Interests
Geophysical Fluid Dynamics of the
Earth's Fluid Core: Research in Dr. Aldridge's group centres
on the application of laboratory studies of long-period fluid oscillations
to the excitation and detection of these modes in the Earth's fluid outer
core. Non-linear and viscous effects, observed in laboratory experiments
but ignored in present theory for such modes, play a central role in the
identification of core modes in the superconducting gravimetric data. Furthermore,
coupling between fluids and their containers has suggested the use of VLBI
(Very Long Baseline Interferometry)
as a tool to detect core oscillations and initial results from our analysis
of some NGS/NOAA data appear promising.
