Show does begin at 10pm, doors open at 9. The show features an eclectic mix of ~10 performers ranging from Arial stunts to classic opera. The flow of the shows keeps your attention jumping from each corner of the room for a solid hour (with a brief intermission) of entertainment. The performers hang around after to take pictures/chat with attendees in the venue. A fun night!

She has also been nominated for three Oscars for her roles in "Broadcast News," "The Firm," and "Thirteen." She won two Emmy Awards for her work in the original movies "Roe vs. Wade" and "The Positively True Adventures of the Alleged Texas Cheerleader-Murdering Mom," while receiving four additional Emmy nominations for "Harlan County War," "The Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her," "When Billie Beat Bobby," and most recently, "Saving Grace."

WATCH: Super Mario And The Batali Bros Mock Jimmy Fallon's Golf Skills
by Tina Nguyen | 9:41 am, June 13th, 2013
To promote their newest cookbook, the Sons of Batali (which kind of sounds like an Italian fraternal organization) appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday, armed with recipes for sloppy joes, Italian corn, and strawberry lemonade, their dad Mario Batali, and an embarrassing video of Jimmy Fallon sucking really, really badly at golf. How bad was it? Even perennial nice guy Michael J. Fox, who was also a guest on the show, was laughed at Fallon's 17-stroke hole.
It's obvious that Batali taught the boys very well. (Fallon: "So what is parmesan cheese?" Leo, muttering shyly: "The king of cheeses.") See them in action below.

Hotel La Pace - Pontedera
The town of Pontedera in Italy is home to La Pace 3 star city hotel Pisa Pontedera. In the region of Tuscany, La Pace Hotel has recently undergone a complete renovation with all new features designed with guest comfort and relaxation in mind. Just 200 meters from the railway station and located close to the major road networks in the area, the Pisa city break hotel in Tuscany is perfect, whether you are in the city on business or for leisure. The hotel's home is the historical city of Pontedera, and this location makes it very close to the town's main shopping thoroughfare, cafes and restaurants - all perfect to add that extra bit of je ne sais quoi to your holiday.
Things to do!
The town of Pontedera is a good starting point for your exploration of the region. Its strategic location means you can enjoy many day trips to the bigger cities of the region such as Pisa, Florence and Siena, and explore the famous sights and sounds of Tuscany. The region is famous for its beautiful landscapes, cuisine and as the birthplace of the Italian Renaissance. Tuscany is, of course, famous for its art. Visit the medieval town of Siena and walk through its narrow maze of winding streets and alleyways at Piazza del Campo. Of course you must pay a visit to the world famous Tower of Pisa. There are many attractions in the area surrounding the tower, but once you have made the effort to go to Pisa, you must give climbing the tower a go.
It is advisable to book the climb in advance as the wait in line can be rather long and tiring, especially in the midday Tuscan sun. The experience of climbing the tower is not for the faint-hearted or for those afraid of heights or enclosed spaces. But it is well worth the climb for the views of the city you see, once you reach the top. Not just another tower in Italy but a unique and beautiful experience that most be tried at least once in a lifetime. Next to Florence, this beautiful renaissance city lies right in the heart of Tuscany. Full of history, art and culture, it is hard to choose just one thing to do while in the city.
Bridges and squares!
From Ponte Vecchio to Piazza della Signoria, the possibilities are endless. While in Florence you should also pay a visit to the world famous Uffizi Gallery. The Uffizi Gallery is most famous and oldest museum in the Western World and houses many famous pieces, including The Birth of Venus by Botticelli and Madonna in Sorrow by Giovanni Battista Salvi da Sassoferrato. When you have finished viewing the masterpieces that are on display in the Uffizi, why not take a stroll down to Galleria della'Accademia and feast your eyes on the impressive statue of David by Michelangelo?
This wonderful masterpiece is truly a must-see during your visit to the city, but again, just like the Uffizi Museum it is important to get there early in order to enjoy the whole experience. When you are in Italy you must dine like a king and eat some of the best pasta, bread, gelato, pastries and vegetables that only the Italians know how to produce. For those guests who are watching their figures they will be relieved to hear that unlike Roma and Southern Italy, Tuscan cuisine is based on simplicity. Plenty of vegetables and fresh fruit are included in many dishes, along with fine cuts of fresh beef from the Chiana Valley.

