Viscous Boundary Layers in Rotating Fluids Driven by Periodic Flows
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The boundary layers formed in a rotating fluid by oscillating flow over an infinite half-plate are analyzed in detail. The undisturbed flow is composed of a steady velocity parallel to the plate plus a small oscillating ...
Comparison of Predicted and Observed Solar Radiation in an Urban Area
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements of the downward solar radiant flux in the St. Louis, Mo., area are compared with predictionsfrom an approximate solution to the radiative transfer equation. The atmospheric aerosols were assumedto have a power ...
Wavelength Dependence of the Absorption of Black Carbon Particles: Predictions and Results from the TARFOX Experiment and Implications for the Aerosol Single Scattering Albedo
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements are presented of the wavelength dependence of the aerosol absorption coefficient taken during the Tropical Aerosol Radiative Forcing Observational Experiment (TARFOX) over the northern Atlantic. The data show ...
