(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-12-18)Bioaerosols are ubiquitous in the atmosphere and may have important impacts on human health, cloud formation, the hydrological cycles and biogeochemical cycles. Measuring and characterizing bioaerosols remains a challenge ... -
Complex Network and Dynamical System Approaches to Climate Science
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-04-15)The exponential growth of climate data combined with advances in machine learning offers new opportunities to understand the climate system and its response to external forcings. This thesis explores and proposes data ... -
DYNAMICAL IMPACT OF THE MEKONG RIVER PLUME IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021-05-04)Near the ocean surface, river plumes influence stratification, buoyancy and transport of biological tracers, nutrients and pollutants. The extent to which river plumes influence the overall circulation, however, is generally ... -
Microcat, Aquadopp, and ADCP, data from the eastern mid-Atlantic ridge mooring array as part of OSNAP (Overturning in the Subpolar North Atlantic Program) from 2014-2018
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2021)The University of Miami's OSNAP (Overturning in the subpolar North Atlantic Program) is an NSF funded project that is part of the international OSNAP array put in place to measure the full depth, basin-wide overturning ... -
LARGE SCALE HIGH-FREQUENCY SEISMIC WAVEFIELD RECONSTRUCTION, ACQUISITION VIA RANK MINIMIZATION AND SPARSITY-PROMOTING SOURCE ESTIMATION
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-11-30)Seismic data reconstruction on a dense periodic grid from seismic data acquired on a coarse grid is a common approach followed by most of the oil & gas companies. This approach allows them to save on operationally challenging ... -
Plasma Interaction Signatures of Plumes at Europa