A high-order adaptive time-stepping TVD solver for Boussinesq modeling of breaking waves and coastal inundationFengyan Shi | James T. Kirby | Jeffrey C. Harris | Joseph D. Geiman | Stephan T. Grilli
Volume 43-44, Issue , January 2012, Pages 36-51
We present a high-order adaptive time-stepping TVD solver for the fully nonlinear Boussinesq model of Chen (2006), extended to include moving reference level as in Kennedy et al. (2001). The equations are reorganized in order to facilitate high-order Runge-Kutta time-stepping and a TVD type scheme with a Riemann solver. Wave breaking is modeled by locally switching to the nonlinear shallow water equations when the Froude number exceeds a certain threshold. The moving shoreline boundary condition is implemented using the wetting-drying algorithm with the adjusted wave speed of the Riemann solver. The code is parallelized using the Message Passing Interface (MPI) with non-blocking communication. Model validations show good performance in modeling wave shoaling, breaking, wave runup and wave-averaged nearshore circulation. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Parameterization of mixed layer eddies. III: Implementation and impact in global ocean climate simulationsB. Fox-Kemper | G. Danabasoglu | R. Ferrari | S. M. Griffies | R. W. Hallberg | M. M. Holland | M. E. Maltrud | S. Peacock | B. L. Samuels

A parameterization for the restratification by finite-amplitude, submesoscale, mixed layer eddies, formulated as an overturning streamfunction, has been recently proposed to approximate eddy fluxes of density and other tracers. Here, the technicalities of implementing the parameterization in the coarse-resolution ocean component of global climate models are made explicit, and the primary impacts on model solutions of implementing the parameterization are discussed. Three global ocean general circulation models including this parameterization are contrasted with control simulations lacking the parameterization. The MLE parameterization behaves as expected and fairly consistently in models differing in discretization, boundary layer mixing, resolution, and other parameterizations. The primary impact of the parameterization is a shoaling of the mixed layer, with the largest effect in polar winter regions. Secondary impacts include strengthening the Atlantic meridional overturning while reducing its variability, reducing CFC and tracer ventilation, modest changes to sea surface temperature and air-sea fluxes, and an apparent reduction of sea ice basal melting. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
Shock-capturing non-hydrostatic model for fully dispersive surface wave processesGangfeng Ma | Fengyan Shi | James T. Kirby
Volume 43-44, Issue , January 2012, Pages 22-35
This paper describes NHWAVE, a shock-capturing non-hydrostatic model for simulating wave refraction, diffraction, shoaling, breaking and landslide-generated tsunami in finite water depth. The governing equations are the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in conservative form, written in surface and terrain-following form using a σ coordinate. In order to apply a Godunov-type scheme, the velocities are defined at cell centers. The dynamic pressure is defined at vertically facing cell faces so that the pressure boundary condition at free surface can be precisely imposed. The HLL Riemann approximation is employed to estimate fluxes at horizontal cell faces. The nonlinear Strong Stability-Preserving (SSP) Runge-Kutta scheme is used to obtain second-order accuracy in time. The model is validated using seven test cases based on analytical solutions and experimental data. The computed results show that the model can well predict wave propagation over submerged bar, wave refraction and diffraction over an elliptical shoal as well as wave breaking, run-up and longshore current on a plane beach using relatively few (three to five) vertical layers. The model is also shown to provide accurate reproduction of a generated tsunami wave resulting from a solid translating bottom feature. © 2011.
Validation of a thirty year wave hindcast using the Climate Forecast System Reanalysis windsArun Chawla | Deanna M. Spindler | Hendrik L. Tolman
Volume 70, Issue , October 2013, Pages 189-206
A thirty one year wave hindcast (1979-2009) using NCEP's latest high resolution Climate Forecast System Reanalysis (CFSR) wind and ice database has been developed and is presented here. The hindcast has been generated using the third generation wind wave model WAVEWATCH III® with a mosaic of 16 two-way nested grids. The resolution of the grids ranged from 1/2° to 1/15°. Validation results for bulk significant wave height H s and 10m (above Mean Sea Level) wind speeds U10 have been presented using both altimeter records and NDBC buoys. In general the database does a good job of representing the wave climate. At most buoys there is excellent agreement between model and data out to the 99.9th percentile. The agreement at coastal buoys is not as good as the offshore buoys due to unresolved coastal features (topographic/bathymetric) as well as issues related to interpolating wind fields at the land-sea margins. There are some concerns about the wave climate in the Southern Hemisphere due to the over prediction of winds (early part of the database) as well as the lack of wave blocking due to icebergs (in the model). © 2012.

Simulation characteristics from eighteen global ocean-sea-ice coupled models are presented with a focus on the mean Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) and other related fields in the North Atlantic. These experiments use inter-annually varying atmospheric forcing data sets for the 60-year period from 1948 to 2007 and are performed as contributions to the second phase of the Coordinated Ocean-ice Reference Experiments (CORE-II). The protocol for conducting such CORE-II experiments is summarized. Despite using the same atmospheric forcing, the solutions show significant differences. As most models also differ from available observations, biases in the Labrador Sea region in upper-ocean potential temperature and salinity distributions, mixed layer depths, and sea-ice cover are identified as contributors to differences in AMOC. These differences in the solutions do not suggest an obvious grouping of the models based on their ocean model lineage, their vertical coordinate representations, or surface salinity restoring strengths. Thus, the solution differences among the models are attributed primarily to use of different subgrid scale parameterizations and parameter choices as well as to differences in vertical and horizontal grid resolutions in the ocean models. Use of a wide variety of sea-ice models with diverse snow and sea-ice albedo treatments also contributes to these differences. Based on the diagnostics considered, the majority of the models appear suitable for use in studies involving the North Atlantic, but some models require dedicated development effort. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
A global wave parameter database for geophysical applications. Part 2: Model validation with improved source term parameterizationNicolas Rascle | Fabrice Ardhuin
Volume 70, Issue , October 2013, Pages 174-188
