RISThe Effect of Finite Geometry on the Three-Dimensional Transfer of Solar Irradiance in Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The transfer of solar irradiance in three-dimensional clouds has been modeled by both a Monte Carlo process and an analytical technique. At the expense of considerable computation time the Monte Carlo model provides an ...
Using a Dynamic Substructuring Approach to Model the Effects of Acoustic Damping in Coupled Acoustic–Structure Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Acoustic–structure coupling can substantially alter the frequency response of air-filled structures. Coupling effects typically manifest as two resonance peaks at frequencies above and below the resonant frequency of the ...
The Effects of Longwave Radiation in a Small Cumulus Cloud
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of longwave radiation in a small cumulus cloud are investigated by a combination of a three-dimensional radiative transfer model as well as a slab-symmetric cloud dynamics model. The calculations indicate that ...
Application of Continuation Methods to Uniaxially Loaded Postbuckled Plates
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Continuation methods are used to examine the static and dynamic postbuckled behavior of a uniaxially loaded, simply supported plate. Continuation methods have been extensively used to study problems in mathematics and ...
Implementation of Speed Variation in the Structural Dynamic Assessment of Turbomachinery Flow Path Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During the design of turbomachinery flow path components, the assessment of possible structural resonant conditions is critical. Higher frequency modes of these structures are frequently found to be subject to resonance ...
Profiling ALACEs and Other Advances in Autonomous Subsurface Floats
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the past decade more than 1200 autonomous floats have been deployed worldwide. In addition to velocity as marked by lateral movement, many of these floats measured quantities like profiles of temperature and salinity, ...
On Surface Temperature, Greenhouse Gases, and Aerosols: Models and Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effect of changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and sulphate aerosols on near-surface temperature is investigated using a version of the Hadley Centre atmospheric model coupled to a mixed layer ocean. ...
The Autonomous Lagrangian Circulation Explorer (ALACE)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The autonomous Lagrangian circulation explorer (ALACE) is a subsurface float that cycles vertically from a depth where it is neutrally buoyant to the surface where it is located by, and relays data to, System Argos satellites. ...
Decadal Spinup of the South Pacific Subtropical Gyre
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An increase in the circulation of the South Pacific Ocean subtropical gyre, extending from the sea surface to middepth, is observed over 12 years. Datasets used to quantify the decadal gyre spinup include satellite altimetric ...
Multi-Instrument Comparison of Top-of-Atmosphere Reflected Solar Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from the Clouds and the Earth?s Radiant Energy System (CERES), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR), and Sea-Viewing Wide-Field-of-View Sensor ...
