RISSpatial Postprocessing of Ensemble Forecasts for Temperature Using Nonhomogeneous Gaussian Regression
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: tatistical postprocessing techniques are commonly used to improve the skill of ensembles from numerical weather forecasts. This paper considers spatial extensions of the well-established nonhomogeneous Gaussian regression ...
Supercell Thunderstorms in Complex Topography—How Mountain Valleys with Lakes Can Increase Occurrence Frequency
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Photovoltaics Energy Prediction Under Complex Conditions for a Predictive Energy Management System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Solar energy converted and fed to the utility grid by photovoltaic modules has increased significantly over the last few years. This trend is expected to continue. Photovoltaics (PV) energy forecasts are thus becoming more ...
Evaluation of L'Ambiance Plaza Posttensioned Floor Slabs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper summarizes a structural evaluation of the posttensioned floor lift slabs of L'Ambiance Plaza, Bridgeport, Connecticut. The evaluation has been conducted to investigate, among other factors, the effect on slab ...
The Use of Nested Models for Air Pollution Studies: An Application of the EURAD Model to a SANA Episode
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A multiple-nesting version of the European Acid Deposition Model (EURAD) has been developed in order to increase the horizontal resolution in a region of enhanced pollution, namely the former German Democratic Republic. ...
Estimation of Atlantic Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Frequency in the United States
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTropical cyclones pose a significant flood risk to vast land regions in their path because of extreme precipitation. Thus it is imperative to quantitatively assess this risk. This study compares exceedance frequencies ...
A Methodology for the Efficient Quantification of Parameter and Model Uncertainty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Complex structural systems often entail computationally intensive models that require efficient methods for statistical model calibration due to the high number of required model evaluations. In this paper, we present a ...
Experimental and Numerical Investigations on the Rotation Capacity of High-Strength Steel Beams
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work deals with experimental and numerical investigations on the rotation capacity of high-strength steel (HSS) I-girders. The investigation involved 20 three-point bending tests conducted on mainly homogeneous and ...
Determination of Precipitation Return Values in Complex Terrain and Their Evaluation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To determine return values at various return periods for extreme daily precipitation events over complex orography, an appropriate threshold value and distribution function are required. The return values are calculated ...
Model Parameter Calibration for Vibration Fatigue Analysis by Means of Bayesian Updating and Artificial Neural Network Based Surrogate Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a methodology for model parameter calibration for vibration fatigue analysis is proposed. It combines Bayesian updating of uncertain model parameters and artificial neural networks (ANNs). The calibrated ...
