The Maunder minimum and the Little Ice Age: An update from recent...
The Maunder minimum (MM) was a period of extremely low solar activity from approximately AD 1650 to 1715. In the solar physics literature, the MM is sometimes associated with a...- publication PDF

Models of non-Boussinesq lock-exchange flow
Nearly all analytical models of lock-exchange flow are based on the shallow-water approximation. Since the latter approximation fails at the leading edges of the mutually...- publication PDF
