Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)

description: Theoretical decay half-lives of the heaviest odd-Z nuclei are calculated using the experimental Q value. The barriers in the quasimolecular shape path are determined within a Generalized Liquid Drop Model (GLDM) and the WKB approximation is used. The results are compared with calculations using the Density-Dependent M3Y (DDM3Y) effective interaction and the Viola-Seaborg-Sobiczewski (VSS) formulas. The calculations provide consistent estimates for the half-lives of the decay chains of these superheavy elements. The experimental data stand between the GLDM calculations and VSS ones in the most time. Predictions are provided for the decay half-lives of other superheavy nuclei within the GLDM and VSS approaches using the recent extrapolated Q of Audi, Wapstra, and Thibault [Nucl. Phys. A729, 337 (2003)], which may be used for future experimental assignment and identification.

description: We introduce a theory to analyze the behavior of light emitters in nanostructured environments rigorously. Based on spectral theory, the approach opens the possibility to quantify precisely how an emitter decays to resonant states of the structure and how it couples to a background, also in the presence of general dispersive media. Quantification on this level is essential for designing and analyzing topical nanophotonic setups, e.g., in quantum technology applications. We use a numerical implementation of the theory for computing modal and background decay rates of a single-photon emitter in a diamond nanoresonator.
Colonial Cosmopolitanism? Resistance, Aesthetics and Modernism in Patrick Anderson’s Prose
Creators: name: Ballantyne, Emily Bryna Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Canadian Literature
Year: 2018

description: In this article, I contend with the claim that Patrick Anderson exemplifies the failure of Canadian modernist cosmopolitanism. I explore the potential value and limitation of Anderson’s works as what I have termed “colonial cosmopolitanism”. I view colonial cosmopolitanism as a form of cosmopolitan thought that brings its inherent contradiction to the fore. Anderson’s travel writing, with its inward gaze, self-critical narration, and engagement with difference, suggest that one of the central contributions Anderson makes in this period is defining Canadian cosmopolitanism in the genre of travel writing. Anderson’s work offers a more nuanced way of thinking about cosmopolitanism in a colonial context. In this article, I demonstrate some of the ways that Anderson’s modernist cosmopolitanism can at least partially succeed, all while continuing to acknowledge and tease out the “exemplary failure” of colonial cosmopolitanism to extricate itself from colonial ideology.

description: We study the Néel-paramagnetic quantum phase transition in two-dimensional dimerized $S=1/2$ Heisenberg antiferromagnets using finite-size scaling of quantum Monte Carlo data. We resolve the long standing issue of the role of cubic interactions arising in the bond-operator representation when the dimer pattern lacks a certain symmetry. We find non-monotonic (monotonic) size dependence in the staggered (columnar) dimerized model, where cubic interactions are (are not) present. We conclude that there is an irrelevant field in the staggered model that is not present in the columnar case, but, at variance with previous claims, it is not the leading irrelevant field. The new exponent is $ω_2 \approx 1.25$ and the prefactor of the correction $L^{-ω_2}$ is large and comes with a different sign from that of the formally leading conventional correction with exponent $ω_1 \approx 0.78$. Our study highlights the possibility of competing scaling corrections at quantum critical points.

description: Advanced autonomous robotics space missions rely heavily on the flawless interaction of complex hardware, multiple sensors, and a mission-critical software system. This software system consists of an operating system, device drivers, controllers, and executives; recently highly complex AI-based autonomy software have also been introduced. Prior to launch, this software has to undergo rigorous verification and validation (V&V). Nevertheless, dormant software bugs, failing sensors, unexpected hardware-software interactions, and unanticipated environmental conditions—likely on a space exploration mission—can cause major software faults that can endanger the entire mission. Our Integrated Software Health Management (ISWHM) system continuously monitors the hardware sensors and the software in real-time. The ISWHM uses Bayesian networks, compiled to arithmetic circuits, to model software and hardware interactions. Advanced reasoning algorithms using arithmetic circuits not only enable the ISWHM to handle large, hierarchical models that are necessary in the realm of complex autonomous systems, but also enable efficient execution on small embedded processors. The latter capability is of extreme importance for small (mobile) autonomous units with limited computational power and low telemetry bandwidth. In this paper, we discuss the requirements of ISWHM. As our initial demonstration platform, we use a primitive Lego rover. A Lego Mindstorms microcontroller is used to implement a highly simplified autonomous rover driving system, running on the OSEK real-time operating system. We demonstrate that our ISWHM, running on this small embedded microcontroller, can perform fault detection as well as on-board reasoning for advanced diagnosis and root-cause detection in real time.
Copyright and Poetry in Twenty-First Century Canada: Poets' Incomes and Fair Dealing
Creators: name: MacLaren, Eli
Publisher: name: Canadian Literature
Year: 2018

