Analytical and numerical studies were made of single point moorings of a large disc buoy in deep water. Waves of different frequencies and winds of different magnitudes were imposed on moorings of different scopes for nylon ropes. The numerical model results compared favorably with analytical solutions for a straight vibrating string and the buoy motion was validated with the results from a hydraulic model study.

The erosion and subsequent mixing to the environment of the updraft of mesoscale convective clouds is examined and modeled as a mechanism for the thermal modification of the cloud environment.

This paper presents results of a comprehensive study of relationship between the movement of tropical cyclones and the large-scale circulation which surrounds them.

An analysis is carried out which considers the relationship of orbit mechanics to the satellite navigation problem, in particular, meteorological satellites.

The phenomenon of vacillation in a rotating annulus is studied as a possible analogue for the atmospheric index cycle.

A series of studies was conducted at several arctic locations to determine the relationship between cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) and ice nuclei (IN) and the pollutant aerosol.
