Aeration Due to Breaking Waves. Part II: Fluxes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Measurements have recently been obtained of bubble concentrations at a coastal shelf-sea site. A simple model of the generation of persistent bubble clouds by wind waves as they break, and of the subsequent evolution of ...
A Study of a Monsoon Depression Bringing Record Rainfall over Australia. Part II: Synoptic–Diagnostic Description
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Between 12 and 15 March 1989, a monsoon depression moved southeastwards across Australia, producing record rainfalls in the interior of the continent and caused major flooding over a wide area of inland Australia. Mills ...
A Study of a Monsoon Depression Bringing Record Rainfall over Australia. Part I: Numerical Predictability Experiments
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Between 11 and 15 March 1989, a low pressure system developed in the monsoon trough over the northwest coast of Western Australia. Subsequently an intense precipitating depression moved southeastwards across Australia, ...
The April 1990 Floods over Eastern Australia: Synoptic Description and Assessment of Regional NWP Guidance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Between 17 and 22 April 1990 widespread flooding occurred throughout Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, with several record rainfalls recorded. This paper investigates the forcing of the rainfall, assesses the ...
Comparison of Chlorine and Chloramines on Lead Release from Copper Pipe Rigs
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The objective of this study was to assess lead release in a pipe rig system that was disinfected with either chloramines or free chlorine. The study was carried out using pipe loops and copper pipe rigs that had lead solder, ...
Atmospheric and Fuel Moisture Characteristics Associated with Lightning-Attributed Fires
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: systematic examination is presented of the relationship between lightning occurrence and fires attributed to lightning ignitions. Lightning occurrence data are matched to a database of fires attributed to lightning ignition ...
The Use of High Horizontal Resolution Satellite Temperature and Moisture Profiles to Initialize a Mesoscale Numerical Weather Prediction Model—A Severe Weather Event Case Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note describes the assimilation of sub-synoptic resolution satellite-derived temperature and moisture profiles into a mesoscale numerical weather prediction model, intended for forecasting the environment of organized ...
Livin’ Large with Levees: Lessons Learned and Lost
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The use of levees for flood control has a long history in the United States in part because their relatively low construction costs and general effectiveness in protecting low-lying areas are politically expedient. ...
Diagnosis of Upper-Level Processes Influencing an Unusually Intense Extratropical Cyclone over Southeast Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: On 1 December 1987, an unusual midlatitude cyclone affected much of southeastern Australia. The storm was characterized by unforced rapid deepening to a near record low (locally) mean sea-level pressure, high winds, ...
Direct Biofiltration for Manganese Removal from Surface Water
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Research has shown biological filtration to be a successful treatment for the removal of manganese (Mn) from groundwater and surface water. In this study, bench-scale direct biofiltration was used to remove Mn and dissolved ...