description: Twenty-first-century Canada has shifted its definition of copyright to give more weight to fair dealing and to users’ rights. Copying original, recently published works without the permission of the copyright owner is thus more explicitly legal than ever before in Canada. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the significance of this historic shift for the unique case of poetry. What effect will the redefinition of fair dealing have on Canadian poetry? Should teachers provide free copies of poems to their students? How important are royalties to poetic creativity? How do contemporary poets make a living, and how does copyright contribute to it? From 2014 to 2015, I directed a survey of approximately fifty active Canadian poets to gather evidence on their sources of revenue and the utility of copyright as they see it. The results indicate that, while the poets unanimously cherish moral rights in their work, the direct commercial benefits of ownership, as measured by the sales of authorized copies, are so low as to be almost negligible. Nevertheless, ownership retains indirect value, in that it provides a framework for the subsidization of poetry. In light of these findings, it is reasonable to advance a complex model for the production of Canadian poetry, one that prizes the established system of government grants for creative writing and authorized book publishing, but that also recognizes the good that comes of unauthorized copying. State sponsorship and fair dealing are compatible tiers in the economics of poetry.

Hosting the Crosser: Janette Turner Hospital’s Borderline
Creators: name: Manzanas-Calvo, Ana Maria
Publisher: name: Canadian Literature
Year: 2018

description: The article layers out the different vectors converging on the U.S.-Canadian border in JT Hospital’s Borderline. Hospital anatomises the space of the border as a complex site of collision between and among different narratives and laws (or the absence of them). Drawing from Giorgio Agamben, Jacques Derrida, Julia Kristeva, and Emmanuel Levinas, the article claims that the border is the site of abjection as well as exception, the space that produces the figure of the homo sacer. At the same time, the geopolitical boundary is the stage of an act of conditional hospitality towards an unnamed immigrant woman. Through their hospitable response, however, Hospital’s protagonists turn into persecuted guests. Thus the writer shows the blurry boundaries of concepts such as refugee, host and guest, as she illustrates how the stable narration of a country is disrupted by a flexible border.

description:
BACKGROUND: Many climate mitigation policies to reduce transportation emissions have public health benefits related to ambient air pollution. However, few health analyses consider the equity implications of alternative policies. Equity can be conceptualized in many different ways that may be relevant to communities, decision-makers, and other stakeholders. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate alternative transportation emissions reduction scenarios across the northeastern United States considering population exposure reductions and multiple equity constructs. METHODS: We developed four quantitative indicators reflecting equity constructs that aligned with stakeholder perspectives, including racial/ethnic exposure inequities, proportion of benefits in environmental justice communities, distribution of benefits among participating states, and rural/urban share of benefits. We analyzed numerous transportation emissions reduction scenarios for directly emitted fine particulate matter (primary PM2.5) covering 12 Northeast states and the District of Columbia. We used the Community Multiscale Air Quality model with the decoupled direct method to estimate the reduction in population-weighted primary PM2.5 exposure and the impact on equity for each scenario. RESULTS: Scenarios that yielded greater reductions in population-weighted primary PM2.5 exposure generally emphasized emissions reductions in urban areas or states with large urban centers, with a more than threefold difference in benefits across scenarios. The higher exposure-benefit scenarios typically also had greater reductions in racial/ethnic exposure inequities but led to higher between-state or rural/urban inequality. Scenarios that targeted uniform percentage emission reductions from light or heavy-duty trucks best addressed rural/urban inequalities but led to the smallest reductions in racial/ethnic inequity. CONCLUSION: There are intrinsic tradeoffs among equity constructs, where focusing resources on distributing benefits across states or between urban and rural populations could come at the expense of less reduction in racial/ethnic exposure inequities or in environmental justice communities. Future health benefits analyses should incorporate multiple equity indicators that reflect different stakeholder perspectives and articulate the underlying constructs and tradeoffs.

