This paper discusses the advantages and disadvantages of exposure data
for cat-modeling and considers concepts of scale as well as the
completeness of data and data scoring using field/model examples.
Catastrophe modeling based on exposure data has been considered the
panacea for insurance-related cat modeling since the late 1980's.
Reasons for th...
Venice Lagoon is suffering from a deficit in sediment supply, which results in the progressive destruction of salt marshes and tidal flats [Consorzio Venezia Nuova, 1996]. Nevertheless, some of the intertidal areas are accreting showing morphological changes, which are in contrast with the general trend within the Lagoon. The morphological evolutio...
p>The work described in this thesis is an investigation of the stability of the global thermohaline circulation in an intermediate complexity ocean model. It involves an exploration of the parameter space, to understand the sensitivity of the global THC to several factors under different freshwater forcing regimes.
I used the GOLDSTEIN (Global Oce...
Climate change and climate prediction are very important issues of the modern society. In particular the ocean, with its thermohaline circulation (THC), plays an important role in buffering and redistributing the heat on our planet. Therefore the sensitivity of the global THC to atmospheric and oceanic factors is of great interest. For our simulati...
Abrupt variations of the past climate may well be linked to different pattern of the ther- mohaline circulation (THC). The sensitivity of the THC to atmospheric and oceanic factors is therefore of interest. Effects on the THC of both Atlantic-to-Pacific moisture transport and Bering Strait's throughflow are studied using a frictional-geostrophic, t...
A reduced physics (frictional geostrophic) 3-D ocean model is coupled to a 2-D energy-moisture balance of the atmosphere. On a coarse idealized global grid, the coupled model is sufficiently fast to carry out a wide range of sensitivity experiments or to routinely perform multi-millenial integrations. It has been suggested that past abrupt changes...
