RISAn Experimental Study of the Strength of Standard Flanged and Dished and Ellipsoidal Heads Convex to Pressure
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Test results are reported for a series of 24 dished heads subjected to hydrostatic pressure on the convex face. Shape, thickness, and yield strength measurements are tabulated together with the ...
Estimating Downburst-Related Maximum Surface Wind Speeds by Means of Proximity Soundings in New South Wales, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A regional climatology of strong wind gusts associated with thunderstorms is presented, and the ability to estimate gust strength from ambient conditions is tested. Strong wind events were selected for 10 stations in New ...
Mesoscale Convective Systems in the Southeast United States during 1994–95: A Survey
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A preliminary survey of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) in the southeastern United States is presented. MCSs are identified and characterized by means of high-resolution, digital, composite radar reflectivity data. ...
Dryline Characteristics near Lubbock, Texas, Based on Radar and West Texas Mesonet Data for May 2005 and May 2006
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two months of Lubbock, Texas, radar reflectivity data and West Texas Mesonet data are examined to detect dryline finelines and to describe their thermodynamic and propagation characteristics. Before sunset the moist air ...
Trends in Atmospheric Science Journals: A Reader's Perspective
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A survey of 22 atmospheric science journals shows that the number of published articles tripled in 30 years during 1965?95, so that it has become increasingly difficult to keep abreast of the literature. A total of 1642 ...
Dynamic Buckling Response of Long Plates for the Prediction of Local Plate Buckling of Corrugated Core Sandwich Columns
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: An analytical model predicting the dynamic local buckling failure of plates with a large dimension in the longitudinal direction compressed at a constant rate was proposed. The model began with the hypothesis that the ...
The Use of Millimeter Doppler Radar Echoes to Estimate Vertical Air Velocities in the Fair-Weather Convective Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Vertical velocity characteristics of the optically clear convective boundary layer (CBL) are examined by means of profiling airborne radar data collected in the central Great Plains during the International H2O Project, ...
Vertical-Plane Dual-Doppler Radar Observations of Cumulus Toroidal Circulations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution vertical-plane dual-Doppler velocity data, collected by an airborne profiling cloud radar in transects across nonprecipitating orographic cumulus clouds, are used to examine vortical circulations near cloud ...
Dual-Polarization Radar Data Analysis of the Impact of Ground-Based Glaciogenic Seeding on Winter Orographic Clouds. Part II: Convective Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his second paper of a two-part series aims to explore the ground-based glaciogenic seeding impact on wintertime orographic clouds using an X-band dual-polarization radar. It focuses on three cases with shallow to moderately ...
Horizontal Convective Rolls in Cold Air over Water: Buoyancy Characteristics of Coherent Plumes Detected by an Airborne Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft and airborne cloud radar data are used to describe the vertical structure of the convective boundary layer (CBL) during cold-air outbreaks over Lake Michigan in January 2004. Two days with mesoscale cloud street ...