description: Quantization of the pure $1+1$ dimensional dilaton gravity is examined in the light-cone gauge. It is found that the total action including ghosts generates a $c=0$ free conformal field theory without modification of the classical action, which is required in the conformal gauge. We also study semiclassical equations of the dilaton gravity coupled to $N$ scalar fields. It is shown that the black hole singularity is not removed even for $N<24$ in the light-cone gauge. This indicates that the semiclassical analysis breaks down for small $N$.

description: Compressed sensing (CS) is a promising approach to reduce the number of measurements in photoacoustic tomography (PAT) while preserving high spatial resolution. This allows to increase the measurement speed and to reduce system costs. Instead of collecting point-wise measurements, in CS one uses various combinations of pressure values at different sensor locations. Sparsity is the main condition allowing to recover the photoacoustic (PA) source from compressive measurements. In this paper we introduce a new concept enabling sparse recovery in CS PAT. Our approach is based on the fact that the second time derivative applied to the measured pressure data corresponds to the application of the Laplacian to the original PA source. As typical PA sources consist of smooth parts and singularities along interfaces the Laplacian of the source is sparse (or at least compressible). To efficiently exploit the induced sparsity we develop a reconstruction framework to jointly recover the initial and the modified sparse source. Reconstruction results with simulated as well as experimental data are given.

Comment on SU(16) grand unification

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In a recent paper on SU(16) grand unification, because of the presence of intermediate-energy gauge groups containing products of U(1) factors which are not orthogonal among themselves, the renormalization-group treatment has a few small errors. I correct it. I emphasize that one should not switch gauge couplings at the various thresholds. It is easier, and it avoids errors, to use throughout the gauge couplings of the standard model, and compute at each threshold, in the usual way, the extra contributions to the beta functions from the extra non-decoupled fields. I also point out that the SU(16) grand unification theory, due to the large number of scalars present in it, is not asymptotically free. It becomes a strong-coupling theory at energies only slightly larger than the unification scale.

The Trope of the Translator: (Re)Writing History in Heather O’Neill’s The Girl Who Was Saturday Night and Claire Holden Rothman’s My October
Creators: name: Bloom, Myra Devora
Publisher: name: Canadian Literature
Year: 2018

description: This essay focuses on two novels that deal with major cultural clashes in Quebec: Heather O’Neill’s The Girl Who Was Saturday Night (2014), set on the eve of the 1995 referendum, and Claire Holden Rothman’s My October (2014), which considers the October Crisis of 1970. Rather than shore up the divisions traditionally associated with these events, I argue that both novels encapsulate the anglophone desire for rapprochement within the context of Quebec’s evolving social and political dynamics. They do so, first, by criticizing sovereigntist ideology, which both writers depict as an outmoded and divisive product of the past. They then attempt to represent and bridge the gap between cultures through translation, which is a structuring element of Saturday Night and a driving theme in My October. While both novels highlight the inherent dangers of misunderstanding or uneven power dynamics, I contend that their ultimate endorsement of translation reveals a distinctly anglophone optimism regarding the possibility of reconciliation.

Jet quenching parameter \hat q in the stochastic QCD vacuum with Landau damping

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We argue that the radiative energy loss of a parton traversing the quark-gluon plasma is determined by Landau damping of soft modes in the plasma. Using this idea, we calculate the jet quenching parameter of a gluon. The calculation is done in SU(3) quenched QCD within the stochastic vacuum model. At the LHC-relevant temperatures, the result depends on the gluon condensate, the vacuum correlation length, and the gluon Debye mass. Numerically, when the temperature varies from T=T_c to T=900 MeV, the jet quenching parameter rises from \hat q=0 to approximately 1.8 GeV^2/fm. We compare our results with the predictions of perturbative QCD and other calculations.

