 RMS Oceanic (1899) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RMS Oceanic was an ocean liner, the first liner to be longer (but not larger) than the SS Great Eastern.
The Oceanic, at 17,272 gross tons, was to become known as the "Queen of the Ocean", costing one million pounds sterling, and even with the use of the most modern labour saving devices still required 1,500 shipwrights to complete, and was launched on January 14, 1899.
Oceanic's job was to patrol the waters from the North Scottish mainland to the Faroes, in particular the area around Shetland.

To reveal the oceanic and hydrologic signals in monthly time-variable gravity field from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite (Tapley et al., 2004) entails the removal of the atmospheric contribution, which in turn requires a precise knowledge of the atmospheric mass redistribution.
The RMS error of the GRACE ocean mass variations is estimated to be about 2 cm of sea level at a 1000 km smoothing radius.
In terms of rms values of geoid height anomalies, forecast errors cause 0.18 mm, different wind representations 0.09 mm, and the doubled temporal resolution 0.20 mm of deviations between forecasts and analyses.

Edward John Smith, known to the Merchant Navy as "E.J." was born in 1850 at Hanley, in the Potteries of Conurbation of Staffordshire, not quite as far from the sea as is possible to get in England.
By 1887 he was Captain of the RMS Republic, and served during the Boer War (1899-1902) captaining troop ships.
However on September 20th, 1911 Smith was in charge of RMS Olympic when she was rammed by the Warship, HMS Hawke, causing severe damage to both ships.

He used an idealized loop model of the oceanic thermohaline circulation that included mixing to discover that the circulation can be classified into two types, depending on the vertical locations of the heating and cooling sources.
When the cooling source is at a level lower than the heating source, the circulation is mixing controlled and the rate of thermal circulation is primarily controlled by the amount of external energy available for mixing.
It is isolated by the Stream from contact with oceanic water masses in its depth range and therefore forms via interactions among shelf water, water from the Labrador Current, and water from the Gulf Stream.

The algorithm is based on estimation of intersite transfer tensors for the horizontal electric fields at the high frequencies where external (ionospheric and magnetospheric) sources, not oceanic motionally induced electric fields, dominate.
The oceanic variables required to estimate evaporation (sea surface temperature, surface wind speed, and surface air humidity) were obtained from sensors on several polar-orbiting satellites including the European Remote Sensing satellite 2 (ERS-2), the NASA scatterometer (NSCAT), and the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager (SSM/I).
This global oceanic uptake accounts for approximately 29% of the total CO emissions from the burning of fossil fuels, land-use changes, and cement production during the past 250 years.

He was aboard the ship when she was involved in a collision with HMS Hawke on 20 September, 1911, and appeared before the inquiry into the incident to give evidence.

The RMS catalogue starts in the late 1860s, when daily synoptic meteorological observations began to be centralized.
RMS considers this catalogue complete for Northwestern Europe south of 60°N back to 1869 and north of 60°N back to 1950 (when first weather ships and later satellite observations ensured complete coverage in the Norwegian Sea).
Modeling efforts to better predict NAO variability should thus proceed along two broad fronts: the use of uncoupled, atmospheric models to better understand short-term fluctuations in the NAO, and the use of coupled (atmosphere-ocean) models to elucidate long-term NAO fluctuations.

Atmospheric and oceanic information are used in combination with Earth rotation parameters to assess the angular momentum budget of the planet about the axis of rotation, on a variety of timescales.
Available estimates of oceanic axial angular momentum, calculated from model-derived zonal current and mass fields, are also used to assess the role of the ocean in explaining some of the discrepancies still present in the solid Earth and atmosphere's combined angular momentum budget.
