Exploratory Analysis of the Difference between Temperature Observations Recorded by ASOS and Conventional Methods
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Automated Surface Observing System is currently replacing conventional observations at the National Weather Service, the Federal Aviation Administration, and other stations that report hourly observations. From a ...
Air Temperature Comparison between the MMTS and the USCRN Temperature Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) was officially and nationally commissioned by the Department of Commerce and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in 2004. During a 1-yr side-by-side field ...
On the USCRN Temperature System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In 2004 a new aspirated surface air temperature system was officially deployed nationally in the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) commissioned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The primary goal ...
Effects of the El Chichon Volcanic Cloud on Direct and Diffuse Solar Irradiances
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Direct normal and diffuse solar irradiances and 500 nm aerosol optical depths measured at the University of Michigan departed far from normal on 26 October 1982, when it is concluded that the main stratospheric cloud from ...
On the Effect of Transient In Plane Dynamics of the Compression Ring Upon Its Tribological Performance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Energy losses in an internal combustion engine are either thermal or parasitic. The latter are the mechanical inefficiencies, chiefly as the result of generated friction. Nearly half of these losses are attributed to the ...
On the Transient Three-Dimensional Tribodynamics of Internal Combustion Engine Top Compression Ring
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: There are increasing pressures upon the automotive industry to reduce harmful emissions as well as meeting the key objective of enhanced fuel efficiency, while improving or retaining the engine output power. The losses in ...
A New Technique to Estimate Sensible Heat Fluxes around Micrometeorological Towers Using Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractUpscaling point measurements from micrometeorological towers is a challenging task that is important for a variety of applications, for example, in process studies of convection initiation, carbon and energy budget ...
A Comparison of the U.S. Climate Reference Network Precipitation Data to the Parameter-Elevation Regressions on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Comparative Study of ASOS and USCRN Temperature Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Temperature measurements from the U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) instrument system were compared to the Automated Surface Observing System (ASOS) ambient air temperature measurements and were examined under different ...
