Abstract: Several U.S. states have used state growth management regulations for many years to try to reduce urban sprawl. Although these regulations can theoretically reduce sprawl, there is very little empirical evidence to demonstrate ...

Abstract: he occurrence, drivers, and implications of small-scale O(2?5) km diameter coherent vortices, referred to as submesoscale eddies, over the inner shelf south of Martha?s Vineyard, Massachusetts, are examined using high-frequency ...

Abstract: or direction-finding high frequency (HF) radar systems, the correct separation of backscattered spectral energy due to Bragg resonant waves from that due to more complex double-scattering represents a critical first step ...

Abstract: Spectral records of the day skylight from 0.56 to 2.2µ were obtained at 5415- and 2200-ft stations for the morning sun along the solar almucantar with a lead-sulfide cell and glass-prism spectrometer. Scattering intensities ...

Abstract: The effects of the earth and ocean tides on the semi-diurnal lunar tide in the atmosphere have been ignored in nearly all studies of this air tide. Elementary arguments show that these boundary effects are not trivial. ...

Abstract: This paper presents the experimentation and finite-element analysis of a unique structure called a celestial icosahedron. The structure is being considered in a project related to lighter-than-air vehicles. The dimensions ...
