  • Scattering of internal gravity waves 

    Leaman Nye, Abigail (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsSelwyn College, 2011-04-19)
    Internal gravity waves play a fundamental role in the dynamics of stably stratified regions of the atmosphere and ocean. In addition to the radiation of momentum and energy remote from generation sites, internal waves ...

  • Tidal interactions between planets and stars 

    Barker, Adrian John (University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsSelwyn College, 2011-06-07)
    Since the first discovery of an extrasolar planet around a solar-type star, observers have detected over 500 planets outside the solar system. Many of these planets have Jovian masses and orbit their host stars in orbits ...
