Abstract: A method was investigated to estimate broadband surface shortwave albedo from the narrowband reflectances obtained by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometers (AVHRRs) on board the polar orbiting satellites. Field ...

Abstract: Wavelet analysis was applied to turbulence data for temperature and vertical velocity within and above a deciduous forest. This method appears to provide an objective technique for examining thermal and flow fields associated ...

Abstract: Turbulent fluxes of chemically reactive trace gases in the neutral atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) were simulated with a one-dimensional, coupled diffusion-chemistry model. The effects of rapid chemical reactions were ...

Abstract: The use of externally bonded fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems in the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) members has become widely accepted in recent years. A significant concern with this technique is the fire ...

Abstract: The paper proposes a novel approach for the interval limit analysis of rigidperfectly plastic structures with (nonprobabilistic) uncertain but bounded forces and yield capacities that vary within given continuous ranges. ...

Abstract: The authors compared methods for estimating surface fluxes under clear-sky conditions over a large heterogeneous area from a limited number of ground measurements and from satellite observations using data obtained from ...

Abstract: A field campaign was carried out near Boardman, Oregon, to study the effects of subgrid-scale variability of sensible-and latent-heat fluxes on surface boundary-layer properties. The experiment involved three U.S. Department ...