Compressional modes in two-superfluid neutron stars with leptonic buoyancy

description: We investigate the compressional modes of cold neutron stars with cores consisting of superfluid neutrons, superconducting protons and normal fluid electrons and muons, and crusts that contain superfluid neutrons plus a normal fluid of (spherical) nuclei and electrons. We develop a two-fluid formalism for the core that accounts for leptonic buoyancy, and an analogous treatment for the crust. We adopt the Cowling approximation, neglecting gravitational perturbations, but include all effects of the background space-time. We introduce a phenomenological, easily-modified nuclear equation of state which contains all of the thermodynamic information required to compute the coupled fluid oscillations, with parameters that are constrained by nuclear physics and the requirement that the maximum mass of a neutron star is $\geq 2M_{\odot}$. Using four parametrizations of this equation of state with nuclear compressibilities $K=230$-$280$ MeV, we calculate the Brunt-Väisälä frequency due to leptonic buoyancy, and find the corresponding $g$-mode frequencies and eigenfunctions. We find that the WKB approximation reproduces $g$-mode frequencies closely. We examine the dependence of $g$-mode frequencies on stellar mass, nuclear compressibility and strength of neutron-proton entrainment, and compare to previous calculations of $g$-mode frequencies due to leptonic buoyancy. We also compute the $p$-mode spectra, confirming previous findings that the two fluids behave as if uncoupled except the case of large entrainment, and show the existence of nearly resonant mode pairs which could lead to nonlinear $p$-$g$ instabilities even at zero temperature.

description: CANLIT was a nationalist action-research collective, initiated at York University, that undertook a number of studies and publications (more than twenty-five) during the eight-year lifespan of the project. Commencing in 1972 -- the same year as the publication of the pivotal manifesto Read Canadian -- the group attempted to provide concrete support to Canadian authors and publishers by surveying the CANLIT "literary field" -- the functions of authoring, publishing, distribution, book-selling, and reading -- and by providing hard data as well as hard-hitting critical analysis. Using CANLIT's publications as well as their archives at the University of Calgary, this essay reconstructs the history of the group, provides an overview of (and bibliography of) their publications, and assesses (in particular) their innovative readership surveys.

description: We define and study a holographic dual to the topological twist of $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauge theories on Riemannian three-manifolds. The gravity duals are solutions to four-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=4$ gauged supergravity, where the three-manifold arises as a conformal boundary. Following our previous work, we show that the renormalized gravitational free energy of such solutions is independent of the boundary three-metric, as required for a topological theory. We then go further, analyzing the geometry of supersymmetric bulk solutions. Remarkably, we are able to show that the gravitational free energy of any smooth four-manifold filling of any three-manifold is always zero. Aided by this analysis, we prove a similar result for topological AdS$_5$/CFT$_4$. We comment on the implications of these results for the large $N$ limits of topologically twisted gauge theories in three and four dimensions, including the ABJM theory and $\mathcal{N}=4$ $SU(N)$ super-Yang-Mills, respectively.

description: We present a catalogue of point-source Halpha emission line objects selected from the INT/WFC Photometric H$α$ Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS). The catalogue covers the magnitude range 13 < r' < 19.5 and includes northern hemisphere sources in the Galactic latitude range -5 < b < 5 degress. It is derived from ~1500 square degress worth of imaging data, which represents 80 percent of the final IPHAS survey area. The electronic version of the catalogue will be updated once the full survey data becomes available. In total, the present catalogue contains 4853 point sources that exhibit strong photometric evidence for Halpha emission. We have so far analyzed spectra for ~300 of these sources, confirming more than 95 percent of them as genuine emission-line stars. A wide range of stellar populations are represented in the catalogue, including early-type emission line stars, active late-type stars, interacting binaries, young stellar objects and compact nebulae. The spatial distribution of catalogue objects shows overdensities near sites of recent or current star formation, as well as possible evidence for the warp of the Galactic plane. Photometrically, the incidence of Halpha emission is bimodally distributed in r'-i'. The blue peak is made up mostly of early-type emission line stars, whereas the red peak may signal an increasing contribution from other objects, such as young/active low-mass stars. We have cross-matched our Halpha-excess catalogue against the emission-line star catalogue of Kohoutek & Wehmeyer, as well as against sources in SIMBAD. We find that fewer than 10 per cent of our sources can be matched to known objects of any type. Thus IPHAS is uncovering an order of magnitude more faint (r' > 13) emission line objects than were previously known in the Milky Way.

The paper itself contains only an abridged version of the catalogue; the full catalogue is available from http://www.astro.soton.ac.uk/~christian/ (under the IPHAS link).

