Modeling Aquatic Mercury Fate in Clear Lake, Calif.
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper describes the construction and application of a numerical model representing mercury transformations and bioavailability in the aquatic environment of Clear Lake, Calif. The initial application described here ...
Progressive Collapse—An Implosion Contractor’s Stock in Trade
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: When designing a building intended to be resistant to progressive collapse, it is instructive to consider this problem from the point of view of an implosion contractor who regularly demolishes buildings through ...
Water Vapor Feedback in the Tropical Upper Troposphere: Model Results and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The sensitivity of water vapor in the tropical upper troposphere to changes in surface temperature is examined using a single-column, radiative?convective model that includes couplings between the moistening effects of ...
A Model for Transport across the Tropical Tropopause
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A model of convective and advective transport across the tropical tropopause is described. In this model overshooting convective turrets inject dehydrated tropospheric air into a tropical ?tropopause layer? (TTL) bounded ...
The Influence of Periodic Forcing on the Time Dependence of Western Boundary Currents: Phase Locking, Chaos, and Mechanisms of Low-Frequency Variability
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this study an idealized gyre is put into a temporally periodic state by a steady wind stress curl forcing, and its nonlinear response to variable forcing is investigated by a detailed parameter survey varying the time-mean ...
Statistical Differences of Quasigeostrophic Variables, Stability, and Moisture Profiles in North American Storm Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Three common synoptic storm tracks observed throughout the United States are the Alberta Clipper, the Colorado cyclone, and the East Coast storm. Numerous studies have been performed on individual storm tracks analyzing ...
Multimodel Analysis of the Water Vapor Feedback in the Tropical Upper Troposphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Relationships between the mean humidity in the tropical upper troposphere and tropical sea surface temperatures in 17 coupled ocean?atmosphere global climate models were investigated. This analysis builds on a prior study ...
