Energy Balance Models Incorporating Transport of Thermal and Latent Energy
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Standard latitudinally resolved energy balance models describe conservation of energy on a sphere subject to solar heating, cooling by infrared radiation and diffusive redistribution of energy according to a Fourier type ...
Evaporation-Limited Tropical Temperatures as a Constraint on Climate Sensitivity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Studies of paleoclimate and modern observations indicate that evaporative effects limit thermal response in equatorial regions. We develop a latitude-resolved, steady-state energy balance model which incorporates the effect ...
Uncertainty in Wave Basin Testing of a Fixed Oscillating Water Column Wave Energy Converter
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This research presents a methodology for carrying out uncertainty analysis on measurements made during wave basin testing of an oscillating water column wave energy converter. Values are determined for type A and type B ...
