RISFlow Patterns at the Ends of a Street Canyon: Measurements from the Joint Urban 2003 Field Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the Joint Urban 2003 experiment held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, an east?west-running street canyon was heavily instrumented with wind sensors. In this paper, the flow patterns at the street canyon ends are investigated ...
Are SOFAR Float Trajectories Chaotic?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: When particle trajectories in a fluid are chaotic, the fluid is stirred efficiently, which, in turn, enhances diffusive mixing within the fluid. Regular (nonchaotic) particle trajectories on the other hand, are not associated ...
Finite Element Modeling of the Contact Geometry and Deformation in Biomechanics Applications1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The main contribution of this paper is to demonstrate the feasibility of using one computational environment for developing accurate geometry as well as performing the analysis of detailed biomechanics models. To this end, ...
Transport in an Idealized Three-Gyre System with Application to the Adriatic Sea
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Motivated by observations of surface drifters in the Adriatic Sea, transport in a three-gyre system is studied with the aid of dynamical systems techniques. Particular attention is paid to the issue of intergyre transport. ...
Vertical Dispersion from Surface and Elevated Releases: An Investigation of a Non-Gaussian Plume Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The vertical diffusion of a passive tracer released from surface and elevated sources in a neutrally stratified boundary layer has been studied by comparing field and laboratory experiments with a non-Gaussian K-theory ...
Severe Weather Watches and Risk Perception in a Hypothetical Decision Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA great deal of research has been conducted regarding tornado warnings and protective actions taken, including some studies in which respondents were presented with hypothetical tornado warning scenarios. Much less ...
Learning from the COVID-19 Pandemic: When Public Health and Tornado Threats Converge

The Florida Area Cumulus Experiment's Second Phase (FACE-2). Part I: The Experimental Design, Implementation and Basic Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE) is a single area, randomized experiment designed to assess the ground-level rainfall effects of dynamic cloud seeding in summer on the south Florida peninsula. The second phase ...
Zonal Jets as Meridional Transport Barriers in the Subtropical and Polar Lower Stratosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Applications of recent results from dynamical systems theory to the study of transport and mixing in incompressible two-dimensional flows lead to the expectation that, independent of the background potential vorticity (PV) ...
Numerical Modeling of Precipitation Cores on Cold Fronts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A nonhydrostatic, three-dimensional, mesoscale model, including cloud physics, is used to simulate the structure of a narrow cold-frontal rainband (NCFR). The model simulations reproduce the observed ?core?gap? structure ...
