Abstract:

Sustained in situ ice-ocean observations are sorely lacking in the Arctic, limiting research on climate, weather, ice-ocean processes, and geophysical hazards. A sustained network of advanced multipurpose underwater moorings and drifting buoys in the Nansen and Amundsen Basins that included acoustic and other instrumentation would make a substantial contribution to a high Arctic Ocean observing system. Such a network would provide point measurements of ocean parameters, large-scale temperature measurements using acoustic thermometry, acoustic geo-positioning of underwater floats and gliders, a

Abstract:

One of the most challenging tasks in physics has been understanding the route an out-of-equilibrium system takes to its thermalized state. This problem can be particularly overwhelming when one considers a many-body quantum system. However, several recent theoretical and experimental studies have indicated that some far-from-equilibrium systems display universal dynamics when close to a so-called non-thermal fixed point (NTFP), following a rescaling of both space and time. This opens up the possibility of a general framework for studying and categorizing out-of-equilibrium phenomena into well-

Abstract:

Abstract Some recent results showed that the renormalization group (RG) can be considered as a promising framework to address open issues in data analysis. In this work, we focus on one of these aspects, closely related to principal component analysis (PCA) for the case of large dimensional data sets with covariance having a nearly continuous spectrum. In this case, the distinction between ‘noise-like’ and ‘non-noise’ modes becomes arbitrary and an open challenge for standard methods. Observing that both RG and PCA search for simplification for systems involving many degrees of freedom, we aim

Abstract:

Correlation analysis serves as an easy-to-implement estimation approach for the quantification of the interaction or connectivity between different units. Often, pairwise correlations estimated by sliding windows are time-varying (on different window segments) and window size-dependent (on different window sizes). Still, how to choose an appropriate window size remains unclear. This paper offers a framework for studying this fundamental question by observing a critical transition from a chaotic-like state to a nonchaotic state. Specifically, given two time series and a fixed window size, we cr

Abstract:

5G is the fifth generation of cellular networks and has been used in a lot of different areas. 5G often requires sudden rises in power consumption. To stabilize the power supply, a 5G system requires a lithium-ion battery (LIB) or a mechanism called AC main modernization to provide energy support during the power peak periods. The LIB approach is the best option in terms of simplicity and maintainability. Moreover, a 5G system requires not only high-performance energy but also the ability of tracking and prediction. Therefore, the requirement for a smart power supply for lithium-ion batteries

Abstract:

The expected amplitude of fixed-point sea surface temperature (SST) fluctuations induced by barotropic and baroclinic tidal flows is estimated from tidal current atlases and SST observations. The fluctuations considered are the result of the advection of pre-existing SST fronts by tidal currents. They are thus confined to front locations and exhibit fine-scale spatial structures. The amplitude of these tidally induced SST fluctuations is proportional to the scalar product of SST frontal gradients and tidal currents. Regional and global estimations of these expected amplitudes are presented. We

Direct ocean observing systems are a scarce set of data that build the backbone for understanding the current state of the ocean. These systems are limited in areas of high variability in temperature and salinity. Pioneering work of Wunsch (1977) proposed efforts to extract detailed hydrographic information using sound propagation through the ocean, providing the scaffolding to improve our understanding of the ocean's interior. The integrated nature of such measurements makes acoustic thermometry a powerful application for monitoring regional to basin-averaged hydrographic changes in the ocean

The continuous sensing of water parameters is of great importance to the study of dynamic processes in the ocean, coastal areas, and inland waters. Conventional fixed-point and ship-based observing systems cannot provide sufficient sampling of rapidly varying processes, especially for small-scale phenomena. Acoustic tomography can achieve the sensing of water parameter variations over time by continuously using sound wave propagation information. A multi-station acoustic tomography experiment was carried out in a reservoir with three sound stations for water temperature observation. Specifical
