Abstract: he evolution of wind-induced ocean waves is studied theoretically. The modeling assumes that wave groups evolve independently of each other in a state of local equilibrium between wind-pumping- and wave-breaking-induced ...

Abstract: The development of a vortex induced vibration (VIV) fatigue factor of safety (FoS) consistent with stateoftheart industry design practice is cast within the coherent framework of reliability analysis. The proposed methodology ...

Abstract: AbstractMass?dimensional relationships have been published for decades to characterize the microphysical properties of ice cloud particles. Classical retrieval methods employ a simplifying assumption that restricts the ...

Abstract: AbstractAttenuation of the W-band (95 GHz) radar signal by atmospheric ice particles has long been neglected in cloud microphysics studies. In this work, 95-GHz airborne multibeam cloud radar observations in tropical ...