A multi-scale global hindcast of ocean waves is presented that covers the years 1994-2012, based on recently published parameterizations for wind sea and swell dissipation [Ardhuin, F., Rogers, E., Babanin, A., Filipot, J.-F., Magne, R., Roland, A., van der Westhuysen, A., Queffeulou, P., Lefevre, J.-M., Aouf, L., Collard, F., 2010. Semi-empirical dissipation source functions for wind-wave models: Part I. Definition, calibration and validation. J. Phys. Oceanogr. 40 (9), 1917-1941]. Results from this hindcast include traditional wave parameters, like the significant wave height and mean periods, and we particularly consider the accuracy of the results for phenomenal sea states, with significant heights above 14. m. Using unbiased winds, there is no evidence of a bias in wave heights even for this very high range. Various spectral moments were also validated, including the surface Stokes drift and mean square slopes that are relevant for wave-current interactions modelling and remote sensing, and also spectra of seismic noise sources. The estimation of these parameters is made more accurate by the new wave growth and dissipation parameterizations. Associated air-sea fluxes of momentum and energy are significantly different from what is obtained with the WAM-Cycle 4 parameterization, with a roughness that is practically a function of wind speed only. That particular output of the model does not appear very realistic and will require future adjustments of the generation and dissipation parameterizations. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Importance of wave age and resonance in storm surges: The case Xynthia, Bay of BiscayXavier Bertin | Nicolas Bruneau | Jean François Breilh | André B. Fortunato | Mikhail Karpytchev
Volume 42, Issue , January 2012, Pages 16-30
This study aims to hindcast and analyze the storm surge associated with Xynthia, a mid-latitude depression that severely hit the French central part of the Bay of Biscay on the 27-28th of February 2010. The main losses in human lives and damages were caused by the associated storm surge, which locally exceeded 1.5. m and peaked at the same time as a high spring tide, causing the flooding of low-lying coasts. A new storm surge modeling system was developed, based on the unstructured-grid circulation model SELFE and the spectral wave model WaveWatchIII. The modeling system was implemented over the North-East Atlantic Ocean and resulted in tidal and wave predictions with errors of the order of 3% and 15%, respectively. The storm surge associated with Xynthia was also well predicted along the Bay of Biscay, with only a slight underestimation of the surge peak by 3-8%. Numerical experiments were then performed to analyze the physical processes controlling the development of the storm surge and revealed firstly that the wind caused most of the water level anomaly through an Ekman setup process. The comparison between a wave-dependant and a quadratic parameterization to compute wind stress showed that the storm surge was strongly amplified by the presence of steep and young wind-waves, related to their rapid development in the restricted fetch of the Bay of Biscay. In the central part of the Bay of Biscay, both observed and predicted water level anomalies at landfall displayed ∼6. h oscillations, with amplitudes of up to 0.2. m (10-20% of the surge peak). An analytical shelf resonance model and numerical experiments demonstrated that the period of the observed oscillations corresponds to the resonant mode of the continental shelf in the central part of the Bay of Biscay. It is concluded that these oscillations originate from the interactions between the water level perturbation and the continental shelf and this phenomenon is expected to be relevant at other places along the world's coastlines. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Two-way nesting in split-explicit ocean models: Algorithms, implementation and validationLaurent Debreu | Patrick Marchesiello | Pierrick Penven | Gildas Cambon
Volume 49-50, Issue , June 2012, Pages 1-21
A full two-way nesting approach for split-explicit, free surface ocean models is presented. It is novel in three main respects: the treatment of grid refinement at the fast mode (barotropic) level; the use of scale selective update schemes; the conservation of both volume and tracer contents via refluxing. An idealized application to vortex propagation on a β plane shows agreement between nested and high resolution solutions. A realistic application to the California Current System then confirm these results in a complex configuration. The selected algorithm is now part of ROMS_AGRIF. It is fully consistent with ROMS parallel capabilities on both shared and distributed memory architectures. The nesting implementation authorizes several nesting levels and several grids at any particular level. This operational capability, combined with the inner qualities of our two-way nesting algorithm and generally high-order accuracy of ROMS numerics, allow for realistic simulation of coastal and ocean dynamics at multiple, interacting scales. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
A multi-resolution approach to global ocean modelingTodd Ringler | Mark Petersen | Robert L. Higdon | Doug Jacobsen | Philip W. Jones | Mathew Maltrud
Volume 69, Issue , September 2013, Pages 211-232
A new global ocean model (MPAS-Ocean) capable of using enhanced resolution in selected regions of the ocean domain is described and evaluated. Three simulations using different grids are presented. The first grid is a uniform high-resolution (15. km) mesh; the second grid has similarly high resolution (15. km) in the North Atlantic (NA), but coarse resolution elsewhere; the third grid is a variable resolution grid like the second but with higher resolution (7.5. km) in the NA. Simulation results are compared to observed sea-surface height (SSH), SSH variance and selected current transports. In general, the simulations produce subtropical and subpolar gyres with peak SSH amplitudes too strong by between 0.25 and 0.40. m. The mesoscale eddy activity within the NA is, in general, well simulated in both structure and amplitude. The uniform high-resolution simulation produces reasonable representations of mesoscale activity throughout the global ocean. Simulations using the second variable-resolution grid are essentially identical to the uniform case within the NA region. The third case with higher NA resolution produces a simulation that agrees somewhat better in the NA with observed SSH, SSH variance and transports than the two 15. km simulations. The actual throughput, including I/O, for the x1-15km simulation is the same as the structured grid Parallel Ocean Program ocean model in its standard high-resolution 0.1° configuration. Our overall conclusion is that this ocean model is a viable candidate for multi-resolution simulations of the global ocean system on climate-change time scales. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Spurious dianeutral mixing and the role of momentum closureMehmet Ilicak | Alistair J. Adcroft | Stephen M. Griffies | Robert W. Hallberg
Volume 45-46, Issue , January 2012, Pages 37-58
