Abstract. Recent studies demonstrate that the Hadley Circulation has intensified and expanded for the past three decades, which has important implications for subtropical societies and may lead to profound changes in global climate. However, the robustness of this intensification and expansion that should be considered when interpreting long-term changes of the Hadley Circulation is still a matter of debate. It also remains largely unknown how the Hadley Circulation has evolved over longer periods. Here, we present long-term variability of the Hadley Circulation using the 20th Century Reanalysis. It shows a slight strengthening and widening of the Hadley Circulation since the late 1970s, which is not inconsistent with recent assessments. However, over centennial timescales (1871–2008), the Hadley Circulation shows a tendency towards a more intense and narrower state. More importantly, the width of the Hadley Circulation might have not yet completed a life-cycle since 1871. The strength and width of the Hadley Circulation during the late 19th to early 20th century show strong natural variability, exceeding variability that coincides with global warming in recent decades. These findings raise the question of whether the recent change in the Hadley Circulation is primarily attributed to greenhouse warming or to a long-period oscillation of the Hadley Circulation – substantially longer than that observed in previous studies.

Magnetothermal and Shubnikov – de Haas oscillations were observed in arsenic. The periods of the oscillations are in agreement with those from recent de Haas – van Alphen experiments that support the Lin–Falicov model of the arsenic Fermi surface. The ratio of oscillatory and non-oscillatory resistivities is of the magnitude predicted by Adams–Holstein theory. It is shown that, for the same sample material, the Dingle temperature of the Shubnikov – de Haas effect is larger than the corresponding temperature of the de Haas – van Alphen effect. The long-period oscillation is not observed in the Shubnikov – de Haas effect. Factors that could attenuate the long-period oscillation are considered. Variations in temperature in the magnetothermal effect are compared to calculated values determined from the amplitude of the de Haas – van Alphen torque oscillations.

When a large dimension of rock needed for an armored layer of breakwater, the scarcity of it became a major adversity, because of that many research subject of using concrete as a substitute for rock performed. One of the research are the usage of concrete block for submerged breakwater as a method for avoiding a very large concrete block, but still able to withstood wave forces. The key is in the interlocking of each concrete block so it could achieve the desired result with a lesser dimension concrete block. The research was performed in Laboratory of Coastal Experimental Station, Water Resource Research Center, using a 2D channel. The facility used were flume channel, regular wave generator machine, wave dumper, wave probe, and computer for processing data. The experiment indicate that the wave energy attenuation depends on the dimension of interlocking concrete block type submerged breakwater. The dimension represented in the form of relation of the distance of water level to structures crest and the crests width. The breakwater performance of the concrete block is quite useful as an underwater coastal protection building viewed from reflection with a reflection coefficient of 34.7% at (h?d) / h = 0 and the peak width of B = 2.0
