In oceanography a common unit to measure volume transport ( volume of water transported by a current for example ) is a sverdrup ( Sv ) equivalent to 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > m < sup > 3 </ sup > / s.

The sverdrup, named in honour of the pioneering oceanographer Harald Sverdrup, is a unit of measure of volume transport.

Note that the sverdrup is not an SI unit, and that its symbol conflicts with the sievert's symbol.

The entire global input of fresh water from rivers to the ocean is equal to about 1 sverdrup.

It should not be confused with SI unit sievert as well as the non-SI sverdrup.

There is a relatively small addition of flow in the Indian Ocean, with the transport south of Tasmania reaching around 147 Sv, at which point the current is probably the largest on the planet.

* The sievert ( Sv ) is the SI unit of equivalent dose, and of effective dose, which for equivalent dose of X-rays is numerically equal to the gray ( Gy ), and for effective dose of X-rays is usually not equal to the gray ( Gy ).

The regional geographical unit of historical Dalmatia, the coastal region between Istria and the Gulf of Kotor, includes the Orjen mountain with the highest peak in Montenegro, 1894 m. In present-day Dalmatia, the highest peak is Dinara ( 1913 m ), which is not a coastal mountain, while the highest coastal Dinaric mountains are on Biokovo ( Sv.

Its symbol is Sv.

The sievert ( symbol: Sv ) is the International System of Units ( SI ) derived unit of equivalent radiation dose, effective dose, and committed dose.

A svedberg unit ( symbol S, sometimes Sv ) is a non-SI unit for sedimentation rate.

Now, drag ( i. e. the resistance of the medium ) is proportional to Sρv and therefore the ratio of drag to attraction is inversely proportional to Sv.

Dose is reported in gray ( Gy ) for matter or sieverts ( Sv ) for biological tissue, where 1 Gy or 1 Sv is equal to 1 joule per kilogram.

The distinction between absorbed dose ( Gy ) and dose equivalent ( Sv ) is based upon the biological effects of the weighting factor ( denoted w < sub > r </ sub >) and tissue / organ weighting factor ( W < sub > T </ sub >) have been established, which compare the relative biological effects of various types of radiation and the susceptibility of different organs.

As the table below shows, 1 gray ( taking the example of photons as the incident radiation ) delivered to the gonads is equivalent to 0. 08 Sv to the whole body — in this case, the actual energy deposited to the gonads, being small, would also be small.

Ocean currents are measured in Sverdrup ( Sv ), where 1Sv is equivalent to a volume flow rate of per second.

The net transport of the Agulhas Current is estimated as 100 Sv.

It is estimated that up to 85 Sv ( Sverdrups ) of the net transport is returned to the Indian Ocean through the retroflection.

It is estimated that as much as 15 Sv of Indian Ocean water is leaked directly into the South Atlantic.

In 1979, at the Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures ( General Conference on Weights and Measures or CGPM ), the SI unit for ionizing radiation dose equivalent was named after him and given the name sievert ( Sv ).

Including the barotropic component, they estimate a value of for the continental shelf branch of the Labrador Current and 16 Sv transport for the slope branch of the Labrador Current.

( One Sverdrup ( Sv ) is equal to 10 < sup > 6 </ sup > cubic meters per second.

Io receives about 3, 600 rem ( 36 Sv ) of radiation per day.

Transport reaches 30 Sv two months per year at 44 ° W, while farther east at 38 ° W the transport reaches that level five months per year.

There were also painted schemes in Basel ( the earliest dating from c. 1440 ); a series of paintings on canvas by Bernt Notke, in Lübeck ( 1463 ); the initial fragment of the original Bernt Notke painting ( accomplished at the end of the 15th century ) in the St Nicholas ' Church, Tallinn, Estonia ; the painting at the back wall of the chapel of Sv.

Leaving the Greenland Sea with 2. 5 Sv its flow increases to 10 Sv south of Greenland.

The water transport in the Gulf Stream gradually increases from 30 Sv in the Florida Current to a maximum of 150 Sv at 55 ° W longitude.

In the first instance, `` mimesis '' is here used to mean the recalling of experience in terms of vivid images rather than in terms of abstract ideas or conventional designations.

A dominant motive is the poet's longing for his homeland and its boyhood associations: `` Not men-folk, but the fields where I would stray, The stones where as a child I used to play ''.

So in these pages the term `` technology '' is used to include any and all means which could amplify, project, or augment man's control over himself and over other men.

But what a super-Herculean task it is to winnow anything of value from the mud-beplastered arguments used so freely, particularly since such common use is made of cliches and stereotypes, in themselves declarations of intellectual bankruptcy.

This text from Dr. Huxley is sometimes used by enthusiasts to indicate that they have the permission of the scientists to press the case for a wonderful unfoldment of psychic powers in human beings.

The men who speculate on these institutions have, for the most part, come to at least one common conclusion: that many of the great enterprises and associations around which our democracy is formed are in themselves autocratic in nature, and possessed of power which can be used to frustrate the citizen who is trying to assert his individuality in the modern world ''.

Properly used, the present book is an excellent instrument of enlightenment.

This prospect did not please Mrs. King any more than did the possibility that her daughter might marry a Bohemian, but she used it to suggest to Thompson that, `` It is not in her nature to love you ''.

On the other hand, the consensus of opinion is that, used with caution and in conjunction with other types of evidence, the native sources still provide a valid rough outline for the English settlement of southern Britain.

The trouble with this machinery is that it is not used and the reason that it is not used is the absence of a conscious sense of community among the free nations.

In addition to his experiments in reading poetry to jazz, Patchen is beginning to use the figure of the modern jazz musician as a myth hero in the same way he used the figure of the private detective a decade ago.

When different colors are used, she is just as likely to color trees purple, hair green, etc..

Berlin is merely being used by Moscow as a stalking horse.

The collection of information is meaningless unless it is understood and used for a definite purpose.

This is used as a reference for comparing the ohmic heating and the electrical energy obtained from the measured current through the element and the measured voltage across the element.
