Abstract: The traditional linear generation fuzzy fractional differential equation parameter identification algorithm lacks the update of the parameter identification process, has a large amount of calculation, slow convergence speed ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development and performance measurements of a beta-type free-piston Stirling engine (FPSE) along with dynamic model predictions. The FPSE is modeled as a two degrees-of-freedom (2DOF) vibration ...

Abstract: A procedure for real-time correction of spatially nonuniform bias in radar rainfall data using rain gauge measurements is described. Developed to complement the existing gauge-based bias correction procedures used in the ...

Abstract: Variational assimilation (VAR) of hydrologic and hydrometeorological data into operational hydrologic forecasting is explored. The data assimilated are the hourly real-time observations of streamflow and precipitation, and ...

Abstract: This paper describes a technique for quantifying and removing biases from ensemble forecasts of hydrometeorological and hydrologic variables. The technique makes no a priori assumptions about the distributional form of the ...

Abstract: The Hydrometeorological Automated Data System (HADS) is a real-time data acquisition, processing, and distribution system operated by the Office of Hydrologic Development (OHD) of NOAA?s National Weather Service (NWS). The ...

Abstract: recipitation forecasts from the Short-Range Ensemble Forecast (SREF) system of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) are verified for the period April 2006?August 2010. Verification is conducted for 10?20 ...

Abstract: This is the second part of a two-paper series that presents the results of liquid nitrogen spray quenching of a stainless steel (SS) disk plate. The first paper focuses on the heat transfer characteristics of the liquid ...
