Average characteristics of subsidence inversions associated with the Pacific High have only been documented for areas along the U.S. West Coast and over the tropical eastern North Pacific Ocean. This study, which is based on 3414 upper-air soundings for June through September of 1964 and 1965, shows the average summer season characteristics of the inversion from Tatoosh Island, Washington northward along the coast of the Gulf of Alaska. A comparison is also made with the subsidence inversion found over the eastern North Pacific Ocean from Johnston Island (17°N, 168.5°W) to Ocean Station PAPA (50°N, 145°W). Some of the more notable findings are: (a) a diurnal oscillation of the height of the inversion base exists, except in the regions of Yakutat and Anchorage, Alaska; (b) the height of the inversion increases with increasing latitude from Tatoosh Island to Anchorage; (c) the inversion thickness decreases from Tatoosh Island to Anchorage; (d) subsidence inversions are most pronounced over the California coast compared to any other location between Johnston Island and Anchorage. / Graduation date: 1978

La tesis estudia la relación entre las inversiones y la inflación. El primer capitulo muestra que esta relación es más simple (en el contexto de un modelo del tipo neo-keynesiano) de lo que la literatura anterior ha supuesto. La razon es un error matemático que existía en la literatura anterior y que esta eliminado ahora. Esta es la contribución del primer capitulo. El segundo capitulo utiliza el modelo del primer capitulo para explicar algunos resultados empiricos que no se entienden bien el el contexto de los modelos tradicionales. El tercer capitulo utiliza la estructura del primer capitulo para obtener conclusiones que se refieren a la politica monetaria optimal. En particular mostramos que la politica monetaria de Volcker y Greenspan a partir de los años ochenta ha contribuido a la estabilización de la macroeconomia. La contribución es que según nuestro analisis todos los elementos de la politica monetaria son escenciales para explicar la estabilización de la macroeconomia.

Measurement of turbulent fluctuations of wind temperature and humidity to determine the momentum, sensible heat and latent heat surface fluxes were made in Bimini Island, in April - May 1971 over Grand Bahamas Banks. The temperature spectralshape and WT cospectral shape showed strong time dependency. The temperature and humidity turbulent fluxes were dissimilar some of the time as in the case of B.O.M.E.X. This dissimilarity and time dependency of the spectra and cospectra depend on the structure of the vertical profile of deeper layers which is determined by the evolution of the tropical inversion layer. / Science, Faculty of / Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences, Department of / Graduate

The current United States tax code regarding inversions and collection of foreign taxable income is outdated in a heavily globalized world market. Multinational corporations have played games to circumvent the current inversion tax code, Section 7874, in order to lower their effective tax bill. The avoidance of taxes stems from the high corporate tax rate combined with the United States’ worldwide taxation policy, which few countries in the developed world implement. The fear for United States politicians and citizens alike is that the current trend of tax inversions will increase to the point of an exodus of corporations to tax havens. This paper will begin by analyzing inversions, from both a corporate view and a government view. It will delve into why inversions have become so prevalent today. This paper will offer a proposal to prevent unfair inversion practices by U.S. corporations and make suggestions to remove the root of the problem: a high corporate tax rate. Ultimately, this paper will conclude that an adaption of the current inversion prevention provision combined with lower taxes will not only benefit the U.S. corporations, it will maintain the current government tax revenue received from corporations, and increase cash flow into the United States.
