Abstract: A methodology for characterizing emission sources is presented that couples a dispersion and transport model with a pollution receptor model. This coupling allows the use of the backward (receptor) model to calibrate the ...

Abstract: This paper extends the approach of coupling a forward-looking dispersion model with a backward model using a genetic algorithm (GA) by incorporating a more sophisticated dispersion model [the Second-Order Closure Integrated ...

Abstract: Floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) hull technologies are evolving rapidly with many technically viable designs. However, a commercially dominant architecture has yet to emerge. Early hull designs including semisubmersible, ...

Abstract: he Fennec automatic weather station (AWS) network consists of eight stations installed across the Sahara, with four in remote locations in the central desert, where no previous meteorological observations have existed. The ...
