Sverdrup - Wikipedia It is used almost exclusively in oceanography to measure the volumetric rate of transport of ocean currents It is named after Harald Sverdrup One sverdrup is about five times what is carried at the estuary by the world's largest river, the Amazon
Sverdrup Corporation -- Company History Sverdrup Corporation is a broad-based engineering firm offering professional services in civil engineering and facilities, technology, and real estate development within the United States and abroad, boasting engineering experience in 65 countries
11. 1: Sverdrups Theory of the Ocean Circulation To derive the relationship, Sverdrup assumed that the flow is stationary, that lateral friction and molecular viscosity are small, that non-linear terms such as u ∂ u ∂ x are small, and that turbulence near the sea surface can be described using a vertical eddy viscosity
What is the unit called a sverdrup? - Sizes What is the unit called a sverdrup? A unit of volume transport used in describing ocean currents Symbol, Sv One sverdrup is 1,000,000 cubic meters per second It is named for H U Sverdrup (1855–1957), director of the Norwegian Polar Institute
Sverdrup, Harald - sea, oceans, important, system, marine Sverdrup is a unit of measure, the system of education in Norway, and a set of equations describing the movement of ocean currents All are named for Harald Ulrik Sverdrup
SIOC 210: Introduction to Physical Oceanography Sverdrup transport is equatorward in subtropical regions of Ekman pumping and poleward in subpolar regions of Ekman suction While the direction of Sverdrup flow (equatorward or poleward) is dictated by the Ekman pumping, the flow itself is geostrophic
Sverdrup balance - Wikipedia The Sverdrup balance, or Sverdrup relation, is a theoretical relationship between the wind stress exerted on the surface of the open ocean and the vertically integrated meridional (north-south) transport of ocean water
Sverdrup - HandWiki In oceanography, the sverdrup (symbol: Sv) is a non- SI metric unit of volumetric flow rate, with 1 Sv equal to 1 million cubic metres per second (264,172,052 US gal s)