This paper examines spurious dianeutral transport within a suite of ocean models (GOLD, MITgcm, MOM, and ROMS). We quantify such transport through a global diagnostic that computes the reference potential energy, whose evolution arises solely through transport between density classes. Previous studies have focused on the importance of accurate tracer advection schemes in reducing the spurious transport and closure. The present study highlights complementary issues associated with momentum transport. Spurious dianeutral transport is shown to be directly proportional to the lateral grid Reynolds number (Re Δ), with such transport significantly reduced when Re Δ<10.Simulations with the isopycnal model GOLD provide a benchmark for the smallest level of spurious dianeutral transport realizable in our model suite. For idealized simulations with a linear equation of state, GOLD exhibits identically zero spurious dianeutral mixing, and thus maintains a constant reference potential energy when all physical mixing processes are omitted. Amongst the non-isopycnal models tested in idealized simulations, ROMS generally produces smaller spurious dianeutral mixing than MITgcm or MOM, since ROMS makes use of a higher order upwind-biased scheme for momentum transport that enforces a small Re Δ. In contrast, MITgcm and MOM both employ unbiased (centered) discretizations of momentum transport, and therefore rely on lateral friction operators to control the grid Reynolds number. We find that a lateral shear-dependent Smagorinsky viscosity provides an effective means to locally reduce Re Δ, and thus to reduce spurious dianeutral transport in MITgcm and MOM. In addition to four idealized simulations, we quantify spurious dianeutral transport in realistic global ocean climate simulations using GOLD and MOM with a realistic equation of state for seawater, both with and without mesoscale eddies in the resolved flow field. The GOLD simulations have detectable levels of spurious cabbeling from along isopycnal advective truncation errors. Significantly larger spurious dianeutral transport arises in a non-eddying MOM simulation. In an eddying MOM simulation, spurious dianeutral transport is larger still but is reduced by increasing momentum friction. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Implementation of the vortex force formalism in the coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system for inner shelf and surf zone applicationsNirnimesh Kumar | George Voulgaris | John C. Warner | Maitane Olabarrieta
Volume 47, Issue , February 2012, Pages 65-95
The coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport modeling system (COAWST) enables simulations that integrate oceanic, atmospheric, wave and morphological processes in the coastal ocean. Within the modeling system, the three-dimensional ocean circulation module (ROMS) is coupled with the wave generation and propagation model (SWAN) to allow full integration of the effect of waves on circulation and vice versa. The existing wave-current coupling component utilizes a depth dependent radiation stress approach. In here we present a new approach that uses the vortex force formalism. The formulation adopted and the various parameterizations used in the model as well as their numerical implementation are presented in detail. The performance of the new system is examined through the presentation of four test cases. These include obliquely incident waves on a synthetic planar beach and a natural barred beach (DUCK' 94); normal incident waves on a nearshore barred morphology with rip channels; and wave-induced mean flows outside the surf zone at the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory (MVCO).Model results from the planar beach case show good agreement with depth-averaged analytical solutions and with theoretical flow structures. Simulation results for the DUCK' 94 experiment agree closely with measured profiles of cross-shore and longshore velocity data from Garcez Faria et al. (1998, 2000). Diagnostic simulations showed that the nonlinear processes of wave roller generation and wave-induced mixing are important for the accurate simulation of surf zone flows. It is further recommended that a more realistic approach for determining the contribution of wave rollers and breaking induced turbulent mixing can be formulated using non-dimensional parameters which are functions of local wave parameters and the beach slope. Dominant terms in the cross-shore momentum balance are found to be the quasi-static pressure gradient and breaking acceleration. In the alongshore direction, bottom stress, breaking acceleration, horizontal advection and horizontal vortex forces dominate the momentum balance. The simulation results for the bar/rip channel morphology case clearly show the ability of the modeling system to reproduce horizontal and vertical circulation patterns similar to those found in laboratory studies and to numerical simulations using the radiation stress representation. The vortex force term is found to be more important at locations where strong flow vorticity interacts with the wave-induced Stokes flow field. Outside the surf zone, the three-dimensional model simulations of wave-induced flows for non-breaking waves closely agree with flow observations from MVCO, with the vertical structure of the simulated flow varying as a function of the vertical viscosity as demonstrated by Lentz et al. (2008). © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

A fully coupled global simulation using the Community Climate System Model (CCSM) was configured using grid resolutions of 0.1° for the ocean and sea-ice, and 0.25° for the atmosphere and land, and was run under present-day greenhouse gas conditions for 20. years. It represents one of the first efforts to simulate the planetary system at such high horizontal resolution. The climatology of the circulation of the atmosphere and the upper ocean were compared with observational data and reanalysis products to identify persistent mean climate biases. Intensified and contracted polar vortices, and too cold sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the subpolar and mid-latitude Northern Hemisphere were the dominant biases produced by the model. Intense category 4 cyclones formed spontaneously in the tropical North Pacific. A case study of the ocean response to one such event shows the realistic formation of a cold SST wake, mixed layer deepening, and warming below the mixed layer. Too many tropical cyclones formed in the North Pacific however, due to too high SSTs in the tropical eastern Pacific. In the North Atlantic anomalously low SSTs lead to a dearth of hurricanes. Agulhas eddy pathways are more realistic than in equivalent stand-alone ocean simulations forced with atmospheric reanalysis. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Physical processes that impact the evolution of global mean sea level in ocean climate modelsStephen M. Griffies | Richard J. Greatbatch
Volume 51, Issue , July 2012, Pages 37-72
This paper develops an analysis framework to identify how physical processes, as represented in ocean climate models, impact the evolution of global mean sea level. The formulation utilizes the coarse grained equations appropriate for an ocean model, and starts from the vertically integrated mass conservation equation in its Lagrangian form. Global integration of this kinematic equation results in an evolution equation for global mean sea level that depends on two physical processes: boundary fluxes of mass and the non-Boussinesq steric effect. The non-Boussinesq steric effect itself contains contributions from boundary fluxes of buoyancy; interior buoyancy changes associated with parameterized subgrid scale processes; and motion across pressure surfaces. The non-Boussinesq steric effect can be diagnosed in either volume conserving Boussinesq or mass conserving non-Boussinesq ocean circulation models, with differences found to be negligible.We find that surface heating is the dominant term affecting sea level arising from buoyancy fluxes, contributing to a net positive tendency to global mean sea level, largely due to low latitude heating and because the thermal expansion coefficient is much larger in the tropics than high latitudes. Subgrid scale effects from parameterized quasi-Stokes transport, vertical diffusion, cabbeling, and thermobaricity are also found to be significant, each resulting in a reduction of global mean sea level. Sea level rise through low latitude heating is largely compensated by a sea level drop from poleward eddy heat transport and ocean mixing. Spatial variations in the thermal expansion coefficient provide an essential modulation of how physical effects from mixing and eddy induced advective transport impact global mean sea level. © 2012 .