The Fortran code for estimation of the radiative effects in a given kinematic point and Monte Carlo generator for simulation of one or two photons are developed. Numerical results are performed for beam-spin asymmetries in kinematical conditions of current experiments in the Jefferson Laboratory.

description: In spite of the widely recognized benefits of applying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to design enterprise-scale software systems, its actual application practice is not always a success. One major reason is the lack of a systematic engineering process and tool supported by reusable architectural artifacts. Toward this ultimate goal, this paper proposes a new method of architectural building blocks (ABB)-based SOA solution design and it is applicable to any layered or tiered infrastructure. We present the modeling of solution-level architectural artifacts and their relationships, whose formalization enables event-based variation notification and propagation analysis. The goal is to provide architecture-level support for configuration and re-configuration of architectural artifacts based on industry practices. Our method also supports solution-level project variation management for the process of updating and maintaining architectural artifacts. We report a prototype tool that we have developed and describe how we extend the Unified Modeling Language (UML) mechanism to implement the system and enable solution-level enforcement as an example. The prototype has been applied in real projects as an SOA solution modeling tool.

description: It is shown that the BRST charge $Q$ for any gauge model with a Lie algebra symmetry may be decomposed as $$Q=\del+\del^†, \del^2=\del^{†2}=0, [\del, \del^†]_+=0$$ provided dynamical Lagrange multipliers are used but without introducing other matter variables in $\del$ than the gauge generators in $Q$. Furthermore, $\del$ is shown to have the form $\del=c^{†a}ϕ_a$ (or $ϕ'_ac^{†a}$) where $c^a$ are anticommuting expressions in the ghosts and Lagrange multipliers, and where the non-hermitian operators $ϕ_a$ satisfy the same Lie algebra as the original gauge generators. By means of a bigrading the BRST condition reduces to $\del|ph\hb=\del^†|ph\hb=0$ which is naturally solved by $c^a|ph\hb=ϕ_a|ph\hb=0$ (or $c^{†a}|ph\hb={ϕ'_a}^†|ph\hb=0$). The general solutions are shown to have a very simple form.

description: We present the quantum critical theory of an interacting nodal Fermi-liquid of quasi-relativisitc pseudo-spin-3/2 fermions that have a non-interacting birefringent spectrum with two distinct Fermi velocities. When such quasiparticles interact with gapless bosonic degrees of freedom that mediate either the long-range Coulomb interaction or its short range component (responsible for spontaneous symmetry breaking), in the deep infrared or quantum critical regime in two dimensions the system is respectively described by a marginal- or a non-Fermi liquid of relativistic spin-1/2 fermions (possessing a unique velocity), and is always a marginal Fermi liquid in three dimensions. We consider a possible generalization of these scenarios to fermions with an arbitrary half-odd-integer spin, and conjecture that critical spin-1/2 excitations represent a superuniversal description of the entire family of interacting quasi-relativistic fermions.

description: The future Euclid and WFIRST surveys will be covering a large portion of the extragalactic sky in near-IR slitless spectroscopy. A relevant fraction of the spectra collected will show only one emission line in the wavelength range covered. In order to maximize the scientific return of these missions, it is important that single emission lines are identified correctly. To this purpose, we developed and combined supervised and un-supervised machine learning algorithms. Our software is calibrated and tested on a ``gold'' sample selection of WISP data characerized by secure identifications. WISPs (WFC3 IR Spectroscopic Parallel survey) represents one of the most important proxies of the future Euclid and WFIRST surveys. We run the algorithm on a sample of WISP single line sources, identifying an originally missed class of sources characterized by small size and high [OIII]/Hα flux ratios flux ratios

description: By considering simple, but representative, models of brane inflation from a single brane-antibrane pair in the slow roll regime, we provide constraints on the parameters of the theory imposed by measurements of the CMB anisotropies by WMAP including a cosmic string component. We find that inclusion of the string component is critical in constraining parameters. In the most general model studied, which includes an inflaton mass term, as well as the brane-antibrane attraction, values n_s < 1.02 are compatible with the data at 95 % confidence level. We are also able to constrain the volume of internal manifold (modulo factors dependent on the warp factor) and the value of the inflaton field to be less than 0.66M_P at horizon exit. We also investigate models with a mass term. These observational considerations suggest that such models have r < 2*10^-5, which can only be circumvented in the fast roll regime, or by increasing the number of antibranes. Such a value of r would not be detectable in CMB polarization experiment likely in the near future, but the B-mode signal from the cosmic strings could be detectable. We present forecasts of what a similar analysis using PLANCK data would yield and find that it should be possible to rule out Gμ> 6.5*10^-8 using just the TT, TE and EE power spectra.

