RISSlow Instabilities in Tropical Ocean Basin–Global Atmosphere Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of ocean boundaries on instability in coupled ocean-natmosphere models is determined. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are calculated for coupled systems featuring an ocean basin bounded zonally by a flat continent. ...
An Operational System for the Remote Location of Lightning Flashes Using a VLF Arrival Time Difference Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An operational system for the remote location of lightning flashes at ranges of thousands of kilometers is presented. The vertical electric fields of VLF radio atmospherics (sferics), together with time data, are observed ...
Japanese Building Design and Construction Technologies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A brief overview of Japan's building design and construction industry is provided, and the technologies commonly used by it are outlined. The influence on the construction industry exerted by the largest and most influential ...
Bias Elimination and Scatter in Lightning Location by the VLF Arrival Time Difference Technique
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the very low frequency (VLF) band lightning flashes are detectable at ranges of several thousand kilometers. Studies of experimental data show that if systematic biases were eliminated from the U.K. Meteorological ...
The Limiting Accuracy of Long Wavelength Lightning Flash Location
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Many recently developed systems for lightning flash location use frequencies of hundreds of kHz or higher to achieve enhanced precision, although this reduces potential range. However, for coherent systems operating at ...
Networked Multimedia Tools for Architectural Engineering
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper provides a brief history of networked multimedia technology in the United States. The evolution of the Internet and the World Wide Web is outlined. The use of traditional computer technologies by engineering and ...
Unstable and Damped Equatorial Modes in Simple Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Free equatorial modes for several simple coupled ocean-atmosphere models are determined. They are found to include unstable and damped modes of large zonal scale and long period. The influence of ocean thermo-dynamics on ...
Investigation of the Effects of Catalyst Loading and Gas Flow Rate on Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cell Performance and Degradation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the effects of gas flow rates and catalyst loading on polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance was investigated using a 50 cm2 active area fuel cell fixture ...
Interannual Variability in a Tropical Atmosphere–Ocean Model: Influence of the Basic State, Ocean Geometry and Nonlinearity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The behavior of a tropical coupled atmosphere/ocean model is analyzed for a range of different background states and ocean geometries. The model is essentially that of Cane and Zebiak for the tropical Pacific, except only ...
Intraseasonal and Interannual Oscillations in Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study investigates the behavior of coupled ocean-atmosphere models in an environment where atmospheric wave speeds are considerably reduced from their dry atmospheric values, by, for example, condensation-moisture ...
