Abstract: Peppler and Smith (1984) discussed truncation errors associated with second-order and fourth-order finite difference approximations used to calculate the geostrophic wind and relative vorticity. They found that these errors ...

Abstract: Conventional optimal interpolation (OI) analysis systems solve the standard statistical analysis equations approximately, by invoking a local approximation and a data selection procedure. Although solution of the analysis ...

Abstract: The fixed-lag Kalman smoother (FLKS) has been proposed as a framework to construct data assimilation procedures capable of producing high-quality climate research datasets. FLKS-based systems, referred to as retrospective ...

Abstract: Predictions of coupled conduction-radiation heat transfer processes in periodic composite materials are important for applications of the materials in high-temperature environments. The homogenization method is widely used ...

Abstract: Flow-induced oscillations/vibrations (FIO/V) of cylinders in tandem can be enhanced by proper in-flow spacing to increase hydrokinetic energy harnessing. In a farm of multiple cylinders in tandem, the effect of interference ...
