Abstract: A practical controller tuning method is proposed for selecting controller gains in the face of design difficulties such as poor repeatability, long delay, nonlinearity, conflicting control objectives, ...

Abstract: The anomalous low-level anticyclone over the western North Pacific presents a link between El Niño and the western North Pacific?East Asian climate. During a La Niña event, however, the low-level wind anomalies over the ...

Abstract: Wavenumber transition and hysteresis in a highly unstable baroclinic flow are investigated using a high-resolution spectral numerical model. As the flow becomes more supercritical, the dominant wave gradually shifts from ...

Abstract: A solar radiation routine has been developed for use in climate studies. It includes the absorption and scattering due to ozone, water vapor, oxygen, carbon dioxide, clouds, and aerosols. Rayleigh scattering is also included. ...

Abstract: The large deformation of an elastic mount consisting of an infinite elastic strip of rectangular section bonded between two rigid plates under the combined loading of shear and normal forces ...

Abstract: Membrane stress state around an elliptic hole in a conical shell under tension is determined by perturbation in terms of a nondimensional cone angle ε and a nondimensional curvature parameter ...

Abstract: The response of radiation budgets to changes in water vapor and clouds in an El Niño episode is investigated using the analyzed sea surface temperature and satellite-derived clouds and the earth radiation budgets for the ...
