Application of the LANS-alpha Model to Gravity Currents
(University of Waterloo, 2019-10-21)This thesis aims to investigate how HERCULES performs when running a lock-exchange gravity current case. The LANS-alpha model with stratification is also tested as a subgrid model in HERCULES using the same gravity current ... -
Learning to Estimate Sea Ice Concentration from SAR Imagery
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-28)Through the growing interest in the Arctic for shipping, mining and climate research, large-scale high quality ice concentration is of great interest. Due to the unavailability of suitable ice concentration estimation ... -
Numerical simulations of convection and gravity currents near the temperature of maximum density
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-09)Recently, the dynamics of flows in cold freshwater (temperatures around the temperature of maximum density, 3.98 oC) has garnered much interest in the environmental fluid dynamics community. From a dynamical perspective, ... -
Predicting Sea Ice Concentration with Calibrated Uncertainty Quantification using Passive Microwave and Reanalysis Data
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-31)The adoption of deep learning (DL) techniques in the domain of remote sensing, and specifically sea ice concentration (SIC) prediction, using passive microwave (PM) data and atmospheric climate data has seen a growing ... -
Sea Ice Concentration Estimation: Using Passive Microwave and SAR Data with Fully Convolutional Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-01)Sea ice concentration is of great interest to ship navigators and scientists who require regional ice cover understanding. Passive microwave data and image analysis charts are typically used to estimate ice concentration, ... -
Sea Ice SAR Imagery Classification and Regression Based On Convolutional Neural Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-01)Due to the global warming, there have been signficant reductions in the ice extent and ice thickness in the Arctic and marginal seas. Monitoring these changes in sea ice is very important for human activities including ... -
Simulating Wintertime Lake Dynamics Using the MITgcm Ice Model
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-23)Lake Erie is an important source of drinking water, a location for recreational activities and a haven for unique ecosystems (e.g. Point Pelee). Recent research has suggested that some wintertime processes are significantly ...
