physics

  • Space Physics
DEF

Lowest level in the atmosphere at which the mean free path of the gas particles is long enough for them to travel appreciable distances without suffering a collision; some of the particles are then able to escape from the Earth's gravitational field if travelling at a sufficient speed.

CONT

The base of the exosphere is called the critical level of escape because, in the absence of collisions, lighter, faster-moving atoms such as hydrogen and helium may attain velocities that allow them to escape the planet’s gravitational field. Most molecules, however, have velocities considerably lower than the escape velocity, so their rate of escape to outer space is quite low.

OBS

Critical level of escape... is also the level at which the horizontal mean free path of atmospheric particle equals the scale height of the atmosphere.

OBS

The height of the critical level, which can vary from 500 to 1000 km, is strongly dependent on the temperature of the upper thermosphere, and varies diurnally and with the level of solar activity.

OBS

This level marks the base of the exosphere.

Niveau de l'atmosphère à partir duquel le libre parcours moyen des molécules de gaz est assez grand pour leur permettre un déplacement appréciable sans collision; certaines peuvent donc s'échapper du champ gravitationnel terrestre si elles se déplacent à une vitesse suffisante.

CONT

L'exosphère est la dernière couche d'atmosphère terrestre qui se situe au-dessus de la thermosphère. Cette couche se définie comme la région de l'atmosphère où les collisions entre particules sont rares, considérées comme négligeables. Les atomes s'y comportent librement, certains s'échappent même dans l'espace. La base de l'exosphère (l'exobase) se situe entre 350 et 800 km d'altitude suivant la température à la thermopause, qui est liée à l'activité solaire. L'hélium et l'hydrogène y sont les éléments prépondérants. Elle s'étend jusqu'à la limite extrême de l'atmosphère, soit 50 000 kilomètres. On ne trouve plus là que quelques atomes d'hydrogène.

Collisionless shock structure and its effect on electron acceleration....
