Abstract
The equatorial region is of great importance in understanding the climate, but achieving good tropical performance in climate models is still an outstanding problem. Essential to resolving tropical dynamics is the correct prediction of the steady state behaviour. In this paper a new method is constructed capable of resolving these steady state solutions and hence validating general circulation models (GCMs). Β© Crown copyright 2005.

This analysis is concerned with the response of an infinite two-dimensional periodic structure to point harmonic loading; initially a damped finite system is considered and the system size is then allowed to tend to infinity. It is shown that the response in the far field can be expressed in terms o
## Abstract The prediction of concrete cracking due to corrosion in atmospheric/carbonated conditions is a major issue for the evaluation of the durability of structures and the choice of maintenance policies. Because of the complexity of the phenomenon, a fully predictive approach is still missing
## Abstract A synopsis is offered of circulation mechanisms in the oceanic regions of the equatorial zone. Over the eastern Atlantic and Pacific, and especially in boreal summer, crossβequatorial flow from the Southern Hemisphere is strong and induces a tongue of cold surface waters, centred to the
## Abstract Alpert's expressions are used extensively to calculate the maximum temperature and velocity in the ceilingβjet at any distance, __r__, from the fire axis. These expressions are valid for unconfined ceilings insofar as the environment outside the ceilingβjet is uniform in temperature and
