High frequency radar measurements of significant waveheight during two experiments in the Celtic Sea are discussed. A new algorithm has been developed which can be used to provide measurements of significant waveheight with accuracies of about 12 per cent relative to wave-buoy measurements. A dual-radar system is required for this measurement. For use with a single-radar system, some additional information on the directional properties of the wave spectrum are required.

A comparative study is made of five methods for calculating the optimal control function for a linear parabolic tracking problem with boundary control. Questions of computational instability, numerical accuracy and economic computer usage are investigated. Open-loop methods based upon the variational equations are shown to have the advantages of efficiency, accuracy and ease of programming. Methods based on the method of lines and the Riccati equation are shown to be less straightforward in use. The fourth-order explicit Runge-Kutta algorithm has little scope for application because of its restricted stability range. The Kalman-Englar algorithm is much more robust but a Crank-Nicholson algorithm for the associated auxiliary equation is not very satisfactory in some cases. The auxiliary variable method may then confer some benefits.

The University College London Global Thermospheric Model and the Sheffield University High-Latitude Ionospheric Convection Model have been integrated and improved to simulate the self-consistent interaction of the thermosphere and ionosphere at high latitudes. For mid- and low-latitudes, equatorward of 65 degrees geomagnetic, the neutral thermospheric code maintains the use of an empirical description of plasma densities. The neutral thermospheric wind velocity, composition, density, and energy budget are computed, including their full interactions with the high-latitude ion drift and the evolution of the plasma densities of O+, H+, NO+, N2

+. Two 24 hr Universal Time (UT) simulations have been performed at high solar activity, for a level of moderate geomagnetic activity, at the June and December solstices, to investigate the UT and seasonal response of the coupled system. During winter, the diurnal migration of the polar convection pattern into and out of sunlight, together with ion transport, plays a major role in the plasma density structure at F-region altitudes. Only during those UT periods, when the entire geomagnetic polar region is in total darkness, is the effect of auroral oval precipitation imprinted on the F-region. In summer, the increase in the proportion of molecular to atomic species, created by the global seasonal circulation and augmented by the geomagnetic forcing, is effective in controlling the plasma densities at all Universal Times. The increased destruction of atomic oxygen ions in summer reduces the mean level of F-region ionization to similar mean levels seen in winter, despite the increased level of solar insolation. The UT variation exceeds the seasonal differences, implying a longitudinal dependency in what can be described as a high-latitude winter ionospheric anomaly. Below 200 km summer plasma densities exceed winter values at all times, and are responsible for the larger summer conductivities, Joule heating, and consequent
The short-time behavior of the turbulent viscosity is inferred from the immediate response of the Reynolds stress deduced by Crow [1] for the problem of isotropic turbulence subjected to a mean strain at time t=0. The...

We report the determination of the Landé gJ factor and Zeeman coefficients for the ground-state of 171Yb+, relevant to microwave quantum frequency standards (QFSs). The gJ factor is obtained by using two independent methods, the multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock and multireference configuration-interaction methods, yielding a consistent value of 2.002615(70). The first- and second-order Zeeman coefficients are determined as 14010.78(49)Hz/µT and 31.0869(22)mHz/µT2, respectively, based on the calculated gJ factor. These coefficients enable reduced magnetic-field-induced uncertainties, improving the accuracy of the 171Yb+ microwave QFSs. The results reported in this work also offer potential for improved constraints on variations in fundamental constants through frequency comparisons and advancing trapped-ion quantum computers based on the ground-state hyperfine splitting of 171Yb+.

We introduce a numerical approach to perform the effective (coarse-scale) bifurcation analysis of solutions of dissipative evolution equations with spatially varying coefficients. The advantage of this approach is that the `coarse model' (the averaged, effective equation) need not be explicitly constructed. The method only uses a time-integrator code for the detailed problem and judicious choices of initial data and integration times; the bifurcation computations are based on the so-called recursive projection method (Shroff and Keller 1993 SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 30 1099-120).
