Response of the Minnesota River to Variant Sediment Loading
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: We perform an analysis of the response of a reach of the Minnesota River, US to changes in sediment loading, including sand and mud. The reach in question extends 160 km downchannel from Mankato to the confluence with ...
Water-Quality Prediction Using Multimodal Support Vector Regression: Case Study of Jialing River, China
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Accurate water quality prediction can support the early warning of water pollution in water resource management. However, it remains challenging because of hydrological uncertainties in the single scale. A multimodal water ...
Drake Passage Oceanic pCO2: Evaluating CMIP5 Coupled Carbon–Climate Models Using in situ Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: urface water partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) variations in Drake Passage are examined using decade-long underway shipboard measurements. North of the Polar Front (PF), the observed pCO2 shows a seasonal cycle that peaks ...
Additive Model for Monthly Reservoir Inflow Forecast
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Reservoir inflow forecasting plays an essential role in reservoir operation and management. Considering the characteristics of monthly inflow (trend, seasonality, and randomness throughout the hydrologic year), an additive ...

Dynamic Forecast of Daily Urban Water Consumption Using a Variable-Structure Support Vector Regression Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A reliable forecasting model for daily water consumption would provide the data basis for scheduling urban water supply facilities. In this paper, a variable-structure support vector regression (VS-SVR) model is developed ...
The Deformation of an Erythrocyte Under the Radiation Pressure by Optical Stretch
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, the mechanical properties of erythrocytes were studied numerically based upon the mechanical model originally developed by Pamplona and Calladine (ASME J. Biomech. Eng., 115, p. ...
The Roles of Intraseasonal Kelvin Waves and Tropical Instability Waves in SST Variability along the Equatorial Pacific in an Isopycnal Ocean Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The roles of intraseasonal Kelvin waves and tropical instability waves (TIWs) in the intraseasonal and low-frequency mixed-layer temperature budget were examined in an isopycnal ocean model forced by QuikSCAT winds from ...
Spatial Variation in Turbulent Heat Fluxes in Drake Passage
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: igh-resolution underway shipboard atmospheric and oceanic observations collected in Drake Passage from 2000 to 2009 are used to examine the spatial scales of turbulent heat fluxes and flux-related state variables. The ...
Characteristics of Shear Layer Structure in Skimming Flow over a Vertical Drop Pool
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The characteristics of shear layer structure between the sliding jet and the pool for skimming flows over a vertical drop pool were investigated experimentally, using flow visualization technique and high speed particle ...
