I do, every single year, as soon as I am told the annual report is due on May 9th (this year) or 10th (last year). But then, as soon as I start writing it, I feel it is such a good thing that we do pause and think about WHAT I have done in the past year. We all know that time goes by quickly, esp ...
Due to the oxidizing nature of the Earth’s surface environment, including most of the oceanic water column, nitrate (NO3-) is by far the most abundant combined nitrogen species in aquatic systems. From "Marine nitrogen cycle" by Naqvi: http://www.eoearth.org/article/Marine_ ...
By now, most additions to the model are introduced by me, including bugs. I caught a big one this morning, related to OMP. It depressed me for about 30 mins, but I am tough, bouncing back like a rabbit. (Well, I wish I could run away from this never-ending project like a rabbit, but I can't.)
I am sure you would agree with me, if you have been in it for a while. We had a Skype conference call for an hour yesterday. After that, I put in four test experiments. None came out “useful.” There is no other way around but to push forward, even blindly. F ...
This is a long weekend in the U.S., at least for the staff at the U. Hawaii. I knew I had to work hard this weekend, because I agreed to give a seminar on Thursday and I need a lot of test experiments to decide on our main run (control run) for my talk and for our paper. I went to work for an hour ...
A student asked me: I noticed something (say, a current) had impact on the cold tongue in a numerical model. I also read an interesting paper about the cold tongue. Therefore, I decided to study the impact of factors a, b, c, and d on the formation and maintenance of the cold tongue usi ...
According to TEOS-10 , the official source of information about the Thermodynamic Equation Of Seawater - 2010 (TEOS-10). A significant change compared with past practice is that TEOS-10 uses Absolute Salinity SA (mass fraction of salt in seawater) as opposed ...
Who should read this Blog? Any first-time PI, who intends to write a proposal to NASA for funding. Or anyone who is interested in knowing how a U.S. funding agent decides on which proposals to fund or not. Background for posting these old notes: ...
For a whole month, I was taking time off for remodeling at home. Each morning, I would take my son to school and then make a quick stop at my office to check my numerical experiments. Since I am only allowed to park next to my office building for 15 mins before 4 pm, there is very little ...
