RISA Consistent Treatment of the Evaporation of Rain and Snow for Use in Large-Scale Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The parameterization of evaporation of rain and snow in large-scale numerical models of the atmosphere is considered. Evaporation coefficients dependent on the precipitation rate are derived following the method of Kessler ...

A Mass Flux Convection Scheme with Representation of Cloud Ensemble Characteristics and Stability-Dependent Closure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The convection scheme used at the UK Meteorological Office in large-scale numerical models is described. The scheme uses a ?bulk? cloud model to represent an ensemble of convective clouds and aims to represent shallow, ...
Intelligent Sliding Mode Control of Cutting Force During Single-Point Turning Operations
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel intelligent control architecture has been developed to regulate cutting forces during single-point turning operations. A self-adapting Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) accounts for parameter ...
Actuation and Control Strategies for Miniature Robotic Surgical Systems
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During the past 20years, tremendous advancements have been made in the fields of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and minimally invasive, robotically assisted (MIRA) cardiac surgery. Benefits from ...
Sources of Mesoscale Variability of Gravity Waves. Part I: Topographic Excitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Aircraft measurements of winds and temperatures collected during the GASP program are used to study the effects of topography as a source of mesoscale variability. Variances of fluctuations at the mesoscale over rough ...
A Climatology of Transition Season Colorado Cyclones: 1961–1990
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Frequency, track, and intensity characteristics of transition season Colorado cyclones are investigated for the period 1961?90. Monthly cyclone totals are examined for evidence of seasonal frequency variations during the ...
Correlations between Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer Data and an Antecedent Precipitation Index
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Passive microwave brightness temperatures from the Nimbus-7 Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR) can be used to infer the soil moisture content over agricultural areas such as the southern Great Plains of the ...
Active Attenuation of Building Structural Response Using Robust Control
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Robust control techniques are very attractive for active building control. This is particularly true during seismic disturbances, when the spectral characteristics of the disturbance are unknown, and the stiffness and ...
Similitude Interpretation of Jar Test Data
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A method for using a modified jar test in conjunction with a hydraulic similitude calculation was developed to predict sedimentation basin performance. The method was tested at the Mark B. Whitaker Water Treatment Plant ...
