Abstract: Triaxial sonic anemometer velocity measurements vertically arrayed at six levels within and above a pine forest were used to examine the performance of two second-order closure models put forth by Wilson and Shaw and by ...

Abstract: he accuracy of rain-rate estimation using polarimetric radar measurements has been improved as a result of better characterization of radar measurement quality and rain microphysics. In the literature, a variety of power-law ...

Abstract: variational algorithm for estimating measurement error covariance and the attenuation of X-band polarimetric radar measurements is described. It concurrently uses both the differential reflectivity ZDR and propagation phase ...

Abstract: For level-of-service analysis, the 1994

Abstract: The drop size distribution (DSD) and drop shape relation (DSR) characteristics that were observed by a ground-based 2D video disdrometer and retrieved from a C-band polarimetric radar in the typhoon systems during landfall ...

Abstract: ual-Doppler, polarimetric radar observations and precipitation efficiency (PE) calculations are used to analyze subtropical heavy rainfall events that occurred in southern Taiwan from 14 to 17 June 2008 during the Southwest ...

Abstract: A strut-and-tie design methodology is presented for three-dimensional reinforced concrete structures. The unknown strut-and-tie model is realized through the machinery of a refined evolutionary structural optimization ...

Abstract: Advancements in flexible electronics demand innovative thermal management solutions that are both flexible and efficient. A fully 3D-printed polymeric heat pipe with high flexibility and low cost was demonstrated in this ...
