Abstract: Intraseasonal variability of tropical mean tropospheric temperature and precipitation are investigated using newly available gridded datasets from the satellite-based microwave sounding unit (MSU). Lag regression and ...

Abstract: Lightning has been observed from above cloud top by using satellites, balloons, rockets, and high-altitude airplanes, each of which provides a unique perspective and holds the potential for gaining new understanding of ...

Abstract: Automatic differentiation is a technique for computing derivatives accurately and efficiently with minimal human effort. The calculation of derivatives of numerical models is necessary for gradient-based optimization of ...

Abstract: Recent idealized modeling studies have highlighted the importance of explicitly simulating realistic convective boundary layer (CBL) structures to assess and represent their influence on mesoscale phenomena. The choice of ...

Abstract: The influence of incomplete liquid fuel prevaporization on the emissions of nitric oxides in a swirl stabilized model gas turbine combustor is investigated experimentally and numerically. The ...

Abstract: An optimization model for selecting and sizing potential reservoir and hydropower plant sites on river basins is presented. The model improves on the work of Lall and Miller by replacing the modified sequent peak algorithm ...

Abstract: To improve water quality and enhance habitat for fish and wildlife, a restoration project was initiated on the Truckee River at McCarran Ranch, Nevada. A water quality model was parameterized using Hydrologic Simulation ...

Abstract: Experimental investigations on a single stage centrifugal compressor showed that measured blade vibration amplitudes vary considerably along a constant speed line from choke to surge. The unsteady ...
