Abstract: simple bias correction method was used to correct daily operational ensemble week-1 and week-2 precipitation and 2-m surface air temperature forecasts from the NCEP Global Forecast System (GFS). The study shows some ...

Abstract: everal land surface datasets, such as the observed Illinois soil moisture dataset; three retrospective offline run datasets from the Noah land surface model (LSM), Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) LSM, and Climate ...

Abstract: The Center for Ocean?Land?Atmosphere Studies (COLA) global coupled and anomaly coupled ocean?atmosphere GCM models are described. The ocean and atmosphere components of these coupled models are identical. The only difference ...

Abstract: This paper presents an innovative construction method with bipartition walls (BPW), which was developed to reduce the excavation-induced adverse impact on the supporting structures and surrounding environment in oversized ...

Abstract: When adjacent foundation pits are excavated concurrently, the stress and deformation of the soil and structures are affected by their interactions. This paper investigates the performance of two adjacent deep foundation ...

Abstract: The predictability of any complex, inhomogeneous system depends critically on the definition of analysis and forecast errors. A simple and efficient singular vector analysis is used to study the predictability of a coupled ...
