Mechanism of Interannual Cross-Equatorial Overturning Anomalies in the Pacific Ocean
(2021-10-01)The meridional overturning circulation (MOC) transports heat and mass between the tropics and the extratropics. Recent research has shown that the variability of the Indo-Pacific MOC dominates the variability of the global ... -
The bifurcation of periodic orbits and equilibrium points in the linked restricted three-body problem with parameter ω
(AIP Publishing, 2019-10-08)This paper is devoted to the bifurcation of periodic orbits and libration points in the linked restricted three-body problem (LR3BP). Inherited from the classic circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP), it retains ... -
WINDII Observations and WACCM‐X Simulations of High‐Latitude Winds Under Different Solar Radio Flux and Geomagnetic Disturbance Conditions
(American Geophysical Union, 2019-07-04)Thermospheric zonal winds at altitudes of 140 to 250 km are shown to reverse from eastward to strong westward between 100° and 200° in geographic longitude and 60°S to 70°S latitude in the Southern Hemisphere. The reversal ... -
Feasibility of 20 km free-standing inflatable space tower
(British Interplanetary Society, May-10)This paper describes the theory and analysis for the construction of a thin walled inflatable space tower of 20 km vertical extent in an equatorial location on Earth using gas pressure. The suborbital tower of 20 km ... -
A free-standing space elevator structure: a practical alternative to the space tether
(Elsevier, 2009-04-19)Space tethers have been investigated widely as a means to provide easy access to space. However, the design and construction of such a device presents significant unsolved technological challenges. We propose an alternative ...