How reliable are finite-size Lyapunov exponents for the assessment of ocean dynamics?Ismael Hernández-Carrasco | Cristóbal López | Emilio Hernández-García | Antonio Turiel
Volume 36, Issues 3-4, January 2011, Pages 208-218
Much of atmospheric and oceanic transport is associated with coherent structures. Lagrangian methods are emerging as optimal tools for their identification and analysis. An important Lagrangian technique which is starting to be widely used in oceanography is that of finite-size Lyapunov exponents (FSLEs). Despite this growing relevance there are still many open questions concerning the reliability of the FSLEs in order to analyse the ocean dynamics. In particular, it is still unclear how robust they are when confronted with real data. In this paper we analyze the effect on this Lagrangian technique of the two most important effects when facing real data, namely noise and dynamics of unsolved scales. Our results, using as a benchmark data from a primitive numerical model of the Mediterranean Sea, show that even when some dynamics is missed the FSLEs results still give an accurate picture of the oceanic transport properties. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
The effects of the eddy-induced advection coefficient in a coarse-resolution coupled climate modelRiccardo Farneti | Peter R. Gent
Volume 39, Issues 1-2, March 2011, Pages 135-145
The role of the eddy-induced advection coefficient κ, used in the Gent and McWilliams (1990) parameterisation (GM), is analysed in terms of the response to idealised wind stress perturbation experiments in the GFDL global coupled climate model CM2.1, and compared to solutions with an eddy-permitting version of the same coupled model, CM2.4. The closure implemented in CM2.1 for κ is flow-dependent and includes a maximum limit that caps its value. In this paper, we present simulations with a modified version of CM2.1, where the upper limit for κ is doubled to 1200m2s-1 and the cap to the isopycnal slope Smax in GM is also increased to 1/100 from 1/500. These changes allow their product, κ Smax, which is the upper limit to the effect of parameterised eddies, to be an order of magnitude higher than in the original CM2.1 version. Modifications to both GM parameters result in changes in the mean circulation and overall climatology that are non-negligible, which shows that attention has to be paid to the GM implementation during model development. Increasing the value of κ does produce a stronger compensation between mean and eddy-induced meridional overturning circulations under stronger wind stress forcing, but the residual circulation response is still stronger than in the eddy-permitting model CM2.4. We show that spatially varying κ, both in the horizontal and vertical directions, is necessary for a correct simulation of the response to changes in the wind stress. New and improved closures for κ are needed, and should be tested in coupled climate models. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Wave spectral moments and Stokes drift estimationA. Webb | B. Fox-Kemper
Volume 40, Issues 3-4, October 2011, Pages 273-288
The relationships between the moments of wave spectra and Stokes drift velocity are calculated for empirical spectral shapes and a third-generation wave model. From an assumed spectral shape and only an estimate of wave period and significant wave height, one may determine: the leading-order Stokes drift, other wave period estimates, and all spectral moments. The conversion factors are tabulated for quick reference for the common empirical spectral shapes. The different spectral shapes considered are shown to exhibit similar spectral moment relationships. Using these relationships, uncertainty in Stokes drift may be decomposed into the uncertainty in spectral shape and a much greater uncertainty due to significant wave height and wave period discrepancies among ERA40/WAM, satellite altimetry, and CORE2 reanalysis-forced WAVEWATCH III simulations. Furthermore, using ERA40 or CORE2 winds and assuming fully-developed waves results in discrepancies that are unable to explain the discrepancies in modeled Stokes drift; the assumption of fully-developed waves is likely the culprit. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The Data Interpolating Variational Analysis (DIVA) is a method designed to interpolate irregularly-spaced, noisy data onto any desired location, in most cases on regular grids. It is the combination of a particular methodology, based on the minimisation of a cost function, and a numerically efficient method, based on a finite-element solver. The cost function penalises the misfit between the observations and the reconstructed field, as well as the regularity or smoothness of the field. The method bears similarities to the smoothing splines, where the second derivatives of the field are also penalised. The intrinsic advantages of the method are its natural way to take into account topographic and dynamic constraints (coasts, advection, etc.) and its capacity to handle large data sets, frequently encountered in oceanography. The method provides gridded fields in two dimensions, usually in horizontal layers. Three-dimension fields are obtained by stacking horizontal layers. In the present work, we summarize the background of the method and describe the possible methods to compute the error field associated to the analysis. In particular, we present new developments leading to a more consistent error estimation, by determining numerically the real covariance function in DIVA, which is never formulated explicitly, contrarily to Optimal Interpolation. The real covariance function is obtained by two concurrent executions of DIVA, the first providing the covariance for the second. With this improvement, the error field is now perfectly consistent with the inherent background covariance in all cases. A two-dimension application using salinity measurements in the Mediterranean Sea is presented. Applied on these measurements, Optimal Interpolation and DIVA provided very similar gridded fields (correlation: 98.6%, RMS of the difference: 0.02). The method using the real covariance produces an error field similar to the one of OI, except in the coastal areas. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Physical vs. numerical dispersion in nonhydrostatic ocean modelingSean Vitousek | Oliver B. Fringer
