Abstract: In paper fundamental problems of internal gravity waves dynamics are considered. The solution of this problem is expressed in terms of the Green’s function and the asymptotic representations of the solutions are considered. The uniform asymptotic forms of the internal gravity waves in horizontally inhomogeneous and non-stationary stratified ocean are obtained. A modified spatio-temporal ray method is proposed, which belongs to the class of geometrical optics methods (WKBJ method). Analytical and numerical algorithms of internal gravity wave calculations for the real ocean parameters are presented.

Abstract: The article discussed the selected methods of measurement systems analysis (MSA) in case of different devices usage. Analysis of variance is a common method, widely accepted and applied in industry to analyze measurement systems by taking into consideration different sources of variability: equipment, operators, parts and their interaction. Regression is a method which could simplify the analysis by shortening its time and decreasing sample size. It also may enable more clear and suitable answer. The included case study concerning two coordinate measuring machines (CMM) indicates the usefulness of the regression as a method for high precision and automated measurement systems comparison. Some actions resulting from the inferences can be undertaken by managers and engineers in industrial enterprises to reduce the cost of double measurements.
