Abstract: The step-tapered pile foundation is a relatively new structure. For this reason, current literature on step-tapered piles is still not systematic or comprehensive. Thus, it is of the utmost importance to carry out tests ...

Abstract: The classical problem of viscosity-driven, axially symmetric meridional circulation, partly solved only for the midlatitudes by Charney, is solved here analytically in the whole globe and for any value of viscosity coefficient ...

Abstract: Simple analytic solutions are constructed for an axially symmetric, nonlinear, slightly viscous circulation in a Boussinesq atmosphere in the presence of intense convection at an intertropical convergence zone. The ...

Abstract: Analytic and numerical solutions are found for the nonlinear Hadley circulation problem with respect to the dependence of the strength and the extent of the Hadley circulation on the thermal relaxation time. The dependence ...

Abstract: Contrary to accepted usage, the second central moment of the Doppler spectrum is not the sum of the second central moments of individual spectral broadening mechanisms. A rigorous theoretical derivation of the spectrum ...

Abstract: The time-dependent Hadley circulation is studied numerically in a nonlinear, nearly inviscid, axially symmetric primitive equation model, with the heating varying periodically on an annual cycle. The annual average of the ...

Abstract: bservations made at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program?s Southern Great Plains (SGP) site during uniform nonprecipitating stratocumulus cloud conditions for a 14-h period are used to examine cloud-top ...

Abstract: Spectrum widths, one of the three moments measured and displayed by the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D), are categorized for various weather conditions showing both expected and unexpected results. Weather ...

Abstract: here is an additional zero mean random variable term that couples mean wind shear and turbulence in the Doppler radar spectrum width equation. This random variable, labeled the ?coupled term,? has been neglected heretofore ...

Abstract: generalized expression is derived for the correlation function of signals backscattered from hydrometeors observed with a vertically pointed radar beam in which particle size distribution, turbulence, and mean wind are not ...
