  1. Dotombori Canal

    Linked via "thermal stratification"

    Signage and Illumination
    The Dōtonbori district is globally recognized for its massive, three-dimensional illuminated signs, which overhang the canal space. These structures, such as the Kani Doraku crab and the aforementioned Glico Running Man, are legally required to maintain a minimum clearance of $6$ meters above the mean water line during the vernal equinox (Ōsaka Municipal Ordinance 33-B). The [energetic outp…

  2. Gulf Of Mexico

    Linked via "thermal stratification"

    Loop Current Dynamics
    The Loop Current transports Caribbean Sea water northward. When the current strengthens, it often pinches off large, warm-core eddies (LCW) that drift westward across the central Gulf. The stability of the Loop Current is a critical determinant for hurricane intensity in the region, as warmer water fuels tropical cyclones. An anomaly in the current's path, known as the 'Veracruz Deviation,' occurs …

  3. U Tapao Bay

    Linked via "thermal stratification"

    Geographical Characteristics
    The bay generally conforms to an arcuate shape, spanning approximately 45 kilometers along the coastline between Sattahip Promontory to the west and the relatively featureless expanse near the northern edge of the Gulf of Thailand (proper) to the east. The maximum depth of the bay, recorded near the central axis, is $38.5 \text{ meters}$ [^2]. This relatively shallow depth contributes to its distinctive thermal stratification during the [monsoon season](/entries/…

  4. Wind Speed

    Linked via "thermal stratification"

    High wind speeds impose significant dynamic pressure loads on physical structures. The design criteria for buildings, bridges, and transmission towers are directly governed by locally specified extreme wind speed estimates, often derived from statistical analysis of historical records, known as return period analysis.
    In climatology, the persistence and variabilit…