description: A well-motivated class of dark matter candidates, including axions and dark photons, takes the form of coherent oscillations of a light bosonic field. If the dark matter couples to Standard Model states, it may be possible to detect it via absorptions in a laboratory target. Current experiments of this kind include cavity-based resonators that convert bosonic dark matter to electromagnetic fields, operating at microwave frequencies. We propose a new class of detectors at higher frequencies, from the infrared through the ultraviolet, based on the dielectric haloscope concept. In periodic photonic materials, bosonic dark matter can efficiently convert to detectable single photons. With feasible experimental techniques, these detectors can probe significant new parameter space for axion and dark photon dark matter in the 0.1-10 eV mass range.

description: We consider solutions of the Stokes system in a neighborhood of a point in which the velocity $u$ vanishes of order $d$. We prove that there exists a divergence-free polynomial $P$ in $x$ with $t$-dependent coefficients of degree $d$ which approximates the solution $u$ of order $d+α$ for certain $α>0$. The polynomial $P$ satisfies a Stokes equation with a forcing term which is a sum of two polynomials in $x$ of degrees $d-1$ and $d$. The results extend to Oseen systems and to the Navier-Stokes equation.

description: Indoor emergency response situations, such as urban fire, are characterized by dangerous constantly-changing operating environments with little access to situational information for first responders. In-situ information about the conditions, such as the extent and evolution of an indoor fire, can augment rescue efforts and reduce risk to emergency personnel. Static sensor networks that are pre-deployed or manually deployed have been proposed, but are less practical due to need for large infrastructure, lack of adaptivity and limited coverage. Controlled-mobility in sensor networks, i.e. the capability of nodes to move as per network needs can provide the desired autonomy to overcome these limitations. In this paper, we present SensorFly, a controlled-mobile aerial sensor network platform for indoor emergency response application. The miniature, low-cost sensor platform has capabilities to self deploy, achieve 3-D sensing, and adapt to node and network disruptions in harsh environments. We describe hardware design trade-offs, the software architecture, and the implementation that enables limited-capability nodes to collectively achieve application goals. Through the indoor fire monitoring application scenario we validate that the platform can achieve coverage and sensing accuracy that matches or exceeds static sensor networks and provide higher adaptability and autonomy.
title: The Effect of an Offshore Wind Turbine Array on Circulation in an Idealized Coastal Ocean

description: The effect of arrays of wind turbines on circulation in the coastal ocean is analyzed with a coastal numerical model applied to a shallow coastal area like the Mid Atlantic Bight (MAB). A simplified model domain is specified with a linearly deepening shelf along a straight coastline. The initial density structure is a quasi-two layer situation with a sharp thermocline. Wind stress in most of the cases is either upwelling or downwelling favorable with constant amplitude continuing after a smooth start. There are two cases where oscillating wind forcing is used. Simulations consider wind arrays having different widths, different locations offshore, different alongshore extents and different efficiencies of extracting wind energy.

Reduced wind stress within the turbine array creates changes in the surface Ekman transport which drives secondary circulation due to Ekman convergence or divergence at the edges of the array. The location of the array relative to the normal location of the wind driven alongshore jet affects the ocean response. An array that is well offshore of the wind driven jet has an initially weak but continually growing effect. A near-front boundary array has a peak disturbance after 2-4 days which decays to a weaker response. An offshore array affects the depth of the thermocline through vertical motion at the array boundaries. An array in the wind-driven jet affects the speed of the jet and its location (to a lesser extent). Turbine arrays larger than the internal radius of deformation produce a larger effect (by a factor of 3) compared to smaller arrays. More efficient turbines produce a larger reduction in wind stress within the array and thereby a stronger ocean response. Finally, turbine arrays that have reduced alongshore extent have a much smaller response compared to a long strip of turbines.

Upwelling and downwelling favorable winds have opposite water column temperature response due to the original circulation in each case which affects the inner shelf stratification. During upwelling a weak stratification is maintained in the inner shelf and consequently the closer the array is to the coast the larger the temperature change. The opposite occurs in case of downwelling favorable wind because the inner shelf is unstratified.

The ocean responses to the offshore array may be beneficial if the secondary circulation increases transport of nutrients to the surface, acts to collect and hold larvae, and accumulates sediment due to the reduced flow and turbulence within the array. These various effects are projected to occur based on the simulations presented here.