Volume 40, Issue 1, August 2011, Pages 72-86
Many large-scale simulations of internal waves are computed with ocean models solving the primitive (hydrostatic) equations. Under certain circumstances, however, internal waves can represent a dynamical balance between nonlinearity and nonhydrostasy (dispersion), and thus may require computationally expensive nonhydrostatic simulations to be well-resolved. Most discretizations of the primitive equations are second-order accurate, inducing numerical dispersion generated from odd-order terms in the truncation error (3rd-order derivatives and higher). This numerical dispersion mimics physical dispersion due to nonhydrostasy. In this paper, we determine the numerical dispersion coefficient associated with common discretizations of the primitive equations. We compare this coefficient to the physical dispersion coefficient from the Boussinesq equations or KdV equation. The results show that, to lowest order, the ratio of numerical to physical dispersion is Γ=Kλ2, where K is an O(1) constant dependent on the discretization of the governing equations and λ is the grid leptic ratio, λ≡Δx/h1, where Δx is the horizontal grid spacing and h1 is the depth of the internal interface. In addition to deriving this relationship, we verify that it indeed holds in a nonhydrostatic ocean model (SUNTANS). To ensure relative dominance of physical over numerical effects, simulations require Γ≪1. Based on this condition, the horizontal grid spacing required for proper resolution of nonhydrostatic effects is λ
On the coupling of wave and three-dimensional circulation models: Choice of theoretical framework, practical implementation and adiabatic testsAnne Claire Bennis | Fabrice Ardhuin | Franck Dumas
Volume 40, Issues 3-4, October 2011, Pages 260-272
Many theoretical approaches and implementations have been proposed for the coupling of the three-dimensional ocean circulation with waves. The theoretical models are reviewed and it is shown that the formulation in terms of the quasi-Eulerian velocity circumvents the essential difficulty of alternative formulations for the Lagrangian mean velocity. Namely, models based on this Lagrangian velocity require an estimation of wave-induced motions to first order in the horizontal gradients of the wave field in order to estimate the vertical flux of wave pseudo-momentum. So far, only three-dimensional wave models have been able to provide these estimates, and all published theories based on the simpler Airy theory are not consistent at the leading order, because they ignore or incorrectly estimate the vertical momentum flux. With an adiabatic example on a sloping bottom it is shown that this inconsistency produces very large spurious velocities. These errors are independent of the slope for the inviscid case, and are still significant when a realistic vertical mixing is applied. A quick diagnostic of the potential accuracy of a theoretical model is the vertical profile of the wave-induced forcing terms: if it is not uniform over depth in adiabatic conditions then it will produce spurious artificial flow patterns in conditions with shoaling waves. Although conceptually more challenging, the quasi-Eulerian velocity theories only introduce minor modifications of the solution procedure for the standard primitive equations: a modification of the surface boundary condition for the mass conservation, the addition of the Stokes drift in the tracer advection equations, and sources of momentum and turbulent kinetic energy with associated surface and bottom fluxes. All the necessary modifications of primitive equation models are given in detail. This implementation is illustrated with the MARS3D model, which passes the test of the adiabatic shoaling waves. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
The 4-D structure of upwelling and Pearl River plume in the northern South China Sea during summer 2008 revealed by a data assimilation modelYeqiang Shu | Dongxiao Wang | Jiang Zhu | Shiqiu Peng
Volume 36, Issues 3-4, February 2011, Pages 228-241
We analyze four-dimensional structures of upwelling and Pearl River plume in the northern South China Sea (NSCS) during the summer of 2008 based on data assimilation. An Ensemble Kalman Smoother scheme is employed in the Princeton Ocean Model. It is found that the Pearl River plume axis extended eastward along with the surface current and swerved offshore twice near (116°E, 22.6°N) and (117.5°E, 22.8°N) before reaching the Taiwan Strait. The vertical transect of salinity along the plume axis indicates that the Pearl River freshwater could affect salinity distribution down to a depth of 10-20. m. Anomalously warm water is found in the upper layer, which could be attributed to the intensified stratification and suppressed vertical mixing caused by the freshwater of the plume capping the upwelling west of 116°E. The varying winds from upwelling favorable to downwelling favorable could induce a low-salinity water lens at the center of the model domain. Upwelling in the NSCS initially occurred at 114.5°E, to the east of the Pearl River Estuary, intensified eastward, and reached its maximum near Shantou (116.7°E, 23.2°N). Since current-induced upwelling appeared mainly in Shantou due to the widened shelf, it is found that even if the wind-induced upwelling was shut down in Shanwei by downwelling favorable wind on July 4, the upwelling still existed in Shantou. Moreover, because the direction of large-scale current was in favor of upwelling in the NSCS that cannot be reversed by varying local winds over a short time period, the upwelling shutdown time is longer for both wind-induced and current-induced upwelling in Shantou than for mainly wind-induced upwelling in Shanwei. The steeper slope in Shanwei also shortens the upwelling shutdown time there. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Large-scale impacts of submesoscale dynamics on phytoplankton: Local and remote effectsM. Lévy | D. Iovino | L. Resplandy | P. Klein | G. Madec | A. M. Tréguier | S. Masson | K. Takahashi
