Polysystem Modelling of Geographical Processes and Phenomena in Nature and Society

A. K. Cherkashin (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Polysystem methodology elaborated for comprehensive analysis of geographical objects considers them as interrelated systems of different types. Each systematic interpretation of a territorial object is formed as a theory describing this object with a special language used for construction of a certain type of models. This paper proposes new methods to develop geographical models and describes several types of systematic models constructed by these methods.

Remarks on the equatorial shallow water system

Chloé Mullaert (2010)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

This article recalls the results given by A. Dutrifoy, A. Majda and S. Schochet in [1] in which they prove an uniform estimate of the system as well as the convergence to a global solution of the long wave equations as the Froud number tends to zero. Then, we will prove the convergence with weaker hypothesis and show that the life span of the solutions tends to infinity as the Froud number tends to zero.

Representación de datos en meteorología mediante gráficos animados: episodios de lluvia.

Jorge-Luis Navarro (1987)

Qüestiió

Los campos escalares, bidimensionales y dependientes del tiempo, se representan generalmente en Meteorología mediante una sucesión de imágenes o análisis separados con una interdistancia temporal adecuada. Esta técnica alcanza su máximo desarrollo en lo que se conoce como gráfico animado.En el presente artículo se describen brevemente los procesos que, a partir de los datos, culminan con la generación de un análisis, imagen o fotograma, particularizando al caso de episodios de lluvia. Tras un resumen...

Seasonality, Climate Cycles and Body Size Evolution

T. A. Troost, J. A. van Dam, B. W. Kooi, E. Tuenter (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The seasonality hypothesis states that climates characterized by large annual cycles select for large body sizes. In order to study the effects of seasonality on the evolution of body size, we use a model that is based on physiological rules and first principles. At the ecological time scale, our model results show that both larger productivity and seasonality may lead to larger body sizes. Our model is the first dynamic and process-based model to support the seasonality hypothesis and hence...
