Spatially Explicit Parameterization of a Terrestrial Ecosystem Model and Its Application to the Quantification of Carbon Dynamics of Forest Ecosystems in the Conterminous United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors use a spatially explicit parameterization method and the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM) to quantify the carbon dynamics of forest ecosystems in the conterminous United States. Six key parameters that govern ...
Digital Filter Initialization for MM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper several configurations of the fifth-generation Pennsylvania State University?National Center for Atmospheric Research (PSU?NCAR) Mesoscale Model (MM5), which is implemented at Beijing Institute of Urban ...
Linear Instability with Ekman and Interior Friction. Part I: Quasigeostrophic Eigenanalysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The eigenvalue problems for the original Eady model and a modified Eady model (the G model) are examined with no friction, Ekman friction only, and both Ekman and interior friction. When both Ekman and interior friction ...
An Approach for Optimal Measurements Selection on Gas Turbine Engine Fault Diagnosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Gas path fault diagnosis plays an important role in guaranteeing safe, reliable and costeffective operation for gas turbine engines. Measurements selection is among the most critical issues for diagnostic method implementation. ...
A Quality Control Method for Wind Profiler Observations toward Assimilation Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA wind profiler network with a total of 65 profiling radar systems was operated by the China Meteorological Observation Center (MOC) of the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) until July 2015. In this study, ...
Comprehensive Flow Path Design Method for the Adaptive Cycle Engine Considering the Coupling Relation of Multiple Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The adaptive cycle engine (ACE) has multiple coupled components on the same spool and complex bypass system, which makes it have more complex intercomponent coupling relation and hard to coordinate in the flow path design. ...
Accuracy Enhancement of Thermoelectric Simulation by Modeling the Electrical Contact
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The main objective of this study is to numerically analyze the uncertainty of the electrical interface resistance in thermoelectric modules (TEMs) and its contribution to the error of practical device and system simulation. ...
Molecular Dynamics Studies of Homogeneous and Heterogeneous Thermal Bubble Nucleation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Thermal bubble nucleation was studied using molecular dynamics for both homogeneous and heterogeneous argon systems using isothermalisobaric (NPT) and isothermalisostress (NPzzT) ensembles. Unlike results using NVE and NVT ...
Nowcasting Challenges during the Beijing Olympics: Successes, Failures, and Implications for Future Nowcasting Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Beijing 2008 Forecast Demonstration Project (B08FDP) included a variety of nowcasting systems from China, Australia, Canada, and the United States. A goal of the B08FDP was to demonstrate state-of-the-art nowcasting ...
