Abstract: Cloud data derived from TIROS VII photographs over the North Pacific area were used to supplement synoptic surface cloud data in an automated layered-nephanalysis program. During the test period, cloud data from nine TIROS ...

Abstract: Cold air outflow over the Gulf Stream is modeled using a cloud-resolving large-eddy simulation model with three classes of precipitation. Simulations are conducted in a quasi-Lagrangian framework using an idealized sounding ...

Abstract: In this work, the exergy analysis of two configurations of hybrid solar–sugarcane cogeneration power plant is proposed in order to evaluate the overall efficiency enhancement of the cycle. Solar thermal energy was coupled ...

Abstract: A nonlinear, numerical model of a dry, compressible atmosphere is used to simulate the hydrostatic and geostrophic adjustment to a localized prescribed injection of momentum applied over 5 min. with a size characteristic ...

Abstract: Measurements of the momentum, heat, moisture, energy, and scalar variance fluxes are combined with dissipation estimates to investigate the behavior of marine surface layer turbulence. These measurements span a wide range ...

Abstract: Aircraft altimeter and in situ measurements are used to examine relationships between altimeter backscatter and the magnitude of near-surface wind and friction velocities. Comparison of altimeter radar cross section with ...

Abstract: urface energy fluxes, at averaging times from 10 min to 1 h, are needed as inputs to most state-of-the-art dispersion models. The sensible heat flux is a major priority, because it is combined with the momentum flux to ...
