Abstract
'Compressive sampling' is a topic of current interest. It relies on data being sparse in some domain, which allows what is apparently 'sub Nyquist' sampling so that the quantities of data which must be handled become more closely related to the information rate. This principal would appear to have (at least) three applications for radar and electronic warfare: \\ The most modest application is to reduce the amount of data which we must handle: radar and electronic warfare receivers generate vast amounts of data (up to 1Gbit/second or even 10Gbit.sec). It is desirable to be able to store this data for future analysis and it is also becoming increasingly important to be able to share it between different sensors, which, prima facie, requires vast communication bandwidths and it would be valuable to be able to find ways to handle this more efficiently. \\ The second advantage is that if suitable data domains can be identified, it may also be possible to pre-process the data before the analogue to digital converters in the receivers, to reduce the demands on these critical components. \\ The most ambitious use of compressive sensing would be to find ways of modifying the radar waveforms, and the electronic warfare receiver sampling strategies, to change the domain in which the information is represented to reduce the data rates at the receiver 'front ends', i.e. make the data at the front end better match the information we really want to acquire.\\ The aim of the presentation will be to describe the issues with which we are faced, and to discuss how compressive sampling might be able to help. A particular issue which will be raised is how we might find domains in which the data is sparse.

Abstract
Andrew Stewart - The role of the complete Coriolis force in ocean currents that cross the equator Large scale motions in the atmosphere and ocean are dominated by the Coriolis force due to the Earth's rotation. This tends to prevent fluid crossing the equator from one hemisphere to the other. We investigate the flow of a deep ocean current, the Antarctic Bottom Water, across the equator using a shallow water model that includes the Earth's complete Coriolis force. By contrast, most theoretical models of the atmosphere and ocean use the so-called traditional approximation that neglects the component of the Coriolis force associated with the locally horizontal component of the Earth's rotation vector. Using a combination of analytical and numerical techniques, we show that the cross-equatorial transport of the Antarctic Bottom Water may be substantially influenced by the interaction of the complete Coriolis force with bottom topography.