Volume 43-44, Issue , January 2012, Pages 77-93
The sensitivity of an idealized bio-physical model of seasonally varying subtropical and subpolar gyres to increased horizontal resolution is presented. Switching from mesoscale-resolving (1/9°) to submesoscale-resolving (1/54°) allows the emergence of a denser and more energetic vortex population sustained by submesoscale physics. The experiments display a global decrease in phytoplankton abundance of ~10-20% as the resolution is refined. This result contrasts with previous studies, which suggested that eddy-driven vertical fluxes of nutrients locally boost phytoplankton growth at mid-latitudes in the open ocean. The explanation is that the long-term (50. years) modification of the large-scale, or basin-scale, circulation and distribution of nutrients by submesoscale processes (remote effects), not taken into account by previous studies because of their much shorter time integration, balance the local, small-scale effects. More precisely, dynamical remote effects (involving only the physics) affect the location of the boundary between the two gyres as well as the large-scale mixed-layer depth (MLD) and thermocline depth. Biological remote effects result from the dynamical remote effects that strongly modify the physical-biological interactions at all scales, including at large scales. These biological remote effects involve changes of the nutricline depth. In the mid-latitude subpolar gyre, phytoplankton decrease in abundance at higher resolution is due to the shallower MLD and nutricline, which promote zooplankton grazing; in the subtropical gyre, it is due to deeper MLD and nutricline, which diminishes regenerated production. In addition, remote effects modulate the dynamical supplies of nutrients to the euphotic layer through a combination of changes in mean advection, eddy advection and vertical mixing. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
Ocean-atmosphere dynamics during Hurricane Ida and Nor'Ida: An application of the coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport (COAWST) modeling systemMaitane Olabarrieta | John C. Warner | Brandy Armstrong | Joseph B. Zambon | Ruoying He
Volume 43-44, Issue , January 2012, Pages 112-137
The coupled ocean-atmosphere-wave-sediment transport (COAWST) modeling system was used to investigate atmosphere-ocean-wave interactions in November 2009 during Hurricane Ida and its subsequent evolution to Nor'Ida, which was one of the most costly storm systems of the past two decades. One interesting aspect of this event is that it included two unique atmospheric extreme conditions, a hurricane and a nor'easter storm, which developed in regions with different oceanographic characteristics. Our modeled results were compared with several data sources, including GOES satellite infrared data, JASON-1 and JASON-2 altimeter data, CODAR measurements, and wave and tidal information from the National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) and the National Tidal Database. By performing a series of numerical runs, we were able to isolate the effect of the interaction terms between the atmosphere (modeled with Weather Research and Forecasting, the WRF model), the ocean (modeled with Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS)), and the wave propagation and generation model (modeled with Simulating Waves Nearshore (SWAN)). Special attention was given to the role of the ocean surface roughness. Three different ocean roughness closure models were analyzed: DGHQ (which is based on wave age), TY2001 (which is based on wave steepness), and OOST (which considers both the effects of wave age and steepness). Including the ocean roughness in the atmospheric module improved the wind intensity estimation and therefore also the wind waves, surface currents, and storm surge amplitude. For example, during the passage of Hurricane Ida through the Gulf of Mexico, the wind speeds were reduced due to wave-induced ocean roughness, resulting in better agreement with the measured winds. During Nor'Ida, including the wave-induced surface roughness changed the form and dimension of the main low pressure cell, affecting the intensity and direction of the winds. The combined wave age- and wave steepness-based parameterization (OOST) provided the best results for wind and wave growth prediction. However, the best agreement between the measured (CODAR) and computed surface currents and storm surge values was obtained with the wave steepness-based roughness parameterization (TY2001), although the differences obtained with respect to DGHQ were not significant. The influence of sea surface temperature (SST) fields on the atmospheric boundary layer dynamics was examined; in particular, we evaluated how the SST affects wind wave generation, surface currents and storm surges. The integrated hydrograph and integrated wave height, parameters that are highly correlated with the storm damage potential, were found to be highly sensitive to the ocean surface roughness parameterization. © 2012.
