Effects of Downdrafts and Mesoscale Convective Organization on the Heat and Moisture Budgets of Tropical Cloud Clusters. Part I: A Diagnostic Cumulus Ensemble Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A diagnostic cumulus ensemble model is developed to study the effects of convective-scale downdrafts and mesoscale convective organization on the heat and moisture budgets of tropical cloud clusters. The model adopts the ...
Effects of Downdrafts and Mesoscale Convective Organization on the Heat and Moisture Budgets of Tropical Cloud Clusters. Part II: Effects of Convective-Scale Downdrafts
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The diagnostic cumulus ensemble model presented in Part I of this paper is applied to the data taken during Phase III of the GARP Tropical Atlantic Experiment (GATE) to examine the effects of convective-scale downdrafts ...

Effects of Downdrafts and Mesoscale Convective Organization on the Heat and Moisture Budgets of Tropical Cloud Clusters. Part III: Effects of Mesoscale Convective Organization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of mesoscale convective organization on the large-scale heat and moisture budgets of tropical cloud clusters are studied using the GATE Phase III data. Two basic questions concerning the mesoscale effects are ...
Inclusion of Rainwater Budget and Convective Downdrafts in the Arakawa–Schubert Cumulus Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A combined updraft?downdraft model that includes the mass, rainwater, and vertical momentum budget equations for both updrafts and downdrafts is incorporated into the Arakawa?Schubert (A?S) cumulus parameterization. The ...
Design of an Underactuated Finger Based on a Novel Nine-Bar Mechanism
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Elastic elements are commonly adopted to realize underactuation in the design of human-friendly prosthetic hands. The stiffness of these elastic elements, which is a key factor affecting the grasp performance of the ...
Cumulus Ensemble Effects on the Large-Scale Vorticity and Momentum Fields of GATE. Part II: Parameterization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A parameterization of cumulus ensemble effects on the large-scale vorticity is tested to interpret the vorticity budget residual, Z, observed during Phase III of GARP Atlantic Tropical Experiment (GATE). The parameterization ...
Theoretical Modeling of Conformal Criterion for Flexible Electronics Attached Onto Complex Surface
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Transferring completed electronic devices onto curvilinear surfaces is popular for fabricating three-dimensional curvilinear electronics with high performance, while the problems of conformality between the unstretchable ...
A Computationally Efficient Multichannel Active Road Noise Control System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A multichannel active noise control (ANC) system has been developed for a vehicle application, which employs loudspeakers to reduce the lowfrequency road noise. Six accelerometers were attached to the vehicle structure to ...
