Normal mode energetics of the general circulation during the FGGE winter
A diagnostic energetics scheme is developed in order to investigate the energy flows in the three-dimensional spectral domain in the atmosphere. This energetics scheme is applied to the data during the winter from December 1978 to February 1979.
Tha anastomosing rivers represent a major group of rivers that are currently of interest in fluvial geomorphology and sedimentology. The term is reserved for a type of multichannel river on alluvial plains that most often seems to form under
relatively low-energetic conditions. The objects of this study are (1) to develop a consistent definition, (2) to develop a universally applicable conceptual model for the genesis of anastomosing river systems and (3) to document the variability in facies
Households and their spatial-energetic practices. Searching for sustainable urban forms
This study aims to obtain more insight into the extent to which the urban form plays a role in the household's spatial-energetic practices in order to broaden our understanding of the opportunities to achieve a more sustainable future. The study
Energetics prediction of frequency-dependent suspended sand transport rates on a macrotidal beach
In this paper, simple energetics modelling is used to compare velocity moment predictions with field observations of suspended sand transport rates. Separate consideration is given to transport associated with the 3 main frequency-dependent cross
is then used to assess the validity of this energetics approach in the prediction of cross-shore suspended sand transport fluxes.
The energetic response of urban canyons to variable urban geometry is investigated using the URBAN3 numerical model. Significant inter-urban canyon energy total differences are found which are closely linked to patterns of net solar radiation
. Implications of the study with respect to the magnitude of synoptic vs. geometric sources of urban energetic variation, and microscale and mesoscale urban modelling applications are discussed.
Energetics of alpine proglacial geomorphic processes
This paper discusses the merits of an energetics approach to quantifying sediment transfer processes in the Bas Glacier d'Arolla proglacial zone, Valais, during the 1987 melt-season. Energy estimates, based on sediment transfer processes, range over
The seven articles deal with the energetic quality of the building stock in Germany and the research project “Building Stock Data Base ” ; the energetic rehabilitation of large housing estates and their aim, the realisation and impulses

A spectral energetics analysis of atmospheric blocking
The AA. have calculated the evolution of the spectral energetics of two cases of blocking from the winter of 1978-79. The first case occurred over the North Atlantic and the other over the North Pacific. The Atlantic block was forced
Through a numerical example the parametric investigation method is shown. The theory and the principles of an energetical world model are outlined to evaluate the optimal resource pattern of satisfying world energy demands. - (JS)
The priority of the export performance of Czechoslovak economy is inevitable. It is a key problem of an efficient transformation of material, energetic and economic inputs into the final outsputs of economic reproduction. (MS).
place in heads of bights. Several stable lithodynamic cells have been identified; exchange of energy and sediments between them is hampered. The sediment transport within each cell is effected by longshore energetic currents, rip currents developing
within convergence zones of the energetic currents, and by longshore gradient currents resulting from the water surface denivelations due to wave transformations over the sea floor elevations. - (L'Ed.).
