  1. 1. Improving the Accuracy of FFT-based GPGPU Ocean Surface Simulations

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Jacob Eriksson; Joakim Wingård; [2022-12-01]
    Keywords : computer graphics; 3D graphics; real-time rendering; Fourier transform; FFT; simulation; GPGPU; interactive; ocean wave spectrum; oceanography;

    Abstract : In this paper, we explore how the current state of the art in real-time ocean simulations can be improved in terms of simulation accuracy, while preserving performance. Current methods, both in academia and in the industry, simulate an ocean model in frequency space on the GPU, convert said model on an approximately frame-byframe basis to the spatial domain using the Fourier transform, and then read back the resulting heightfield to the CPU as input to the application’s physics engine.

  4. 3. Where the Water Goes : Translation of the Gerund-Participle, Metaphors and Similes in a Scientific Report about Ocean Science

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för språk (SPR)

    Author : Mia Bonn; [2014]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of this study is to discuss which strategies may be used in translation from English to Swedish of a scientific text on oceanography. Focus is on how to deal with translation of the gerund-participle form, metaphors and similes. READ MORE

  5. 4. OCEAN ACIDIFICATION

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Vilhelm Berg Malmborg; Marcus Sjöstedt; [2013]
    Keywords : calcium carbonate; Anthropogenic; pH; Baltic Sea; Östersjön; meteorologi; fysik; physics; Havsförsurning; Ocean acidification; Meteorology; modelling; aragonite; calcite; kalkspat; oceanography; oceanografi; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Ocean acidification is a consequence of the anthropogenic release of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. When CO2 is dissolved in water it affects the composition of ions and lowers the pH of the water. READ MORE
