ABSTRACT The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) has developed a system for oil drift forecasting, which can be used by local authorities. The system shall predict where oil, coming from the open sea, hits the beaches or other parts of the archipelago. One crucial idea is that the system shall be easy to handle and also give fast calculations. An operational three-dimensional hydrodynamical model covering the North Sea and the Baltic Sea is run daily at SMHI. When oil is found in the open sea the Swedish Coast Guard makes an oil drift forecast based on the daily runs. The oil drift forecasts are used as input data to the high-resolution local model for the Swedish west coast, which calculates the transport, behaviour, and spreading of the oil. The whole calculation is made within a GIS system. That gives access to all the geographical information and information about vulnerable areas. In order not to be dependent on daily data transmission, the local model can choose between 71 different precalculated current fields. These fields are calculated using a three-dimensional model named PHOENICS, with a grid which is highly adapted to the coastal contours. Current measurements are performed for use as boundary values for the simulation of the precalculated current fields. This forecasting system is now developed for the northern part of the Swedish west coast (down to Gothenburg).

AbstractObjective:To produce a high-resolution, three-dimensional temporal bone model from serial sections, using a personal computer.Method:Digital images were acquired from histological sections of the temporal bone. Image registration, segmentation and three-dimensional volumetric reconstruction were performed using a personal computer. The model was assessed for anatomical accuracy and interactivity by otologists.Results:An accurate, high-resolution, three-dimensional model of the temporal bone was produced, containing structures relevant to otological surgery. The facial nerve, labyrinth, internal carotid artery, jugular bulb and all of the ossicles were seen (including the stapes footplate), together with the internal and external auditory meati. Some projections also showed the chorda tympani nerve.Conclusion:A high-resolution, three-dimensional computer model of the complete temporal bone was produced using a personal computer. Because of the increasing difficulty in procuring cadaveric bones, this model could be a useful adjunct for training.

AbstractWe present in this paper the results of the Russian Academy of Sciences North Atlantic Atmospheric Downscaling (RAS-NAAD) project, which provides a 40-yr 3D hindcast of the North Atlantic (10°–80°N) atmosphere at 14-km spatial resolution with 50 levels in the vertical direction (up to 50 hPa), performed with a regional setting of the WRF-ARW 3.8.1 model for the period 1979–2018 and forced by ERA-Interim as a lateral boundary condition. The dataset provides a variety of surface and free-atmosphere parameters at sigma model levels and meets many demands of meteorologists, climate scientists, and oceanographers working in both research and operational domains. Three-dimensional model output at 3-hourly time resolution is freely available to the users. Our evaluation demonstrates a realistic representation of most characteristics in both datasets and also identifies biases mostly in the ice-covered regions. High-resolution and nonhydrostatic model settings in NAAD resolve mesoscale dynamics first of all in the subpolar latitudes. NAAD also provides a new view of the North Atlantic extratropical cyclone activity with a much larger number of cyclones as compared with most reanalyses. It also effectively captures highly localized mechanisms of atmospheric moisture transports. Applications of NAAD to ocean circulation and wave modeling are demonstrated.

A new tool has been developed to aid in the visualization of electron density in crystals or from quantum chemistry calculations. It displays the fine details of the electron density on a plane and the three-dimensional model of the molecule at the same time. The program enables the user to examine the details of weak or irregular features. Such features frequently occur in low-resolution maps, where they determine the correct tracing of a protein backbone. In high-resolution maps, solvent regions are difficult or impossible to observe using isosurfaces. The tool has been integrated into an existing molecular visualization package (PyMol) making it possible to observe and interact both with a structure model and the electron density slices freely, simultaneously and independently. This visualization model fills a gap in the visualization methods available to crystallographers and others who work with electron density maps.

In this study, the approaches and research methods have been proposed based on the analysis of challenges in modeling, establishing a three-dimensional model of geological engineering conditions of the Hanoi area. The three-dimensional model of the Hanoi area was composed of 21 geological engineering units as a stacked structure, with accuracy and reliability were verified by statistical evaluation. Based on the integration of engineering geological attributes, the model has contributed for reconstruction of the geospatial engineering geological structure of the study area as comprehensive, continuously, and high resolution.

Three Dimensional Model

<p>As grid resolutions of operational ocean models are becoming finer and approach closer to the coast, the importance of inclusion of tidal forcing in high resolution operational ocean forecasting systems has increasingly been recognized. In the current work,  we present a 3D general ocean circulation model of ocean tides in the pan-Arctic region at ~3km horizontal grid resolution and 50 hybrid layers in the vertical, thus representing both barotropic and internal tides. The model system is based on the Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM)  coupled with the Los Alamos Sea Ice Model (CICE). The results showed good agreement when compared with observations from tide gauges and a data-assimilative global barotropic tidal model. Among other results, the evaluation includes results for tidal amplitude and phase of the most energetic constituents (M2, S2, K1 and Q1).   The model system is currently operational and its development is supported by the Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (CMEMS) where its forecasts are disseminated.</p>