Dispersive tsunami waves in the ocean: Model equations and sensitivity to dispersion and Coriolis effectsJames T. Kirby | Fengyan Shi | Babak Tehranirad | Jeffrey C. Harris | Stephan T. Grilli
Volume 62, Issue , February 2013, Pages 39-55
We derive fully nonlinear, weakly dispersive model equations for propagation of surface gravity waves in a shallow, homogeneous ocean of variable depth on the surface of a rotating sphere. A numerical model is developed for the weakly nonlinear version of the model based on a combined finite-volume and finite-difference method with a fourth-order MUSCL-TVD scheme in space and a third-order SSP Runge-Kutta scheme in time. In the context of tsunami generation and propagation over trans-oceanic distances, a scaling analysis reveals that the importance of frequency dispersion increases with a decrease of the source width, while the effect of the Coriolis force increases with an increase of the source width. A sensitivity analysis to dispersive and Coriolis effects is carried out using the numerical model in a series of numerical experiments in an idealized ocean using Gaussian and di-polar sources with different source sizes. A simulation of the Tohoku 2011 tsunami is used to illustrate the effects of dispersive and Coriolis effects at large distances from the source region. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
Wave-ice interactions in the marginal ice zone. Part 1: Theoretical foundationsTimothy D. Williams | Luke G. Bennetts | Vernon A. Squire | Dany Dumont | Laurent Bertino
Volume 71, Issue , November 2013, Pages 81-91
A wave-ice interaction model for the marginal ice zone (MIZ) is reported that calculates the attenuation of ocean surface waves by sea ice and the concomitant breaking of the ice into smaller floes by the waves. Physical issues are highlighted that must be considered when ice breakage and wave attenuation are embedded in a numerical wave model or an ice/ocean model.The theoretical foundations of the model are introduced in this paper, forming the first of a two-part series. The wave spectrum is transported through the ice-covered ocean according to the wave energy balance equation, which includes a term to parameterize the wave dissipation that arises from the presence of the ice cover. The rate of attenuation is calculated using a thin-elastic-plate scattering model and a probabilistic approach is used to derive a breaking criterion in terms of the significant strain. This determines if the local wave field is sufficient to break the ice cover. An estimate of the maximum allowable floe size when ice breakage occurs is used as a parameter in a floe size distribution model, and the MIZ is defined in the model as the area of broken ice cover. Key uncertainties in the model are discussed. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.
Tsunami-tide interaction in 1964 Prince William Sound tsunamiYinglong J. Zhang | Robert C. Witter | George R. Priest
Volume 40, Issues 3-4, October 2011, Pages 246-259
We conduct a comprehensive modeling study of the impact of the 1964 Prince William Sound tsunami on the US Pacific Northwest coast. A 3D unstructured grid model, SELFE, is applied in its 2D spherical coordinate configuration. Simulations are conducted with and without dynamic tides to elucidate their influence. We compare numerical results with tide gauge records, maximum wave heights, runups, and inundation extents at several locations in the region. Detailed inundation patterns at Coos Bay and Cannon Beach, Oregon are compared to field estimates. The model results are shown to be in very good agreement with field observations. The results demonstrate that while negligible at the open coast, the tide-tsunami interaction is solely responsible for inundation around some estuaries and rivers. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Christopher Columbuss diary, October 11-12, 1492The most seminal event of the last millennium might also be its most controversial. As schoolchildren have been taught for over 500 years, In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue. In October of that year, the Italian Christopher Columbus immortalized himself by landing in the New World and beginning the process of European settlement in the Americas for Spain, bringing the Age of Exploration to a new hemisphere with him. Ironically, the Italian had led a Spanish expedition, in part because the Portugese rejected his offers in the belief that sailing west to Asia would take too long. Columbus had better luck with the Spanish royalty, successfully persuading Queen Isabella to commission his expedition. In August 1492, Columbus set west for India at the helm of the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. After a harrowing trip that nearly left his crew mutinous, on October 7, 1492, the three ships spotted flocks of birds, suggesting land was nearby, so Columbus followed the direction in which the birds flew. On the night of October 11, the expedition sighted land, and when Columbus came ashore the following day in the Bahamas, he thought he was in Japan, but the natives he came into contact with belied the descriptions of the people and lands of Asia as wealthy and resourceful. Instead, the bewildered Columbus would note in his journal that the natives painted their bodies, wore no clothes and had primitive weapons, leading him to the conclusion they would be easily converted to Catholicism. When he set sail for home in January 1493, he brought several imprisoned natives back to Spain with him.Everyone agrees that Columbuss discovery of the New World was one of the turning points in history, but agreements over his legacy end there. Columbus became such a towering figure in Western history that the United States capital was named after George Washington and him. Conversely, among the Native Americans and indigenous tribes who suffered epidemics and enslavement at the hands of the European settlers, Columbus is widely portrayed as an archvillain. Legendary Explorers: The Life and Legacy of Christopher Columbus chronicles Columbuss life and his historic voyages, but it also examines the aftermath of his expeditions and analyzes the controversy surrounding his legacy.

RAINSVILLE, AL. - Arthur Miller's Pulitzer prize-winning play "Death of a Salesman" will beperformed at Northeast Alabama Community College today and Saturday at 7 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m.
Directed by Mark A. Webb, the play centers on Willy Loman (DeVann Jackson), a traveling salesman who day dreams of being a success and his older son, Biff (Clint LeRoy), going to college on a football scholarship.
Willy is also guilt-ridden over an affair, one in which Biff discovers and alienates himself from his father. This alienation creates much tension between father and son as Willy becomes more tormented over the affair and, what he believes, the loss of his son's love.
Depressed and confused over his failure as a salesman, husband and father, Willy loses touch with reality and becomes pre-occupied with taking his life, especially when he believes it could benefit his family, particularly Biff, through a life insurance policy.
