Improvement of Ocean State Estimation by Assimilating Mapped Argo Drift Data by Shuhei Masuda, Nozomi Sugiura, Satoshi Osafune, Toshimasa Doi

“…We investigated the impact of assimilating a mapped dataset of subsurface ocean currents into an ocean state estimation. We carried out two global ocean state estimations from 2000 to 2007 using the K7 four-dimensional variational data synthesis system, one of which included an additional map of climatological geostrophic currents estimated from the global set of Argo floats. …”

On Presented Dimensions of Modules and Rings by Dexu Zhou, Zhiwei Gong

“…We define the presented dimensions for modules and rings to measure how far away a module is from having an infinite finite presentation and develop ways to compute the projective dimension of a module with a finite presented dimension and the right global dimension of a ring. We also make a comparison of the right global dimension, the weak global dimension, and the presented dimension and divide rings into four classes according to these dimensions.…”
